Re: Dawn vs. Fawn
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
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
