Jilo - or is that just silly?

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!

My first thought was "what"? and my second "Jello?". My final thought is "silly", but I doubt that will come as a surprise to you.

My first thought was actually Li-lo Lil from Bread (showing my age here)

Gallio sounds a lot better for my money. Jilo sounded completely made up, whereas Gallio sounds little used but historic.

Still silly? Gallio is biblical, FWIW. Smile

Thanks, ladies, seriously - J-Lo hadn't even occurred to me [completely out of touch emoticon]. And I haven't even started on the baby name books yet. Can I have Gallio? Smile

My first thought was J-Lo. As in, Jennifer Lopez.

oh, how did that happen?

MmeLindt · 04/11/2010 16:14

Have some chocolate and step away from the baby name books.

Let Constance choose the name, I am sure that she is very good at it.

Poopsmith excellent name. Shitecrafter better.

Sorry OP, Jilo will not end up well I think.

corygal · 04/11/2010 16:10

You've certainly hit on something.

'Individualising' celeb or brand names could catch on.

I'd customise away for my kids - what about Bumberry or Blench?

YouNeverCanTell · 04/11/2010 16:09

No. Silly.

mathanxiety · 04/11/2010 16:05

I wanted to call all of mine Poopsmith. I think it's the perfect baby name.

ShatnersBassoon · 04/11/2010 12:59

It sounds like the punchline of a Bernard Manning joke.

Faaamily · 04/11/2010 12:56

Ridiculous

duchesse · 04/11/2010 12:54

Silly

LOL at brummie accent

pagwatch · 04/11/2010 12:41

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

Hedwig3 · 04/11/2010 12:37

Sounds like J-Lo with a Brummie accent.

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.
