Whenever I hear the name
Dawn for some reason I get the impression of a woman or little girl who lives in a trailer park in a not-so-rich section of a USA town. It does seem rather dated and I don't know why. It has in some way a hippy sound to it perhaps because of it's nature quality.
But I think it could have a recovery because I know a couple who recently named their daughter
Ivy Dawn and thought is was such a pretty combo, and I don't really like either name in general! :)
