Thoughts on the name Devon?

[Anonymous]

Older siblings Fallon and Griffin.

Pronounced deh-VOHN or DEV-in? I would spell it the way you want, either Devin or Devon. I don't really like either but it goes with the other two names you picked.

That's either Devin or Devohn.
Have you considered Declan? I prefer that.

Currently makes me think of one of the sisters on Sirens.

Sounds close to Devil.

Yeah, I'm just thinking of that show Sirens.

Fallon and Griffin are going to be jealous of a kid with a better name.

Devon is a nice name that pairs well with your other children’s names. Congratulations!

It matches but I'm not sure if Devon and Fallon are gender neutral?

To me, Devon is a girl's name because of Devon Aoki and I have no association with Fallon. Devin is a boy's name.

I prefer gender-marked names. It's just easier. If you have three boys, go with Devin.

Also I wondered if Fallon and Griffin are Tonight Show and Family Guy references in disguise. If so, what's Devon from?

I like it, but agree with PP that Declan is better.

When not stick with your theme, OP?

(Jimmy) Fallon

(Merv) Griffin

Insert another tv host:

Kimmel?

O’Brien?

Stewart?

Colbert?

Winfrey?

Carson?

Letterman?

I’d probably go with Donahue (Phil).

Is it a shire?

Assuming you went thru 1000 names and landed on this. So in that context, and assuming it should “rhyme” with your other kids, I think it’s a good name but would spell it Devin (boy) or Devyn (girl).

[Anonymous]

For a boy or girl? I've only known Devons that are boys, but I know the lead characters sister on Severance was Devon, so who knows?

And for the love of god, don't listen to 10:27, she's a troll.

I knew there was a theme! Feel like I’m playing Wordle Connections!

Devon seems dated - maybe already reached peak popularity circa 2000?

Is Devon a boy or a girl? Since you like “surnames as first names” might you consider for a girl:

Allison
Kelly or Kelley
Meredith
Courtney

Or go ultra feminine classic like Josephine, Isabel, Eleanor, Rachel, Leah

Boy names:

Owen, Calvin, Gavin, Aaron, Evan
