Opinions on Avalon?

[blairsey]

Opinions on the name Avalon for a girl? Do you think people would mispronounce it?
Middle name would be Stella, Jo or Grace.

I know how to pronounce Avalon (as shown just above), was playing with the word in an effort to describe why it doesn't sounds like a person's name to me.

Marlon is a name with a 'lon' sound but I can't think of another.

I used to know a girl called Avalon. She spent all of her high schools being tormented and called Savalon. Poor girl absolutely hated her name.

Okay I think Avalon is now definitely off the list. Thanks for the advice guys.

I have a great aunt called Avalon, and it's the name of a suburb/beach in Sydney, which on your update, I see you mentioned. I'm in Australia, so it would remind me of the suburb/beach instantly.

Despite both of those things, I don't like the name.

So nobody else thought of "our Avaline" from that awful Bread sitcom then?

But... do bear in mind that most of our references are British and the name might 'sound' quite different in Australia.

I quite like it too. Tara is a place name as is Eden.
But it would cause comment if that's an issue.
