Name Fallon or Vallon

6 replies

Hi everyone,

We think Fallon is a really nice name, but we'd pronounce it in a French/Dutch way. We're wondering if we should spell it as Vallon instead. Personally, I think the F sounds more feminine, but then it would actually be pronounced like "Fellen." What do you all think?

    Hi,
    I only know an Irish guy named Fallon! I looked it up quickly, and it is indeed Irish and apparently unisex: https://babynames.com/name/Fallon
    Maybe you should spell it with a V anyway since you mean a different name and origin?

    My first reaction was: Fallon. But when I read the story, I understood the choice for Vallon.
    Just thought that Phallon could also work.

    I think the name is actually quite nice, but I'm a bit afraid it'll always be pronounced wrong or that you'll always have to spell it out.

    Too close to "phallus"... so his friends will call him that. Same as "Yoni" for a girl. Nice name, but just don't do it!
