Quirky in the way that all Q names are quirky, Quincy was once a buttoned-up, patrician New England name, an image countered in recent years by the talented and ultracool musician Quincy Jones (middle name: Delight; nickname: Q). 
 Quincy's high point of popularity was in 1977, when it reached Number 273, but it still has a lot of energy--and not only for a fifth son. It's one of those golden names that, for boys, ranks steadily in the lower half of the Top 1000, getting neither too popular nor too unusual. The number of girls named Quincy is rising, but there are still two baby boys named Quincy for every girl.
 It is the middle name of John Quincy Adams, the sixth U.S. President, who was named for his mother's maternal grandfather, Colonel John Quincy, after whom Quincy, Massachusetts, is named. Another association is the long-running TV show Quincy M.E.. 
Interesting fact: John Quincy Adams pronounced his name Quin-zee.
