Hi
we had been happily planning to call our baby boy Arlo, believing it to be pretty unusual, when suddenly a friend called her baby Arlo & a nursery nurse mentioned it was getting very popular in London. Have any of you met any little Arlo`s? Is it actually quite fashionable?

Thanks for your advice

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I have an Arlo so therefore it is a wonderful name . I don't know of any others but I'm in the not-so-trendy North West.

I suspect it is, in parts of London. It's the new Oscar/Felix/Finn, probably along with Rufus (all great names, BTW, IMO)

Yes, I know two Arlo's under 2, as well as a few Milos.

Have you thought of Ivo or Jago? They're similar but less popular in London.

Yes, I worked on delivery suite in SE until 2 weeks ago and have seen a fair few Arlos.
It seems to be mentioned an awful lot on forums too.

Yes, it's trend central now. I know 3 under 4. I still like it though and that shouldn't put you off using it.

Only Arlo I've heard of is Arlo Guthrie.

Best barometer of baby names imo, are the midwives in the delivery suite at the hospital.
