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?

You are an extremely odd person

Did you not read the post by my friend who came up with Donahue as the third in a set?

That person made an even better pattern.

If you don't think Jimmy Fallon is the number one association with Fallon, you are an extremely odd person.

Fallon is rated #4592 for boys, and #736 for girls according to Google. I have never met one.

Hate it. It’s a beta male name.

All the male Devons (not sure of spellings) my teens know are troublemakers.
Do know one female Devin, spelled that way.

It’s fine’ish. It is def not a favorite name for me. It leans Derek which is also not a fave.

It's not my style but seems to match yours, OP. Just chiming in to say that if you do use it please don't throw a random "y" in there as suggested above.

I would assume it was De-Vohn and a male if I saw that name written down.

Yah. Devons have IEPs 10/10.

Good dragon names for teen lit though, in the off chance that is what you're up to. Are you a writer?

Devon Walker, Devon Bostick and Devon Sawa are all men.

I would assume you named them after the horse show.

Back in 1998-2002, I worked at a small company in Rockville. My boss (a middle class white woman) gave birth to a girl that they named Devon. When she was about three months old, they changed the spelling to Devin.

No. But then I don’t like Fallon or griffin either. Sounds like medieval cave dwelling creatures. Sorry.

(Jimmy) Fallon

Insert another tv host:

Kimmel?

O’Brien?

Stewart?

Colbert?

Winfrey?

Carson?

Letterman?

I’d probably go with Donahue (Phil).
