[Opinions] Neon
This is the name a favorite singer of mine. Thought it was a stage name until recently when I learned it was her real name! I kinda love it tbh. I submitted it here if anyone else is interested- http://www.behindthename.com/submit/name/neon.It's hippy-ish in the vein of Evening, Fable, Moxie, Jubilee, etc which I also like. Thoughts and opinions? Any combo ideas?
My PNL = http://www.behindthename.com/pnl/37275Top: Henry & Lara (main) and Caspian & Briar (GP)
Bottom: Trajan & Jacoba (main) and Dinadan & Melpomene (GP)

I am very ambivalent about this as a name. I don't trust my initial reaction of liking it.

Never heard of her, and it's not my cup of tea at all, but I checked the UK births out of curiosity, and there have been quite a few Neons born here! Only two girls, though. The other one is Neon Violet, which is kind of migraine-inducing.:)

It's very lame, and not hippie-ish at all.

It's cool, but I wouldn't call it hippie-ish. It's more self-aware, smartass parents than anything.Combos...Neon Jubilee (hey, why not go all out?)
Neon Delilah
Neon Tempest
Neon Olive (ha!)
Neon Lily
Neon Drew

... I kind of love Neon Tempest. And Neon Jubilee. They're out there but they're way super fun! Neon Drew is really cool too.

I wouldn't have expected it on a woman. I think it suits a man better, but preferably as a nickname only. Neon makes me think of the eighties and of in-your-face flashy signs. Not really positive associations like I would have with Fable and Evening. Also, I don't consider it hippy-ish, because most of my associations with neon are of unnatural stuff.

I've never heard of this singer. Who is she? Where is she from?Don't like the name Neon, though.

Neon Hitch. She's a British singer. She doesn't have much out but I love her stuff.https://soundcloud.com/neonhitchGold was on the radio a while back which is how I came across her but she's not had anything wide released since. I love Poisoned With Love, What Starry Eyes Know, Bad Dog, and Some Like It Hot (ft Kinetics) best. She makes fun music :)

I kinda like it, but not for a girl.Neo was pretty common here a few years ago, and Leon is popular now. It's like match between those two.

I think that's part of the reason I like it, cause I love Leon and that 'eon' sound is very pleasant to me. I saw it like a cross between Noah and Leon :) It's one of the few names I like equally for boys and girls tbh I think it's very unisex.
