Whats your take?

It's one of my top girl's names.

It reminds me of a character in Dynasty? Sort of a horsey feel but maybe because the character fell of a horse once, I don't know!

nappyaddict · 15/04/2009 14:56

I like it

Meglet · 15/04/2009 14:57

Dynasty here too. Makes me think of big hair and shoulder pads. . Apart from that its a nice name.

screamingabdab · 15/04/2009 15:06

I can't get over the fact that it's a character in Dynasty.

mickeylou · 15/04/2009 15:12

sorry I immediately thought of Dynasty too.

isnt the little opera singer from Britains got talent Fallon? or is it just something very similar?

MrsMattie · 15/04/2009 15:13

Dynasty. Horrible.

ScorpiowithabigS · 15/04/2009 15:14

Not good - the character in the Archers is about 20 and has obviously been called that to hint that she was named after Dynasty woman and is therefore a bit common (same as having a 20-year old called Kylie or, iirc, girl in Corrie, born c. early 1980s called Toyah). The associations will hang about.

nevergoogledragonbutter · 15/04/2009 15:40

horrible. sorry.

cory · 15/04/2009 16:58

that would be the accusative of the fallos (phallus) then

hmmm...not all that girlie

TheFallenMadonna · 15/04/2009 17:00

As soon as I saw the thread, the Dynasty theme came into my head. Usual if you love it go for it disclaimer though...

lotspot · 15/04/2009 21:00

too similar to the word fallen omho which isnt a great association!!
also i assumed it was for a boy

so yeahi dontlike it particulaly - sorry!!

fruitbeard · 15/04/2009 21:28

Hideous. Dynasty. Abducted by aliens. Very bad hair.

And said aloud it makes me think of that banned Chinese religion (Falun Gong?)

Sorry

Nancy66 · 16/04/2009 09:43

Awful. Either soap opera or porn star but either way, not good news.

southeastastra · 16/04/2009 09:44

sounds like a porn star name

Sorry I dont like it either too like allen or fallow.There is a young singer called Faryl which is quite nice.

randomname · 16/04/2009 11:59

I know a Faren

SuziSeis · 16/04/2009 12:01

I like it

Years and years ago - like 10 (!) I knew a toddler Farrar and totally fell in love with it

Not in vogue but then cool names never are!

WildSeahorses · 16/04/2009 15:39

It sounds kind of masculine to me - maybe because I automatically thought of Kieron Fallon though...

Fenella has a quite similar feel to it, but more feminine IMO

loobylu3 · 16/04/2009 20:55

Sorry but I think it is a really unattractive name for a girl- sounds rather masculine.
