quote name vs name quote

Both "quote name" and "name quote" are correct constructions, but they are used in different contexts. "Quote name" is commonly used when referring to the name of a person who said a particular quote. On the other hand, "name quote" is used when the focus is on the quote itself, with the name being secondary.
