Hi A !!!

---

I only can see 'London' in it.
So it is simplier just using London.
I like it on a boy.

No, I think it's pretty awful. It feels very juvenile and insubstantial. Although my 4th grader has a new friend one and it doesn't sound as awful irl as I'd assume.

It's alright. It feels so generic, though. Aiden and Jayden and Jackson and Logan and Landon. Like middle class suburbia, houses all beige and awkwardly over-sized, where you end up getting lost because they all look the same.

As a a male name, yes, as a female name no

Landon makes me think of airports: I guess because of 'landing'...

It's one of those names that I liked as a preteen (I first heard it in the movie 'A Walk to Remember') because of how it sounded, but now it just seems trendy. I liked Langston around the same time, which I feel has more character. It also reminds me of Laken and Logan and London: I've never liked Laken, I used to like Logan, and I've always thought London was kind of cute despite my (old) dislike of place names, so...I'd prefer London to Landon, especially for a girl.

I definitely don't like it for a girl.

I think of Michael Landon of Little House on the Prairie and Highway to Heaven.

I'd never use it, but I don't hate it for a boy.

Landon is a lovely name. I'm more familiar with it as masculine, but I can see how it could be feminine as well.

I used to think it seemed relatively nice, compared to other surname names.
Then I overheard someone addressing their son as Landon, and it was attached to a boy.
I realized I think it's bad. I don't know why exactly ... it just sounds bad. "Phonebook surname with trendy sound" quality?
On a girl, it's even farther from my style. I can still see what the appeal is, but it doesn't appeal to me at all. It's like Nolan on a girl.

I have a friend named Landon who is about 30 now...we've known each other since we were kids. I've always thought it sounded weak and bland even though I like him a lot. It was considered a "weird name" in the early 90s in Australia and I don't really get why it became so popular.
