Rough and rugged, Talon is often associated with birds of prey, though more generally, it refers to any large claw, whether that's physical, metaphorical, or fantastical. The name has appeared in the video games League of Legends and The Legend of Zelda, in DC Comics' Teen Titans, in the Star Wars franchise (twice), and in the movies Transformers and Ratatouille.
 
Despite (or perhaps because of) its somewhat menacing image, this name has been widely used in recent years, though it did have its peak in the US back in 2005. With its trendy -on ending, the familiar al sound in the middle, and the animal-related meaning, Talon was nevertheless still given to more than 210 American babies in a recent count. 
 
Actress Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and her husband Elan Ruspoli named their son Talon in 2025, brother to Lenix and Rise.
