I am in love with the name Arlo but is it unisex?

Boys name for me. Harlow sounds better for a girl in my opinion. Like it.

I've only seen it as a boy's name.

I only know boys. You could start a trend though.

I've only seen one girl called it and she's so gorgeous, I just feel like its more of a boys name but am unsure if it could possibly be a unisex name like Taylor or Austin

Nooooooo. See here why not.

Arlo is a boy's name.

Arlo or Harlow - no to both from me. Harlow ('r-low' it's called by the locals) is a horrible place in Essex just off the M11. You wouldn't want to associate your child with it!

If you would call a boy Rose, then call a girl Arlo.

I know two boy Arlos. Both scrumptious curly haired bundles of gorgeousness, but girls they are not.

Definitely for a boy imo.

For girls, Orla is similar - same letters, only marginally swapped around Wink
