Milo

I know several pets called Marley and Otis which leaves Milo. But is Milo not a tweenie? Or are the Tweenies too old to matter now?

Milo

Otis. Love it!

I know a lovely girl called Marley and a Labrador called Milo.

Otis 😀

Letthemysterybe · 13/12/2019 16:07

Otis is cute. Milo is ok. Marley is baf

LemonPrism · 13/12/2019 16:05

Marley is a dogs name.

I like Milo

marcopront · 13/12/2019 14:42

I know someone who has used two of those and considered the other one.

Ellmau · 13/12/2019 14:21

Milo, definitely.

TatianaLarina · 13/12/2019 14:11

Milo is more of a classic. Otis and Marley are more faddy.

YetAnotherSpartacus · 13/12/2019 14:00

Wasn’t Milo and Otis a film about a cat and dog? And Marley was the dog in Marley and Me.

sometimesalways · 13/12/2019 13:57

Marlow?

Winkywoop · 13/12/2019 13:56

Also, how about Curtis?

Aquilla · 13/12/2019 13:55

I was scrolling down and thought this was a new puppy thread. And I say this as an aunty to a Milo.

northernknickers · 13/12/2019 13:55

I saw the title of the thread in the 'Active' feed before I read that it was in 'Baby Names'...and honestly? I thought the thread was going to be about a new puppy 🤷‍♀️. It was only when I clicked on it to comment that I saw it was a baby name thread..😳

So with that in mind...neither. They all remind me of dog names (because I know so many Marley and Milo dogs...loads!!). Never met an Otis but still...sounds like a puppy name to me 🤦‍♀️. Sorry.

Winkywoop · 13/12/2019 13:48

Otis ! Great name.

Milo is too popular and I think doesn't suit a grown man.

I don't like Marley- sounds like a surname to me

lovelyjubilly · 13/12/2019 13:47

Not Marley. The other two are fab though.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/12/2019 13:45

Otis

Lavenderblues · 13/12/2019 13:38

Milo is a chocolate drink.

I like Marley and Otis.

Peachbubble · 13/12/2019 13:27

I choose Milo, with Otis in second. Not a fan of Marley.

Mumma4262 · 13/12/2019 13:10

I love Marley and Milo. It’s not very popular on MN.

I wouldn’t choose them for my kids but I do genuinely love those names. We called our cat Marley as we didn’t use it.

I think defo go for one of those. Not keen on Otis. Congrats!
