It's awful, but it is Milo.

I like it and have considered using it myself but am a bit worried it sounds like a dogs name so unsure?? I'd spell it Milo.

Bugger. The Tweenie hadn't even crossed my mind.

I'd spell it Milo, though, I'm not keen on it TBH.

What's wrong with Miles (nn Milo if needs be)?

I like it but wouldn't use it as it reminds me of tweenies and my brother had a hamster named Milo .

Milo off the Tweenies always reminds me of someone I used to work with. Isn't that odd?

If I was told that it was someone's name I'd spell it Milo.

Personally I prefer Miles as a name.

Don't mind it as Milo, Mylo is a travesty against spelling.

One of my guinea-pigs is called Milo - the other one is Max (can you tell my lo's liked the Tweenies???!!!)

Milo makes me think Tweenies straight away. However I do have a Jake myself so I cant really criticise!

I do think Miles is a good idea, and then nickname Milo.

I like it and wouldnt necessarily think "tweenies"
Would spell it Milo.

Mylo is just plain wrong.

I do think of the Tweenies though. Miles is better.

I love it!! It is on my list, but I would never dare to use it in case he was subjected to years of Tweenie based teasing.

I like Milo, but it does remind me of a Tweenie.

My nephew is Milo - I think it's lovely. He's never been subjected to tweenie-based teasing and he is 5 so you might expect it.
