Girl's name dilema

Hello all! My DH and I are not finding out the sex of our new little bundle of joy - which will be fine if it is a boy, but disasterous if it is a girl as she may never have a name! We have already decided on Jack Robert or Jackson Robert for a boy, but neither of us can agree on girls names. I like Lila, he like Justine. I like Reegan, he likes Mya. Anyway, my point of this post - we came up with a name we both like, but are still a little hesitant (though I think it may stick with us both). The name is Quinn. Pros: Its pretty, classic, unique without being bizarer, and we BOTH like it. Cons: The double 'k' sound Quinn Cady (pronounced like the first name Kadie - is our last name) and we aren't sure what we would do as a middle name (though my DH like Quinn Simone Cady). Please be brutally honest and let me know what you think! Thank you all in advance!

I know I already responded to this post, but I have to say when I went back and said the name quickly without the mn, "Quinn Cady"... it sounds like Kinkade (thomas) the painter.

What about spelling it like Kwyn? I think it looks more feminine. Just a thought.

Kwyn Simone Cady - I think it works :)

Seeing your last name, Cady, I love it for a girl. It's too similar to Katie, though, or else I'd use it.

Your boy names are fine. The girl question is a harder one. Of your listed names, Lila works best with your last name. Quinn is not good with Cady -- too may hard consonants. If I were you, I'd steer away from C, K or Q names.
