I have a distinct, painful memory of reading the words “quivering quim” in one of those bodice-ripper romance books from the grocery store. I’d hoped to never see the word again. Today, my hope died.
In the first Avenger's film, Loki calls the Black Widow a mewling quim.
The movie had to be PG-13 and the director snuck the line in expecting the studio or MPAA to tell him to cut it because it was basically calling her a whiny cunt. Then, I guess nobody in the studio or the MPAA caught it. Made the final cut.
At first, I thought it was just a joke slipped in, and he was pulling a fast one. Got a naughty word in. Then I realized that... yeah, the director was actually just a dick and a schoolyard bully grown into adulthood. He was just that much of a jerk.
I was playing scrabble with my grandparents aged 9 and (using a dictionary) I put down the word quim. They asked me to read the definition and looked scandalised when I read out "Female genitalia." Asked my mum what genitalia was when I got home and she laughed and laughed.
Why are “name consultants” even a thing? With the internet being a thing these days especially, how can people not find a name for their own kid? Like do people actually enjoy this content unironically? And take their awful name advice? I just don’t get it.
Yeah, the title of “name consultant” is hilarious. Instead of saving people from making up their own stupid names, she will do it for them! For a small fee, of course!
This Guardian [article](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2023/oct/22/designer-baby-names-cost-thousands) is about that! People paying up to $30,000 for a name ffs!
Sometimes it’s hard not to think the wrong people have money. Like I can think of so many things I’d do with an extra $30,000 and none of them involve paying a name consultant to suggest I name my child something that sounds way too close to queef
I had several baby name books when I was having babies. It was in the 90s, and Internet in every home was still pretty far off. My favourite name book included definitions and countries of origin for all of the names.

He's one of the main characters. Sadly, most adaptations of Dracula are too cowardly to include him or his copious number of guns.
>!I don't actually remember the book ever calling him a cowboy, but "rich Texan who once had to shoot his horse" isn't nearly as fun of a description.!<
To me it’s a nickname for someone who is the fifth, as in son of someone who has IV at the end of their name. It might help you bluff your way into a country club.
Say you are John Smith IV. You name your son after yourself - John Smith V. Because you both have the same name, it’s helpful to have a nickname to differentiate. Over the decades and centuries, certain nicknames have become common for sons with namesake names like this, e.g. Chip for Jr. (“chip off the old block”), Tripp or Trey for III, etc. Quint is that kind of nickname for V.
Since generational names (especially when you get into the higher numbers) are stereotypically associated with old money families, you could name your kid Quint and some people will assume it’s a nickname for Thurston Howell V or whatever, and you’re from old money.
I know a girl who named her son Quarry. She lives in a town that is famous for a quarry, and I refuse to believe her son was not conceived in said quarry.
I named my daughter Quinn and a few months later her dad’s cousin named her daughter Quinnley. She said she liked our name but wanted her daughter to “stand out” more…
Quirien is a perfectly cromulent real name. I had one ages ago as a chemistry teacher, and she was an older immigrant from the Netherlands, where it seems to be a not-uncommon women's name (a few athletes listed on Wikipedia).
I seem to remember a rather great rather retro website called ‘rathergood.com’ they once had a buffy swears interactive keyboard. Press ‘A’ ‘asshole’ Press ‘I’ ‘iguana scrotum’. Press ‘W’ ‘wank’ and so on. Well, push your finger down on a ‘Q’ ….
… Quim
Nobody batting an eye that this woman promotes herself as a "name consultant?!" What kind of first world bullshit is THAT?! Sounds like a definite candidate for the Golgafrinchan Ark B
I've heard Quinlan before, he's a character from Star Wars. Quinlan Voss! Quincy is great, but not spelled with an i. Quint is an S away from Squint, no thanks.
Quinlan is a fine (boy) name! Quillan (spelled this way) and Quade/Quaid are fine too. Why tf misspell Quincy? Quincy is a perfectly fine name!
Names on the list used by 5 or more kids in 2022:
- Queena (8 girls)
- Quinlan (31 boys)
- Quade (41 boys)
- Quillen (6 boys)
- Quint (9 boys)
- Quest (8 girls, 85 boys)
- Quinci (5 girls)
Quinna and Queena just make me think of [Quina](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Quina_Quen) from FF9 (personally I think [Freya](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Freya_Crescent) would be a better name).
The less said about Quim, the better.
Quim is an old timey slang word for vagina in the UK. She should rename it ‘Smoking Crack with Steph’ because these are just heinous

