Jilo - or is that just silly?

[Ishouldhavechosenagoldfish]

I like the sound of Jilo for a boy, wondering what everyone else might think? 'Gilo' is a name, but I want to avoid the G initial. Opinions please, and why!

[WetAugust]

Silly

[yama]

First thought was 'Giro'.

[mountainmonkey]

Reminds me of J-Lo!

[MrToad]

Sounds like a made up name, how is it pronounced?

[Tidey]

Is it pronounced 'Jy-lo' or 'Jee-lo'? Think you might get responses saying it's too much like J-lo.

[flaine]

It is seriously silly.

[Ishouldhavechosenagoldfish]

Its pronounced like Giro - with a L! Gilo Cardozo was the guy who went to Everest with Bear Grylls, IIRC. Gilo is a place near/in Jerusalem - Jilo is a Brazillian vegetable (just done some googling). D'you think it might be the hormones speaking? I did recently have a passing thought that Marzipan was a nice girls name ...

[Tidey]

You could combine the two and name him Marzilo.

very very silly

[Constance39]

Dreadful - sorry. Have you, erm, got someone else handy to choose the actual name, when the baby arrives? Would you like one of us to come round and help you?

[Pancakeflipper]

Jilo - Brazilian vegetable... Oh that has so cheered me up.

Are you just throwing random letters together?

[BangingNoise]

Very silly.

[ZacharyQuack]

Silly. Or even, Silo.

[Pancakeflipper]

Bilo is lovely.. Bit like Bile

[SecretNutellaFix]

please don't.

[Ishouldhavechosenagoldfish]

My bottom lip is trembling here .. I didn't think it was that bad, a bit like Milo only not a warming bedtime drink. Thanks for the offer, Constance, I'll bear it in mind - from past experience, panic sets in when the nameless child is about two weeks old

PMSL

so, so sorry OP

you know you have made my evening, don't you.

[itisntreallyme]

Nice name for a goldfish

[mathanxiety]

There's a hilarious (to teenage boys anyway) online cartoon that DS used to watch a lot of when he was about 13, called Homestar Runner; Homestar's right on girlfriend is called Marzipan. Some other characters are StrongSad, StrongMad, StrongBad, Coach Z, and The Poopsmith.

[PadmeHum]

Silly

[Ishouldhavechosenagoldfish]

So, Poopsmith?

[Hedwig3]

Sounds like J-Lo with a Brummie accent.

[pagwatch]

I like it but in a bad way.
If J-Lo ever puts her name to a brand of jelly.....or a vibrator

[pagwatch]

LOL at brummie accent

[duchesse]

Silly
