Sibset: Dawn and Colby. It has a pleasing contrast, and not too many syllables.

---

Somehow, Fawn is too delicate for me. I can only think of a baby dear, or a really naive girl.

---

Also, even though they're both nature names, I think it's a better idea to name people after a frame of time, flower or setting than it is to name them after an animal. Especially a baby animal.

Dawn Ramona
Dawn Remington
Dawn Juliet
Dawn Skylar
Dawn Elizabeth (classic)

---

I might prefer it as a middle name:
Amelia Dawn
Cassandra Dawn
Persephone Dawn
Priscilla Dawn
Mora Dawn

If I had to choose between the two, I'd pick Dawn, easily. (Though I'd much prefer Donna.) A fawn is a baby deer, not grown, so in my eyes naming someone Fawn is akin to naming them Kitten or Cub.

---

There are also two unfortunate associations with the name Fawn:

---

1. Animal House. Fawn never appears in the movie, but she is frequently mentioned in one segment as a ceramics student who died in a freak kiln accident.

---

2. Napoleon Dynamite. LaFawnduh. Yes, that's how it's spelled in the movie. No, I cannot shake the association.

---

As for middles, how about...

---

Dawn Everild
Dawn Ariel / Dawn Arielle
Dawn Alessia
Dawn Alyssa
Dawn Elena / Dawn Alaina
Dawn Elodie
Dawn Eloise
Dawn Imelda
Dawn Yvette
Dawn Elektra
Dawn Ursula

---

For some reason, I only like it with middles beginning in a vowel sound.

---

Siblings would be... possibly Andrew, Colin / Collin, Michelle, or Laurel.

I would choose Dawn: I agree with everyone who said it's more usable and thought of 'fawning over', even though Fawn is also a deer which is nice. I love the connotations of dawn - beauty and beginnings, a fresh start. In my accent (British), Dawn and Don sound different, and I much prefer the drawn out 'aw' of Dawn, whereas I don't like Don or the American pronunciation of Dawn. Because of that, as my family are all American, I would never actually use it. But it's a nice name.

Dawn Julia
Dawn Sylvia
Dawn Lydia
Dawn Elizabeth
Dawn Ariadne
Dawn Matilda
Dawn Eloise
Dawn Lucy (dawn light)
Dawn Cassandra
Dawn Virginia
Dawn Anise

---

Dawn, Aurora, Roxana, Alba, Eos, for sisters whose names all mean "dawn".

---

Dawn and Layla - dawn and night

---

Dawn and Orpheus - dawn and the darkness of night

---

Dawn and Sunset?

---

I think I prefer other nature word names:

---

Dawn, Lily, and Jay
Dawn, Willow, and Robin

---

Dawn, it's a little hippieish and dated, but I like it. It's short, sweet and simple.

---

Dawn Christine
Dawn Amelia
Dawn Mirabelle
Dawn Isabel
Dawn Samantha
Dawn Yolanda
Dawn Millicent
Dawn Jacqueline
Dawn Angelina
Dawn Camille
Dawn Rhea

---

Dawn, Malcolm, Cecilia
Dawn, Ray, Tempest

Tricky. I think I'd choose Fawn because Dawn sounds quite dated.

---

Fawn Lavender

---

Kestrel Iolanthe
Blythe Emmanuel

Definitely prefer Dawn, Fawn makes me think of “fawning over.”

Fawn

---

Dawn is so tired, and while Fawn is childish and saccharine, I like F names.

---

Fawn Araminta? Sister to Clement and Nimue.

Fawn is a cute name, maybe cutesy, but this time I choose Dawn - it's more usable than Fawn.

---

Dawn Aster
Dawn Eloise
Dawn Felicity
Dawn Phoebe
Dawn Soleil

---

Sibset: Dawn, Luna, Angel.

Don't like either, Dawn just a little better

Dawn. It’s a name I would consider as a middle name.

---

If I were to use it as a first name, I’d probably pick something with more syllables. Adelaide, Evangeline, Aveline, Emmeline

---

Sibling: Celeste, Stella, Luna, Apollo, Orion, Nova (going for the celestial theme).

Dawn, what better meaning is their to be had than a new day?

---

I'd balance it out with a longer less expected choice. Like Dawn Margalo, Dawn Louisa, Dawn Francesca, Dawn Rowena

---

Sibs: Meadow & Robin? Full hippy set.

Dawn

---

I already like it enough to use it, and Fawn is not very attractive; mainly because 1. I don't like f names in general and 2. its a verb meaning to act all gushy and kiss-ass.

---

Dawn Allison? Dawn Rebecca?

---

Dawn and Andrew?
