The Lowdown on Quincy Raine

My dh and I were discussing girl names. I usually get irritated with him because he doesn't like anything bold. His faves are Kathryn, Caitlin, and Brianna. Those are nice names but way to popular and boring/bland for me. I kept asking him if there was anything else he liked (something more unique or exciting). Then out of nowhere he says Quincy. I said that's a boy name. He said that he thought Quincy could become a girl name due to the feminine sound of the c and y in Quincy. I agreed with the trend of unisex names that seems to be happening. Then he repeated the name Quincy and said that he really liked it. A few more times repeating it and he now has a new fave. He tried to find a nice middle name for Quincy. I suggested something like Elizabeth that was obviously feminine to contrast with the unisex Quincy. He didn't like that idea. So after a few random pairings he came up with Quincy Raine and is stuck on the idea. So, that is the story behind Quincy Raine. It is intended for a girl. Now that you know the story, what are your thoughts on the name? Do you think Quincy is ok if paired with a more common/feminine middle name like Elizabeth? Do you not like Quincy at all for a girl? What are your opinions and reactions?

Is Raine going to be promounce Rain or Rain ey? Because Qunicy Rainy is too rhymey IMO. If you do not love it, compromise. Maybe use one or the other as a middle name and find a more feminine name that you love and he agrees to. GL
