Just curious on your opinions on Fallon for a girl's name. I have a positive connotation attached to this name I think because I used to be friends with a Fallon. That aside, I like it because it is not super common, and just because of the way it sounds.

How is it pronounced? Like Falcon, or "fall on"?

[lookingatastar.livejournal.com]

It's more like Falcon.

[sarahjewel.livejournal.com]

In that case, I like it! :)

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

For the girl I know, it's said like 'Fal-in'.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, wait that's what you meant. :]

[krosp.livejournal.com]

Oh, Falcon! I have been wondering why I associate "Fallon" with a bird of prey... although it could also be because it rhymes with Talon. Needless to say I don't like it.

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

I don't like it.

[sorqaqtani.livejournal.com]

I like it!

[p-inkjeans.livejournal.com]

My first thought when I hear it is Jimmy Fallon. But other than that, I'm not pro or con.

I know a girl named Fallon too. I don't really like it- it's too masculine sounding for me.

[screaming--pink.livejournal.com]

Maybe it's just me but my mind goes to:

Talon.
Phallic.
Failin' [failing].

It doesn't sound like an actual name to me.

[lookingatastar.livejournal.com]

Eek! haha "Phallic" brings me to Freud, which isn't really what I would want for a child!

My friend goes to college with 2 girls named Fallon. I'd never even heard of the name before I met them.

[lookingatastar.livejournal.com]

This is totally unrelated (Sorry!), just noticed you are an Oilers fan! Canadian?

[hemsky83.livejournal.com]

Indeed Canadian :)

[heathity.livejournal.com]

that is my step-sisters name and it fits her well, although i would never chose that name for a child personally.

The image is still very "Dynasty" to me. I didn't watch the series, but it was pretty culturally pervasive in the 80s, although not to the extent that "Dallas" was.

(No, I don't know who shot J.R.)

[bopeepsheep.livejournal.com]

It was Kristin. ;-)

(I didn't watch it at the time, but it's one of those random pubquiz questions that come up from time to time.)

[space-monkey340.livejournal.com]

I think it's pretty, but not my style.

[o-honeybee-o.livejournal.com]

I think it's alright, i wouldn't use it though.
I know identical twins who are probably about 21 now named Fallon and Kirby.

[neroli.livejournal.com]

Kirby's also from Dynasty. That's pretty funny.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I think it sounds very masculine.

[anapology.livejournal.com]

I like it. I don't know why because it's not my style but i do quite like it...

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

I like it. It's on my list. I like how it looks and sounds.

[glitterberrys.livejournal.com]

I've never liked this name. Dunno why.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

I've known 2 Fallons and I really like it. I like how it sounds.

[wake-tonight.livejournal.com]

Sounds too much like phallic unfortunately...

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

I strongly dislike it because of its similarity to "fallen," which is definitely not a name you'd want on a girl. Plus there's the "phallic" thing, too.

i'd never be able to get away from the jimmy fallon associations.
