My son-to-be
I've just happened upon some great information about my son ( who should be born in a few days, and god-willingly will have a kilt on before he is a week old!)
My son's name is Juergen Quinn...and will be called Quinn. I did a lookup on what Quinn means, and here is what I found..
*************
(from behindthename.com)
QUINN
Gender: Masculine & Feminine
Usage: Irish
Pronounced: KWIN [key]
From an Irish surname which was derived from Ó Cuinn meaning "descendent of Cuinn". The name Cuinn is a form of CONN.
and here is the meaning of Conn
CONN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Irish
Means "chief" in Irish Gaelic.

So, I've unknowingly given my son a gaelic name!! I'm all the happier now! ( and yes, i'll have some pics o' my sun wrapped in tartan up as soon as I get them!)
