Just that really. I always loved the name Noah but it seems its quite popular. Now I'm thinking 'Mylo'?

I know a lot of dogs called Milo

DramaAlpaca · 06/12/2019 17:39

Milo or Myles/Miles. Not Mylo.

TatianaLarina · 06/12/2019 17:35

I like it pronounced I but not EE.

Mylo/Milo/Miles are all just gorgeous names I really love it- one of my absolute favourites

love Noah too though @LochJessMonster - do you have any others on your shortlist?

ByAppointmentTo · 06/12/2019 16:33

I like both names. I know three Milos but only one Noah.

Spelling it with a Y makes me think of medical terminology, for some reason. Eg myelopathy, myeloma.... I know its not spelled the same but that's where my brain went when I saw "mylo".

Milo isn't to my personal taste, but is the better of the two imo.

Milo - yes
Mylo - no. Not least because autocorrect changes it to nylon.

I think it's lovely!!

We have a Myles in the family.

Pronounced Milo, just saw the spelling Mylo somewhere and thought it was nice.
But I guess I don't want him to have to constantly correct the spelling of his name.

Boys names are hard, I have such a long list of girls name but was set on Noah for years until it became so common.

Noah is crazy popular round my way - agree Milo is nicer (not with a y though)

LarkDescending · 06/12/2019 15:13

I prefer Milo, and like it better than the ubiquitous Noah.

Personally I am reminded of the malty milk drink of my (overseas) childhood, but that needn't bother you!

Is Mile-o or Meelo? Isn't it spelt Milo?

NoSauce · 06/12/2019 15:08

Why not Milo?
