Page 2 | Middle name for Fallon?

Just brainstorming a load of name. Fallon is on the list if we have a girl but struggling to think of a middle name that flows with it 🤔 Any suggestions?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Fallon Eliza
Fallon Alice
Fallon Amelia
Fallon Catherine
Fallon Elizabeth
Fallon Verity
Fallon Sophia / Sophie
Fallon Kate

I would advise against using Rae / May / Rose - they are the ubiquitous filler middle names since 2000 and very dull.

An Archers fan?

Never seen it.

Got the name off Google and liked it.

Thankyou.

Jane was my mums middle name so that is a option for us.
Rae is a name I have suggested for a middle name regardless of the first name if it flows well but my partners not keen!

We don't even know the sex of the baby yet, we we're only having a quick brainstorm and Fallon came up as a name we both liked.

There are other names on our list I prefer, but my partner likes Fallon more (no he hasn't seen Dynasty) we got the name from Google lol, and if I posted some of our other names I'd expect backlash on here, not everyone has the same opinions. I think the majority of posts I have seen regarding baby names they're have been very mixed responses.

It is an Irish name. I thought it was too so I looked it up www.thebump.com/b/fallon-baby-name

Show quote history

You thought Fallon Jane because of Jane Fallon, the author and partner of Ricky Gervais.

Absolutely your baby your choice and it is a lovely name however comes with it connotations that will distract from that.

Fallon is a name that’s familiar to a large part of the population in the UK and abroad are familiar with and connect to a ridiculous TV show that’s still around now.

I know that when I’m recruiting someone for a job and see the name Fallon I’ll instantly go to Dynasty and have preconceived ideas about that person. It’s like calling a baby Bianca or Patsy. It’s now engrained in characters from popular culture

Try seeing every name in a professional role or something big. Can you see a lawyer, Dr or Prime minister being called Fallon?

Think about how a name can impact their life as an adult not just a cute baby name.

It’s not my favourite name but this reactions a bit much. I’m early 30s and haven’t heard of dynasty, neither has OP, I very much doubt in 20-30 years people hiring this baby will be thinking of dynasty with such a strong connection when hiring this person. Also Fallon isn’t ‘cute’ like mitsy is or something, it’s a perfectly strong name. Not one I’d go for but I’ve heard far stranger out there that may affect jobs.

ElvisCymraeg · 22/01/2023 06:49

The reactions on this thread are bonkers.
I'm early 40s and didn't make the Dynasty connection. The Netflix show isn't a huge hit, so it's not like calling her Wednesday or something...
I know the name from The Archers. I like it.

Thanks guys!

This gave me a laugh 🤣

But I don't need to rethink anything, none of your opinions would put me off, was only asking a simple question.

Our baby, our choice, still gonna carry on brainstorming ✌ Mwah 😚

There are nicer names out there but if you insist then choose a shorter middle name to balance it out.

Grace. 😊

Also @VioletCharlotte

Most Irish name lists are amazing works of fiction.

mathanxiety · 22/01/2023 01:28

@LondonPsych
It's only an Irish girls' name in the imagination of whatever computer generates Irish baby name lists.

almondflake · 22/01/2023 01:15

How about Rae , Fallon Rae ?

StarCourt · 22/01/2023 00:45

@DietCock why on earth would i mean that.

Fallon Jane came to mind, I think they go well together.

P.S. it is in no way an Irish name as suggested by PP .

Fallon is an Irish surname.

Anoisagusaris · 21/01/2023 21:20

I’m Irish and have never heard of a single Irish person called Fallon 🤷🏻‍♀️ It is a common surname though.

Sorry, but to all those being rude - pretty sure Fallon is an Irish girls name?

Ffs, this place is atrocious at times

penelope

Do you mean Penny-lope? People seem to be struggling with pronunciation on here.

DietCock · 21/01/2023 20:55

I'm not the only one who immediately thought "Carrington", then.

"In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a pleasure dome decree. That's what I'd like my hotel to be" (Fallon Carrington, in about 1983).

The first Fallon was very good, but the second one was a bit crap. I can't remember how they explained the change of actress.

itsme432 · 21/01/2023 19:49

I'm 29. Never watched an episode. Don't think I ever will 🤣

We just have the name on our list because we like it.. not because we've watched Dynasty 🤣🤣🤣

Show quote history

I love Dynasty. Im watching it right now. And I love the character Fallon and if i was still in the baby making age bracket it would definitely be in my name list.

SeasonsHeatings · 21/01/2023 20:46

Fallon is a beautiful name, I'm 40 this year and I had never heard the name before except for Jimmy Fallon. I knew exactly how to pronounce it though.
