Girls only by associationConsidering the vast majority of Fallon bearers are girls born in the eighties, even years from now it will have a feminine connotation. Girls only in my book.

Dislike for a girl, ok for a boy

Whenever I see or hear this name, my first thoughts are fallen, talon, or felon. Not particularly good associations, so I have a hard time with this name, personally.

Sorry, but I really dislike it. It reminds me of "fall on" or "fallow".

Prefer Faren for a girl.
Fallon makes me think of an eagle or something.

It sounds masculine, but I actually kind of like it. It reminds me of Malon from Ocarina of Time. :)

I can't help but think of Jimmy Fallon, and associate the name with males. It's kinda funky, but too surnamey for me.

I love Fallon. I never saw "Dynasty" in my life but I know it's an association a lot of people have.

I've always liked it. I knew a girl in elementary school named Fallon Andrea, but she went by Abbe because apparently her mother named her without the father's input, and he hated that name so he called her Abbe. There's something *different* about it. It's one of those names that I like (like Leah) but I don't know if I'd actually use it because there's something dull about it at the same time. Maybe I'd use Fallon as a mn.

I like it :)

I know an Irish woman whose surname is Fallon, so I really can't separate it from being a surname. I like the Irishness of it, but I really dislike it as a first name.

I like it a lot for a boy or girl. I knew a girl Fallon who is 12. It's a cool name.

Sorry, but I don't like it at all. It always strikes me as a cross between "falcon" and "talon." The imagery is too set in my mind to ignore.

HAHAHA!

It makes me think of the 1980s tv show "Dynasty," which had a character named Fallon.

Me too. That's where I first heard the name. Even then, the imagery of a falcon's talon was there.
