Fallon - boy or girl?

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.

Fallon in the Archers was named after Fallon in Dynasty. Anyone who was watching TV in the 80s will assume it's a girl.

I think a lot of people wouldn't think it that strange to meet a girl called Fallon, because of Fallon Carrington Colby in Dynasty.

A girls name. I think it's pretty

It's a female name in The Archers!

There was a girl called Fallon at my secondary school, as far as I know, she was named after a character in Dynasty or Dallas or similar. I see it as a girl's name.

I have only heard of girls with the name and there is a character in the archers with the name.

If you have found no evidence of it as a boys name I would be wary

Jimmy Fallon is a US TV show host (like Jonathon Ross I guess) so I'd think masculine.
Even though it's a surname that's the connection I make
