Help with Boy's name...

So....I have picked out a name if the baby is a girl. But i'm having issues with a boys name. Mind you DB and I want this baby to be a surprise, so we won't be finding out the sex until after the baby is here.

I LOVE unoriginal names...names that aren't very common and names that make people bend their heads to the side lol.
However....I found a pretty original boys name that I absolutely adore. The only issue is I don't like any of the long versions of the name. And cannot find a middle name that sounds "okay" to go with the short version.

The name I like is

Quinn, but I don't like the names Quincy or Quinton. Quincy sounds a little well non masculine, and Quinton reminds me of Quinton Tarentino who happens to be in my opinion mentally ill lol.

The middle names I have so far are

Jay or Allen, and the name has to fit with baby's last name, which will be Stott.

So...any opinions of different "long" version of the name Quinn would be very helpful, or if you have any unoriginal boys names, feel free to post those too!

Well DB and I chose 3 names we like...and Quinn isn't one of them lol.

Fain Alan Stott
Gunnar Alan Stott
Archer Alan Stott

For Kora's middle name, I have quite the list to choose from

Rae-Elyzabeth
Rae-Alahna (A-Law-Nah)
Rae-Anne


As far as middle names on Kora goes....Rae is a MUST, as that was my Baby Angel Bailey's middle name. DB would really like to keep that some where for a middle name. But we're having an issue finding middle names that go with Rae.

So...ALL opinions are welcome! I love trying to choose names, it's so much fun. And DB and I are very very open to just about whatever...As long as its sophisticated but weird at the same time lol.

I like Quinley and Quinlen, or just plain old Quinn. (I have this picked out for the middle name of my next child, boy or girl, lol)  I don't think Quinn sounds like a "short form" necessarily; it is a full name on its own, but I don't like a 1-syllable first name with a 1-syllable last name (mine is 1-syallble, too) ;)
How about Quinley Kade?  Quinley Kai ("Ki")?  Quinley Jaymes?

How about Kora Lee? Kora Michele? Kora Breanne? LoL, Love the name. If we have a boy his name will be Kaymen Vincent Lewis. Vincent is the passer down.  I think all together the name Quinn Allen Stott sounds very good. I think i heard that on some of the websites they have name generators where you can put in the first and last or middle and last and it will generate some possibilities. If i can find it I could post it! Good luck!

ahhh jonas quinn is so hot. the person, not the name. LOL. but what about Quinlin? or some variation on that spelling? I totally debated Jonas as a name for Grey but I think my husband would get jealous..he knows I fancy Jonas, LOL. Watching SG1 season 9 as we speak...

anyway, Quinlenn, Quinlinn ...I also like Jamie Quinn...idk.

(Kora Ann, Kora Lynn, Kora Moiraine...just tossing that out there, LOL)

Hmmm I may be starting to agree that Quinn is an awkward name to make flow as a first name, but it really really rocks as a middle name...

That would be a wonderful suggestion....but my Older son's middle name is Michael and we call him Michael...so that would just be awkward lol...and it's always been a family tradition to name any Male child after the grandfather from the baby's dad's side...hope that makes sense lol.

I like the name Jonas....but (a little immature) reminds me of the Jonas brothers....whom I cannot stand lol.

I could always just find another name for the first name that I like a lot besides Quinn. But I am very stubborn when it comes to middle names, it has to be Jay or Allen as thats the names of the baby's grandfather and great grandfather. So those two have to stay.

If the baby is a girl we're naming her Kora...just can't decide on a middle name yet lol.

Friends of ours named their son Jonathan Quinn, but he goes by Quinn.  They just didn't think that Quinn flowed very well as a first name....

I like the name JoyRenee said, Jonas Quinn,  Even using Quinn as a middle name, you can still call him by that.  2 of my kids go by their middle names not their first.  I think having a first initial, middle name, last name sounds really sophisticated...Like J. Quinn (whatever)

I like Quinn Allen. I also had the name Jonas Quinn on my list (it is a character from Stargate; and yes I'm that nerdy). So maybe you could use Quinn as a middle name instead?

What about Quinley Michael Stott? I know Michael is not original but I find Michael can connect any two names together.