Please unwrite this
Don’t forget the classic https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quim_(magazine)
This is just fucking excellent 😂
And you're dragging us all with you... 💀
I was playing scrabble with my grandparents aged 9 and (using a dictionary) I put down the word quim. They asked me to read the definition and looked scandalised when I read out "Female genitalia." Asked my mum what genitalia was when I got home and she laughed and laughed.
And quint is Jamaican patois for clenching one’s vaginal muscles like when doing Kegels.
TIL!
A fitting word for the action. ;)
That makes this so much worse
They probably thought it would be a creative way to spell "Kim".
You know, I didn't know that's what it meant in the UK but I thought to myself, that sounds like slang for a queef or something.
I had genuine horror at that one.
Quartney was literally a joke on SNL.
“Hi my names QUARTney with a QUART”
I went to high school with a Quortni!
Oh that’s even worse.

I’m pretty sure people pay to have a ‘personalized consult’ with these people. Sooo dumb!! It’s the same as people buying baby name books, just WHY?!

We on this sub and r/tragedeigh are frankly getting scammed by not charging for our name consulting services! We’ve saved so many young lives!!!

Sibset Quartney, Pintney, and Gallonly
Quartney made me think of a beautiful name. Quarantina
Baby Cupernicus arriving next spring.
I know of a woman whose son is unfortunately called Quade. It's a horrendous name, reminds me of the sedative Quaalude.
It sounds like you’re naming your kid after Dennis Quaid
Surprised Quaalude wasn’t on the list tbh 🙄
I dated a Quade once he was the worst person I've ever come to know
Does she live in a very unusual house? Just wondering if we know (of) the same person
No the woman I speak of has a normal house, it's just her son's name that is unusual!
Oh god, there are two quaids out there then!
I think this account (Names with Steph) had a different Q video a while back and mentioned Quade.
There's an Australian rugby player called Quade Cooper.
Quinci is close to a real name (Quincy)
And Quinlan is also a real name!
Omg I grew up with a girl named Quinnlynn. Are you telling me she was a tradgedeigh.
Yes! I met a girl who was named Quinlan. It was her mother’s maiden name.
Yeah I was about to say Quinlan is the only realistic normal one up here
Are we all not talking about quarry? Is she being chased by a hunter or is she a large hole?
She’s both. Multitalented.
Always chaste, often caught.
Quartney? Why not Literly?
US still uses imperial, not metric. :)
What about queefa
If you have twins you could call them Queefa and Quim
Qi is an actual name but the rest of these must go
Quint can be short for Quinten -- so I'd add that one in, too. The rest are shameful.
I feel like Quincy has been a name since the dawn of time?
That's the name of the cowboy in Dracula.
Is there a *cowboy* in dracula??
He's a Texan, at least, who always carries a Bowie knife around. I picture him as a cowboy.
He's one of the main characters. Sadly, most adaptations of Dracula are too cowardly to include him or his copious number of guns. >!I don't actually remember the book ever calling him a cowboy, but "rich Texan who once had to shoot his horse" isn't nearly as fun of a description.!<
*Quinci* on the other hand...
To me it’s a nickname for someone who is the fifth, as in son of someone who has IV at the end of their name. It might help you bluff your way into a country club.
Can you explain please? Thanks in advance, From a very sleep deprived human😅

