Fallon - boy or girl?

[mrsleomcgary]

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.

What about Faron? That's a boy's name.

My hairdresser in nz was called Fallon. She was female. I suddenly fell in love with it and told my mum. She laughed her head off and then said "dear GOD! Your hormones have overrun your senses. That is the chaviest name ever!"
Didn't call te baby Fallon ????

I've only heard it as a girl's name. I do love it though.

How about Farrow, Fitch, Fraser or Flynn?

My first reaction was that it must be a boys name but apparently not!! I'm not familiar with any of the Fallons mentioned above so it sounds masculine to me. In any case I really dislike it. It's a fairly common Irish surname and I really dislike surnames as first names. IMO it shouldn't be used for a boy or a girl...

Fallon only means one thing to me. She was beamed up aliens in Dynasty!

It's also an Irish surname.

I'd have instantly said boys name. Very masculin.
