I know of a girl Talon (pronounced like Salon, but with a T)

Bad. Might as well name him Fang.

elle313 · September 2015

Not a fan

wassuphoes · September 2015

Nope.

Miss Lilac · September 2015

Eagles have those, yeah?

Talons aren't a great thing to be named after.
Changing the spelling doesn't change the sound. I would cringe hearing it as a name because I think of an actual talon.

I think of Laguna Beach and a bird of prey. Not a fan.

ecwk · September 2015

Don't like it at all.

I won't flame on this one I like it but I like it spelt Talon.

Most people don't think of the meaning of the name they just like the way it sounds. If u were to look at the meaning then Kennedy is misshapen head, Cameron is crooked nose, Gideon is having a stump for a hand, Calvin means bald, Byron is a barn for cows. I could keep going here but I won't.

Since Talon means large claw of a bird of prey seems like it has a strong meaning and better meaning then the ones I listed above.

Yeah, but Cameron, Gideon and and Byron all have historical use as first names in western culture. (Kennedy is a surname)

Talon is more, "I need a name for my edgy, dark vampire protagonist that conveys how edgy, dark and dangerous he is"

Except not because that's a little far fetched considering the meaning of Talon versus those of the ones I listed before. They may be historical names but that doesn't change the meaning behind those names whatsoever. If Talon meant edgy, dark and dangerous vampire, then I could see your point!! But it doesn't.

Ok so majority is a big No, lets just hope this baby is a girl then I won't have to worry about a boy name.

claireloSC · September 2015

Yup, I hate it.

kerismatic · September 2015

AWFUL. sORRY.

Sorry are you planning to audition this child for some new version of the Twilight series when he gets older. That's the only purpose I could see for giving him a name like that.

Me too!

So the name is spelled Talon, but I've only ever heard it as a female name. I don't think it's the worst name, honestly, but it doesn't have the best association and I'm not a fan of potentially gender neutral names.

My French husband gets a kick out of this name trend because Talon in French means heel or high heels. I know, many people don't know that but I can't help but think of Louboutins when I hear of a child named Talon. (I have two on my FB feed.)
