Fallon - boy or girl?

57 replies

Currently 17 weeks with number 2 and so far not really getting anywhere with names for boys or girls. Came across Fallon listed in a book under girls names and we both love it. For a boy.

To me it sounds quite masculine but google definitely seems to have it in the girls camp.

For the record we don't have any plans to find out the sex so trying to chose names for a boy and a girl. Fallon is so far the only name we both love,but if we have a girl we wouldn't use it.

Dynasty equals female

Fridgedooropen · 18/07/2015 22:03

I'd think of Dynasty too. How about Allen for a boy?

I would say a sci-fi/fantasy bounty hunter. Uses throwing stars at range and twin daggers up close. Possibly a hint of elf in him giving him excellent night vision.

Why don't you use it if you have a girl?

Angus doesnt go with my surname.

Not sure why we like Fallon,we just do. We thought it was unusual but not weird.

The further I go into google the more results i'm getting for boy. A couple of American sites list it under both (but one says it's typically used for girls)

Only Fallon I know is a girl, sorry.

tubbytimmy · 18/07/2015 21:32

How about Tallen for a boy?

florascotia · 18/07/2015 21:29

Am really sorry to be difficult, but the correct spelling is Lachlan or Lauchlan (unless you are in Ireland, where it can be Lochlainn). In all places, it is usually pronounced Lochlinn/Lochlunn.

ConsulateMenthol · 18/07/2015 21:27

How about Angus?

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 18/07/2015 21:23

Meh - I wouldn't worry about GoT - 5 years down the line and no one will remember an it is a well established name.

Is it the 'f' or the 'll' sound you like?

I'm devestated,i was hoping to at least get some unisex responses. I dont listen to the archers and too young for dynesty so my only reference was Jimmy Fallon,who I love.

When I was pregnant with my first,whos Isla, our top pick for a boy with Lochlan. But apparently a new character is the next series of Games of Thrones will be called Lochlan and as i'm one of the 5 people in the world that hates that programme it's now firmly off my list.

I know one Fallon - female! I don't think it sounds that masculine really, sorry. What about Aaron, that sounds similar... ish?

Esmesgirls · 18/07/2015 21:20

There was a girl on Dance Moms last year called Fallon.

PrimalLass · 18/07/2015 21:19

Girl

IHaveBrilloHair · 18/07/2015 21:19

Girl from Dynasty, no.

Sparklingbrook · 18/07/2015 21:17

Immediately think of Dynasty, and not a particularly great name.

tubbytimmy · 18/07/2015 21:16

Family member called Fallon is female. Wish I had used it for one of mine. Love it.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 18/07/2015 21:15

Only ever heard it for a girl.

meglet · 18/07/2015 21:14

girl. I used to watch Dynasty.

AoifeBell · 18/07/2015 21:14

Farron for a boy I would say.

HaHaPants · 18/07/2015 21:13

I only know of Fallon as a female in Dyllas.

BuildYourOwnSnowman · 18/07/2015 21:12

Just to add - if I heard a boy being called gallon I would probably think it as odd as him being called Sarah or Joanna.
