Thoughts on this name?

What does it conjure up?

Does it feel masculine or feminine or both?

I quite like it. Hippy 70s vibes. And I do love Roxy Music.

elenacampana · 23/06/2021 10:18

Sounds like it should be moisturiser to me.

Awful. Imagine it in the park. Avalon, come here. Definitely attracting a few eye rolls

Synchrony · 22/06/2021 22:53

I think it's beautiful. I know a 6 year old one. Definitely a girl.

It makes me think of Avon catalogues…but maybe that’s just me!

Friend of a friend has a girl (now year 7 I think) with this name.

Beauty school drop out

SpacePug · 22/06/2021 22:01

Avalon, rhymes with Babylon. It also reminds me of the place on Spyro game, it's called Avalar I think, really obscure though so doubt anyone else would have that link 😂

DespairingHomeowner · 22/06/2021 22:00

The roxy music song - so a girls name

LavendulaAngustifolia · 22/06/2021 21:59

My friend has a 6 Yr old Avalon named after the Vale. Nn Ava. Beautiful name .

ChrissyPlummer · 22/06/2021 21:59

Roxy Music and then the name of a hotel I stayed in in New York.

Justletmebuyahouse · 22/06/2021 21:59

Moisturiser

blueshiningsea · 22/06/2021 21:58

Anne of Green Gables or Savalon

motogogo · 22/06/2021 21:58

Very hippy/alternative. Have a friend called Avalon, her parents still smoke dope in their 70's. Nice couple though

OnlyCans · 22/06/2021 21:58

Sounds like a brand name but not in a good way.

Name of a TV production company. Not a child.

3ormorecharacters · 22/06/2021 21:57

I knew a very cool girl with this name so good associations for me. Not sure I'd be brave enough to use it myself but it suited her. She was often known as Avi.
