    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!)

    Good for you KT.

    My son's name is Welsh for Chief apparently but he was named after a friend of ours.

    I know there is a little welsh in there from my wife and on my Grandmother's side.

    Congrads on your son to be, KKT.

    It's a life changing experience! My son's name is Quinlan.

    We call him by his name or Quinn or "Q"

    Cheers,

    Q for a nickname? Does he think he's omnipotent? Does he have a friend named Jean Luc Picard?
