Milo?

[whatsinaname2]

How do you feel about the name Milo? After exhausting every baby name book out there this is the only name we agree on, but I'm still unsure. Help!

[LawnFever]

I like it similar to Monty if you’ve considered that?

[Changethetoner]

It's lovely. It was the name of a popular children's tv character (The Tweenies) but that was 20yrs ago. Use it!

[Whyisitsodifficult]

I know quite a few dogs called Milo!

[DeloresMadrigal]

I love it. It was on my list for ds, but dh wasn't keen.

@Whyisitsodifficult

I know quite a few dogs called Milo!

Oh right, nice! Dogs are cool.

[DeloresMadrigal]

Similar suggestion would be Arlo.

I also quite like Monty, but it feels a bit too nicknamey for me, whereas Milo feels like a 'proper' name

[Notthisnotthat]

I am old, so do associate Milo with the Tweenies, but I like it as a name too. It's becoming popular near me.

[northernbutterfly]

If it's the only one you agree on then looks like it'll be Milo!

Not my taste, it's a bit of the moment for me but it's perfectly pleasant

I always think of Milo - the chocolate drink.
I much prefer Monty (Montgomery or Montague))

[Whatdramain2022]

Wasn't it a type of hot chocolate drink? I think my DD was given it in hospital. I like the name though.

[Whyisitsodifficult]

It’s also quite a popular chocolate milk drink made by Nestle!

[DebbieHarrysCheekbones]

Chocolate drink
Tweenie
Dog or cat name

[2toastornot2toast]

Just be aware it's a hotchoc/ malted drink brand in lots of countries like Australia and New Zealand.

Milo is very trendy, but not a bad name. The two syllable name ending in an O is booming in popularity at the moment.

[Luckingfovely]

I love Milo, and have mostly seen it used as a nn for Miles, but also fab on it's own.

[TheBugHouse]

It’s a nice name but I know three dog Milo’s near me ….

[Reallycantbesarsed]

Absolutely love Milo.

[Houseplantmad]

Where I grew up it is a bedtime drink so I couldn't name my child Milo for that reason.

[MandalaYogaTapestry]

A dog's name for me

[Omicrone]

I do quite like it but it is quite 'doggy'.

See also Arlo and Monty which are definitely dogs names!

[ExcuseeeeMe]

My dogs name sorry . Also have met many doggy Milos on our walks .

[LondonQueen]

I like it and a few friends have dogs called Milo! It's not that common for children so he is not likely to have to share his name with any classmates!

[hohohooooo]

If you and DH like it, that's all that matters. It wouldn't be for me because I like traditional names - Matthew, Luke, Alexander etc

[hertsgirls]

I like it. Loads of nice names are popular for dogs. Phoebe, Poppy, Sadie etc. So I wouldn't let that put me off!

It does feel quite trendy at the moment if that bothers you.

[Campervan69]

I love it. Wanted it for ds3 but dh vetoed as his surname is Ball so thought he'd get teased at school 😁
