Are you joking? Because yes Avon Barksdale was a lead character in The Wire; (best TV show ever ever ever)

Not sure, but think Avon Barksdale was a character in The Wire, a drug dealing gangsta!!
However I think it has a very nice ring to it if you can get past that.....

I have heard of an Avalon - nice, I personally wouldn't use it but it is pretty.

Sounds like a cosmetic to me.
