The Quintin Society

The Society Insignia.

The name Quintin comes from the Latin `Quintus', meaning `fifth in line', or more simply, `five', hence the pentagonal shape of the insignia! The first famous Quintin was Quintus Horatius Flaccus, the Latin poet Horace, who is most noted for writing the fairy story of the Town and Country Mouse. Quintin became a popular name in France after St.Quintin's martyrdom in 600's, and several French towns are named after him. Quintin is the purest form of the name, and often it has become corrupted to lesser names as Quentin and Quinton. You can read a numerological analysis of the name Quintin at the Kabalarian Philosophy pages here... see if it matches up to you! (It does to me!)

There now follows a list of people so far registered in the Quintin society. Please note - to prevent spam machines coming here and making nuisances of themselves, all email addresses have the suffix .tqshp, which you must remove before writing to any of these people!

NAME:    Quintin Lee James <qlj100@psu.edu.tqshp>
LIVES:   Bellefonte, Pa, USA
AGE:     26
HOBBIES: Electronics, power tools, computers

"My name has never been spelled the correct way by any person the first time they try, they also put my last name first which means any paperwork usualy is incorrect. "

NAME:    Quintin Warren McElwee <qmcelwee@aol.com.tqshp>
LIVES:   Jacksonville, Florida
AGE:     38
HOBBIES: Hockey, baseball, computers, American football, golf

"Spelling my name has become an art. It's been 21 years since I graduated from high school, it seems to be no problem for some of the old gang to remember my name, but, I sometimes have a little problem remembering theirs. I noticed that you use 2 `i's to spell your name. When anyone takes a shot at spelling my name they never try 2 `i's. Our version seems to be the most unique in this part of the USA."

NAME:    Quintin Pettigrew <qpettigrew@scsc.mankato.mn.us.tqshp>
LIVES:   Mankato, Minnesota
AGE:     52
HOBBIES: White water canoeing, camping

"My name is especially unusual, and it runs in the family. My grandfather, Alexander Harvey Pettigrew, came over from Scotland in around 1900, and I would be extremely interested to hear from any other Pettigrews who live in Scotland. I've never met anybody else called Quintin with two i's, and I certainly have never heard of the name Quintina before!"

NAME:    Quintin Lawrence Stephen Parker (Click for home page)
LIVES:   Hanwell, West London, UK
AGE:     17
HOBBIES: Computers, writing, music, poetry, getting lost

"I was going to change my name to Andrew, and did for a while, but found it was more difficult trying to get others to remember it! I find it both quite amusing and irritating when people mis-spell my name, but people generally don't mispronounce it, as I'm just known as QP or various unprintable variants."

NAME:    Quintin Jermaine Scott (Click for home page)
LIVES:   Moss Point, Mississippi
AGE:     19
HOBBIES: Star Trek, comics, computers, writing
JOB:     Automation & Network administrator

"I'm 6'1", with brown eyes and black hair. Throughout my life, I have considered Quintin to be a very unique name. It is one that people rarely forget, but constantly mispronounce. I has helped to establish me as a powerful force in my community."

NAME:    Quintin Ian Patrick Smith <quintin.smith@unn.ac.uk.tqshp>
LIVES:   South Shields, UK
AGE:     30