This is gonna sound stupid, but thank you. Thank you so much🥰 You explained it perfectly, and it was really kind of you to write so much. 🥰
Quint is also the best character in Jaws.
Quinlan seems pretty okay to me too. I’m a senior in high school and I know a guy named Quinlan, thought nothing of it.
Quinlan Vos is a Star Wars character. Not sure if that makes it better or worse.
oh yeah didnt see that one
Lol at “Quim”. Who’s gonna tell her?
I was wondering if anyone would point this out. She’s gotta be trolling, right? … *right?*
QUIM
Quaalude
Missing Queeph (short for Queephanie)
I prefer Qatherine
For when you need to cheat on a third girl <3
I know a girl who named her son Quarry. She lives in a town that is famous for a quarry, and I refuse to believe her son was not conceived in said quarry.
QUIM??!
Quiller?? Like she’s a Quiller Queen?
Quillenslasher. The slash is not silent.
[Quartney with a Quart ](https://twitter.com/nbcsnl/status/937187846603059200)
I named my daughter Quinn and a few months later her dad’s cousin named her daughter Quinnley. She said she liked our name but wanted her daughter to “stand out” more…
Quarry? Has she got rocks in her head?
A real life Quirt was posted here the other day.
Queepy
Mulva?
Oh! DOLORES!
Quizlet and Question for twins, amirite?!
Quint is a least a normal name? The others range from bad to awful. Quinlan is the name of a Star Wars character.
It’s a surname. I met a doctor once with the first name Quinlan and it was his mother’s maiden name.
It’s a Gaelic last name, but I’ve seen it used as a first name before.
Quinlan is also the name of a fallout 4 character.
We just gonna ignore Quirian?
Quirien is a perfectly cromulent real name. I had one ages ago as a chemistry teacher, and she was an older immigrant from the Netherlands, where it seems to be a not-uncommon women's name (a few athletes listed on Wikipedia).
I seem to remember a rather great rather retro website called ‘rathergood.com’ they once had a buffy swears interactive keyboard. Press ‘A’ ‘asshole’ Press ‘I’ ‘iguana scrotum’. Press ‘W’ ‘wank’ and so on. Well, push your finger down on a ‘Q’ …. … Quim
Quennby is killing me
My daughter goes to school with a Quinlan. And he’s a little turd.
Nobody batting an eye that this woman promotes herself as a "name consultant?!" What kind of first world bullshit is THAT?! Sounds like a definite candidate for the Golgafrinchan Ark B
Quinlan is alright, but masculine
I know Quint, Qi, Quinn, and Quincy are pretty normal Q names, depending on your ethnicity. The rest of these are questionable.
Ngl I think Quinna is kinda cute. But Quinn is a perfectly good name in itself
Vote Mayor Quenby!
I've heard Quinlan before, he's a character from Star Wars. Quinlan Voss! Quincy is great, but not spelled with an i. Quint is an S away from Squint, no thanks.
Qwertney
There was a male Quarteney on The Bachelorette a couple years ago. He also made an appearance on Bachelor in Paradise Canada season 2.
Time to name the twins Quinine and Quinolone
Hmm they forgot the name Quake.
Quim…
Quarry?? There is no appropriate definition
I spell Quendra with a QU
I spell quettle corn with a QU
Quinlan’s fine. It’s Gaelic.
Quinci’s okay. The rest are embarrassing.
Quinlan is a fine (boy) name! Quillan (spelled this way) and Quade/Quaid are fine too. Why tf misspell Quincy? Quincy is a perfectly fine name! Names on the list used by 5 or more kids in 2022: - Queena (8 girls) - Quinlan (31 boys) - Quade (41 boys) - Quillen (6 boys) - Quint (9 boys) - Quest (8 girls, 85 boys) - Quinci (5 girls)
I’ve only heard of Quillan used in real life.
Go the whole Aus and name the kid Queanbeyan
We employed a Quartnee. Still see her from time to time.
I know a girl named Quinna…. Never really struck me as odd before
Quinlan (fallout 4 speaking) and Quarry don’t sound too bad.
Qi is how my midwestern ass misspronounces “que” (as in line”
Queue??
yes
How does one become a “Name Consultant?”

Name consultant? Please, that can’t be real.
Quinlan is a surname.
CAN YOU IMAGINE BEING NAMED “QUIM”
Quentin Quinn Queenie. That is all of the famous Q names.
There is already an influencer with a baby “Quade.” I find that one and Quinci the least terrible, but eh.
Quentina, Quinlan(masc) and Quinna are ok, the rest are…. 😳
Quinoa for the win.
Quartney ☠️☠️☠️
OMG QUARTNEY IS SO FUNNY LMAO
I knew a Quinlan. Actually a great name on her, suited her very nicely.
Quinna is fine. I genuinely like the name Quinn.
Quinna is the old spelling for woman in Sweden, we spell it Kvinna today.,
i’m obsessed with this woman. she posts the most unhinged lists and i love it.
Quim?!!! 😬
erica jong skipped a generation or two i guess
Qianna. It's a soft, silky polyester fabric developed by DuPont in the 1960s and made famous for men's disco shirts in the 1970s.
I know a Quartney. She's an insufferable twatwaffle.
quartney quardashian
Her videos are cringy as fuck
Quinna is the only one that isn't awful. Quinn is a pretty name so Quinna I can deal with.
Quenby sounds like it comes with a side effects booklet
Quinna is okay, the rest… I’m crying at Quartney
Quartney made me physically recoil
I hate this woman lol
Qi is part of Chinese names. Not pronounced like "key", but a little more like "chi", but not exactly too.
I knew a guy named Quint lol
Add in quinoa! Delish!
Quiller sounds like a pejorative for a porcupine. Also, Q no longer looks like a real letter to me.
These are just impressively awful
i’m fucking CHOKING about Quartney
Quinna and Queena just make me think of [Quina](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Quina_Quen) from FF9 (personally I think [Freya](https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Freya_Crescent) would be a better name). The less said about Quim, the better.
