Interesting! I haven’t thought of that.
Latin had the same Qu thing, so perhaps it’s only common among the Latinate languages.

Yup. U is the most common letter to come after Q in general, not just in names. Because interestingly there isn't really another vowel nor letter that works after Q (Qa Qe Qi Qo Qr Ql?)
Some of the more popular Q names include Quinn, Quincy, Queen/Queenie, and Quintessa.

Fascinating. I wonder how they’re pronounced?
