There was a pop song about 25 years ago I suppose, perhaps longer, either called Avalon or about an Avalon person. I never heard it, but I did meet a woman whose daughter (now deep in her 20s) was named Avalon after the song because it was absolutely the only name her father would even consider. They were Irish. I found it weird, but as pop-song names go, it could have been worse.

I think it sounds more like a company name than a person's name, but I did meet an Avalyn this summer... Not really a name I would use.

I don't think it's weird. I wouldn't use it, but it's pretty.

I love it! Unusual, but not weird. And you can call her Ava for short, if you want.

Avalon Juliette
Avalon Cornelia
Avalon Meredith
Avalon Gwen
Avalon Victoria

I kind of like it and I don't think most people would find it weird. I think it fits in pretty well with current name trends. I mean it does start with "Ava" haha :)

I think it's beautiful, but maybe people who have never heard of Avalon would think it was "avalanche"...?

Avalon Suzanne
Avalon Marie
Avalon Skye
Avalon Amelia
Avalon Grace

I think it's very pretty - it's a GP of mine! I might be tempted to use it as a middle name.

---

I'd say it should be paired up with something short and simple...

---

Avalon Rose
Avalon Grace
Avalon Faith
Avalon Hope
Avalon Blythe
Avalon Mae
Avalon Kay
Avalon Faye

I really like this name. The only reason I am wishy-washy about it is its lack of a "real" meaning.

---

Avalon Jade
Avalon Aurora
Avalon Winter

I like Avalon. It happens to be the name that's been on my list for the longest amount of time. I don't think it's all that unusual, considering the crazy names a lot of people make up and then bestow on their children. The only thing I'd be concerned about is people pronouncing it like the name Ava, because it's so popular at the moment.

---

I think it needs a decidedly feminine middle name because Avalon isn't very obviously feminine.

I think it's kind of neat because I love Arthurian names. The problem now though is it's also the name of a car. :/

---

I don't know if people would really think it was a weird name. Have you seen the made-up stuff people are naming their kids these days? :P But a lot of people might think of the car and not know about the mythical place.

---

I'd try pairing it with something elegant. Like:
Avalon Claire (ooh, love this!)
Avalon Eira
Avalon Juliet
Avalon Lydie

I kinda like it. It reminds me of Anne Of Avonlea. I don't see why people would think it's any weirder than anything else. Combos:
Avalon Elizabeth
Avalon Eloise
Avalon Ursel
Avalon Catherine
Avalon Winter
Avalon Quinn (likely too unisex)
Avalon Jane
Avalon Diane

Edited cause I typed Anne of Avalon instead of Anne of Avonlea.
