I think it's very pretty for a middle name, but only a middle name.

KatherinaMinola · 13/01/2017 09:39

Yes, I mentioned that above, Ipush - definitely not a Disney one, it's one from my own childhood, so 70s or 80s (or maybe an older book from the 60s or earlier even). Driving me mad too!

TheDropBear · 13/01/2017 03:05

Ipushed One of the Disney fairies is called Fawn, could that be it?
I wouldn't use it as a first name but think its fine as a middle name.

Ipushedmygrannyaffabus · 13/01/2017 03:01

I think it's quite pretty as a middle name but now it's driving me. Mad trying to think of the kids book that had a girl called fawn as a character, I'm sure there was one!

IWouldBeSuperb · 13/01/2017 03:00

^ First and middle name on different people obviously - Faune Faune would be taking it too far! :D

IWouldBeSuperb · 13/01/2017 02:57

I've seen Faune as a first and middle name - I think it's pretty!

TheMysteriousJackelope · 13/01/2017 00:48

Don't go with faun, that's a half man half goat.

MommaGee · 13/01/2017 00:34

Hhmm I think "everyone was fawning over her" and it rhymes with porn. Sorry. its pretty but I do think there's scope for teaaing

Sounds very "beige" to me.

Manumission · 13/01/2017 00:10

Faun? Hmm

OrangeJulius · 12/01/2017 23:59

Love it, and the alternative Faun.

DramaAlpaca · 12/01/2017 23:50

I'm not too keen, but I do like Fern.

Efferlunt · 12/01/2017 23:26

Not keen. It's a sort of beige at least that's what it reminds me of. Fern on the other hand I love!

Dolwar · 12/01/2017 23:19

I just think of a blah colour of paint.

Sierra259 · 12/01/2017 20:03

Not overly keen. For no other reason than I just think "Bambi"

Manumission · 12/01/2017 20:02

I like it. Pretty. Not too fussy or frilly. Overtones of Faye, Dawn and other more established names. Yes, I like it.

KatherinaMinola · 12/01/2017 19:59

I'm sure there was a children's book with a girl called Fawn in it.

Ollycat · 12/01/2017 19:59

It's a baby deer - if you love it go with it Smile names are such a personal thing.

PurpleDaisies · 12/01/2017 19:59

I don't like it. Why do you want to use it as a name? It sounds like a paint colour.

AliceInHinterland · 12/01/2017 19:58

I think it's sweet, especially for a middle name. My only reservation is the verb meaning of the word, to fawn.

KatherinaMinola · 12/01/2017 19:58

I absolutely love it - wish I'd thought of it! Grin

MaryPoppinsPenguins · 12/01/2017 19:57

I'm not keen... I just don't think it sounds like a name Blush

MinisWin · 12/01/2017 19:57

Love it!

Surreyblah · 12/01/2017 19:55

Wacky and a well known paint colour but quite sweet!

Also one of those names that implies a gentle personality, like Grace, which is tempting fate for a hellraising DC!
