This is our newborn sons name. And yes, we already have problems with people mispronouncing it, saying it as a female name. It is very annoying. Had thought about changing the'spelling, but his name is Elisha, not Elijah. And we do tend to call him Eli, even sometimes E.J. as his middle name is John.

I named our son Talon Nicholas. Pronounced as as the American Eagle's powerful 'weapon'. Our National bird! His name draws great reviews. My intent was a cool name that would garner other's attention, their focus. When in school, he's the only Talon and hoping that when he interviews for a career, and in the workplace, that he will stand out. I love his name more and more

I named my son Talan because I have liked the name for years. I get funny stares from strangers who have never heard it before! its amazing how rude people can be. But most agree to liking it as I always will, so it doesnt really matter. The only thing i admit to not liking is people asking me if it is Talon like the eagle claw...thats why I'm glad we at least chose a different spelling. In my opinion a talon is a claw that is sharp. My boy Talan is sharp and intelligent too!

I am naming my son Talon Orion who will be due anyday now. His due date is Aug 2 2021. So far he is the most active one I have. I have had 3 biological children and raising three other children. So Talon is going to have six siblings. He is the lucky number 7! I don't know anyone named Talon but one of my daughters is friends with a boy named Orion. The kids also picked the name Talon too and also no one else in our family has a T name. I love ununsual names especially when I am at the park and call my kids names. I won't get a whole slew of kids and parents looking at me.

My son is named Talon Christian Blaze. He was born in 2014. I actually heard it on "A baby'story" episode. I approached my husband with it because he wanted something "tough" but not overtly tough. We used Christian in case he would rather default to a more common name when he is older. In the'south, people did want to call him Taylon. And other people try to go for something more familiar and think they hear Allen. he'seems to like his name, and people know who he is at school, including the older kids!

My 12 year son's name is Talon and It's a great name. I dont have to put his last name on anything for school since he's the only one :-) His father and I are die hard Philadelphia Eagles fans and that's how we came up with the name. Also, he goes to Catholic school (K-8) and ever'since he was little, he always got the attention of the 'older' kids "Your name is SO cool!" - he hears that all the time (and loves it too - especially from the girls...haha). he's super unique too and a trend setter without a doubt.. I always wonder how much of that has to do with having a unique name!

When people, usually other moms, ask how I got the name, I tell them this story. The response is always the "oh, how sweet". Talon didn't like his name when he was younger, but now he loves it.
