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 bottom lip is trembling here .. Grin I didn't think it was that bad, a bit like Milo only not a warming bedtime drink. Thanks for the offer, Constance, I'll bear it in mind - from past experience, panic sets in when the nameless child is about two weeks old Smile

Silly. Or even, Silo.

Very silly.

Jilo - Brazilian vegetable... Oh that has so cheered me up.

Are you just throwing random letters together?

Dreadful - sorry. Have you, erm, got someone else handy to choose the actual name, when the baby arrives? Would you like one of us to come round and help you? Grin

You could combine the two and name him Marzilo.

Its pronounced like Giro - with a L! Gilo Cardozo was the guy who went to Everest with Bear Grylls, IIRC. Gilo is a place near/in Jerusalem - Jilo is a Brazillian vegetable (just done some googling). D'you think it might be the hormones speaking? I did recently have a passing thought that Marzipan was a nice girls name ...

It is seriously silly.Smile

Is it pronounced 'Jy-lo' or 'Jee-lo'? Think you might get responses saying it's too much like J-lo.

Sounds like a made up name, how is it pronounced?

mountainmonkey · 03/11/2010 20:01

Reminds me of J-Lo!

yama · 03/11/2010 20:01

First thought was 'Giro'.
