- Personal experiences with the name Dawn: | Edit
I knew lots of Dawns growing up in the UK- born in the early 60's.
Seems like they are all named Dawn Marie, definately the 60's.I love my name, Dawn Lea, and was just mine until I was 24, in 1970 in Portland (I was from the mid-west). Then it was strange to hear my name said when it wasn't refering to me. Of coarse, Don, Tom, John and Lon confused me often. If someone said our names, Don, Lynn and Kim--another would think that I was the boy and Lynn and Kim were girls. That would confuse some people when they met us.!! lol
