Right ladies give it to me straight. What's wrong with Arlo?
(Before I fall in love with the name!)

I know 3 Arlo's born this year and 1 who is 7!
DS9 and DS7 both have quite common names ... Dd6 doesn't! We've only ever met 1 more but by the sounds of it ... It's becoming more common... I hear it on here lots!

Will date terribly.

If you're looking for problems... yes it's trendy as previous posters have said. Also if you live in an area where the letter H is dropped it sort of sounds like Harlow (Essex).

That said, I think it's a perfectly OK name. Every name has potential pitfalls.

I don't like it. It's the epitome of trendy and will date awfully. And unless your baby is going to be born wearing flannel, with a moustache and drinking a piccolo latte, it doesn't work.

I know two Arlos born in the last 12 months. Both to parents who consider themselves hipsters.

Trendy. It will date your baby as being born around now.

Up to you whether you think that's an issue.

It's very trendy and a bit of a celeb baby name.

BikeRunSki · 07/07/2017 07:29

I like it.

UserThenLotsOfNumbers · 07/07/2017 07:26

I like it.

Nothing. I love the name.
