Would "Fawn" work for a girl? WDYT?

Girl Names

Is it just me or does [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] sound like a cute middle name?

I think I knew one girl named [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] when I was growing up. But she was in a different grade and class – which means I didn’t know her as well! She was good friends with one of my now best guy friends, so she must’ve been a nice person.

And yes, it was her first name. I don’t know if I’m that brave to use it as a first.

Thoughts?
Also, do you have any suggestions for a full name that could lead to “[name_f]Fawn[/name_f]” as a nickname?

I don’t think I’d personally use it as a first name, but it would make a nice nickname or middle name.

Maybe:
[name_f]Fenella[/name_f], [name_f]Fanchon[/name_f], [name_f]Fania[/name_f], [name_f]Fenna[/name_f], [name_f]Fernande[/name_f], [name_f]Fianna[/name_f], [name_u]Flannery[/name_u], [name_f]Flanna[/name_f], [name_f]Finola[/name_f], [name_f]Fiona[/name_f], [name_f]Fabienne[/name_f], [name_f]Fabiana[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Frances[/name_f], [name_f]Francesca[/name_f], [name_f]Fiorenza[/name_f], [name_f]Floriana[/name_f], [name_f]Franca[/name_f].

I quite like it personally, I think its adorable though I prefer it as a middle or a nickname.

Maybe [name_f]Fauna[/name_f] is more usable?

I love [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]! I think it’s very pretty, especially with all the nature names being very popular I see it working as a first or middle. If [name_u]Wren[/name_u] is so usable why not [name_f]Fawn[/name_f]?

5

I think it’s possibly as usable as [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_u]Rue[/name_u] and [name_f]Lark[/name_f], but not at all as usable as [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] or [name_u]Sage[/name_u].
It will be an offbeat choice but one that works, sort of, perhaps only as a middle name.

What I don’t like about [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] is the second meaning, “to seek notice or favor by servile demeanor” (from dictionary.com).

Or maybe just go with [name_f]Fern[/name_f]? Ferns are trendy :stuck_out_tongue:

I really like [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] or even [name_f]Fauna[/name_f].
I also like PPs’ suggestions of
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]- [name_f]Kinda[/name_f] a Guilty pleasure name for me
[name_u]Wren[/name_u]
[name_f]Lark[/name_f]
[name_f]Fiona[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f]/[name_f]Flora[/name_f] - As an alternative to [name_f]Fauna[/name_f], but a sister would be too matchy.

To answer your Question [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] is totally usable in both the first and middle name spot.
Good [name_m]Luck[/name_m]!

Absolutely usable!!

I love [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] as a middle name!

I am going to go against the crowd here and say that I don’t think it’s usable. [name_f]Fauna[/name_f]? Absolutely usable. [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] sounds a bit like a stripper name to me, and I hate the second definition that a previous poster pointed out.

10

Absolutely. First or middle works :slight_smile:

I met a young woman (I say young but she was a few years older than me) last week named Nature and she wore it well, so [name_f]Fawn[/name_f] seems tame in comparison. I’d leave it more for a middle simply because it feels a little too… weak? passive? I’m not sure what word I’m looking for but it doesn’t feel substantial enough for me as a first name. I wouldn’t think negatively of anyone with that first name though, just not one I would personally use :slight_smile:

[name_f]Fawn[/name_f] is very cute. I like the spelling [name_f]Faun[/name_f] too.

What also works is [name_f]Doe[/name_f] or [name_f]Gazelle[/name_f] too, could make a good sibset.
