  1. It’s his Daddy’s name. He looks just like him. And for years we have talked about having a baby boy that looks just like him and has his name… And not we have him. Manifestation.

  2. Chose names off a list and Quentin sounded best for being shouted out, in stern but loving way. Not a fan of the immediate association with the director of the same name as we’d like him to have his own thing going for him. Love his nickname, Baby Q!

  3. Boyfriend and I wanted a unique name. We loved Oliver, but too common. I liked Greyson (nickname Grey) and boyfriend wanted Quentin (nickname Q). I liked Grey but he loved Q and I was ok with either. Since it’s his first born son, I went with the name he loved. If we have another baby and it’s a boy, it will likely be Greyson. If it’s a girl, we already have a name ready too 🙂
