Middle name for Fallon?

143 replies

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?

I know 2 girls called Ivy, 1 called Elsie, 3 called Rosie, a Doris and several Alfies.
Also Freddie, Stanley, Billy and Archie.
I like those names too.

I think we will see a return of Jacqueline, Samantha, Nichola, Dawn, Janet as the people this named become grandparents.

OP sorry for getting sidetracked on your thread.
Wishing you all the best as you await the arrival of little Fallon ☺️

DD (14) says Mallory.

Fallon Mallory. I think definitely 3 syllables

Nope those pretending they can’t see the obvious similarity to ‘fall on’ are making themselves look like thickos!

Completely different pronunciation!!! Sounds nothing like Fall on.

@IamEarthymama , the sudden popularity of some names amazes me because they seem linked to old Coronation Street characters. Ivy just makes me think of Ivy Tilsley, Violet of Ena Sharples, Elsie of Elsie Tanner, Rosie of Webster. Audrey of Audrey Roberts, Alfie Alf Roberts...

I quite like Doris (Speed - Annie Walker) and Hilda and think they are due a comeback.

I assume Archers Fallon was named after Dynasty Fallon by the way. Although it’s an old reference, it’s an unusual enough name that people are bound to ask whether you were inspired by Dynasty and you might want to watch some on YouTube just to check the character doesn’t bother you?!

ZeldaWillTellYourFortune · 21/01/2023 14:34

Victoria or Elizabeth

WhatAmIDoingWrong123 · 21/01/2023 14:32

Oh it’s just awful.

CorporateBull · 21/01/2023 14:32

I’m well old enough to remember Dynasty but Archers Fallon is my first association. I find it hard to imagine people pronouncing it Fall-On but that’s probably because it’s a very familiar name.

Sadly my grandchildren get very few of my cultural references as there is no longer a limited choice in programmes.
I am sure it will be exactly the same for Fallon when she goes to school.
I chuckle away to myself while they roll their eyes, just as I remember my grandparents doing.
☺️
I like Fallon.

KirstenBlest · 21/01/2023 14:23

@IamEarthymama , but if they are repeated on here, might it not be slightly repetitive in real life too.
I'd expect quite a few Dynasty and abducted by aliens type comments IRL.

IamEarthymama · 21/01/2023 14:16

Can I suggest to those posters who can't resist the impulse to be "witty " thar they RTFT before commenting.
Others have been there before them...

Yeah. People on this thread are just making themselves look like thickos 😄

For those of us who listen to the Archers on R4, we are well used to the name Fallon, even if we get the Dynasty references too.

I like it and would suggest Fallon Gabriella or Fallon Bryony.

I also like Nora Roberts and enjoyed the Chronicles of the One series.

NeverTalksToStrangers2 · 21/01/2023 14:09

They remade Dynasty. Same character names. It's on Netflix. Watch it before you decide on the name.

Twoinapod · 21/01/2023 14:05

As usual people are being ridiculous on here 🙄 it’s very obvious the way it’s pronounced. So much so that I didn’t understand people making “fall on” jokes until it was said as in my mind I never considered anything other than the correct pronunciation.

I did initially think it was a name for a boy, but no real reason for that.

People in real life aren’t anywhere near as judgemental as they are on here. I got so many negative comments about DD2 name on here, yet I get nothing but compliments on real life and it suits her down to the ground.

it’s a lovely name and don’t let people put you off.

itsme432 · 21/01/2023 12:05

Yes, Fallon rhyming with Gallon!

I get the joke comments if you're reading it as Fall on (two separate words), but they don't work with the way the name is pronounced lol

Fallon Jimmy 😂

Poor Kid. Might as well call them "fallon mummy is a pretentious idiot surname"

So unnecessarily harsh!

Riapia · 21/01/2023 13:31

Fallon Fallopian.

KirstenBlest · 21/01/2023 13:30

@trieditbuyedit , Michael Fallon was Secretary of State for Defence about 8 yrs ago. Other than that, I can only think of Fallon in Dynasty and Fallon in a radio soap. The Fall part looks like it might rhyme with Ball, but it sounds like Fal.

trieditbuyedit · 21/01/2023 13:14

I'm perplexed that some people may struggle to pronounce it?
It's not that unusual, surely!?

MissyB1 · 21/01/2023 13:10

It’s a lovely name, I’m in my 50s and remember Dynasty well but no one will think of that OP. And I’ve no idea why so many posters are pretending they don’t know how to pronounce it?🤷‍♀️ it’s not that uncommon!
Go for it OP!

Didn't Fallon get abducted by aliens at one point? Or did I dream that....

Seriously, it's not really my taste, but if it's a definite choice, I'd pair it with a longer middle name.

Fallon Elizabeth
Fallon Amelia
Fallon Louisa
Fallon Victoria
Etc

Coffeellama · 21/01/2023 13:02

Really struggling to tell which of these name suggestions and jokes and which are serious 😅 almost gave a serious reply to ‘Fallon Alan’ before realising it could be a joke.
