Names for Boys:  Q


Quaashie           Ewe (Ghana) "born on Sunday."

Quentin            Latin "the fifth."  This was a popular name with the
                   Romans, who traditionally used it for a fifth son.  St.
                   Quentin was martyred in the fifth century.  Today, the name
                   isn't chosen by many new parents.

Quinn              Celtic "wise"; also, a form of Quentin or Quincy.  Although
