Milo, Rilo or Arlo?

Hello!

My husband and I are having such a hard time finding a boy's name! For girls, we love names ending -a (Maya, Layla etc) and the ones we seem to like for boys end in -o.

We love Milo and Arlo, which I know are both pretty popular at the moment. We're also tempted by Rilo, as it's not unlike 'Riley' and reminds us of a band that is very special to us (called Rilo Kiley). However, we're a bit worried that it sounds too 'made up?'

What would you choose out of these three? And are there any other names like these that you've heard?

Thanks so much!

Rilo I've never even heard of before if I'm honestGrin Arlo is the best

What about Rio

Rilo does sound made up I'm afraid! Like you, Arlo is the top of our list, OH won't accept anything else, but I'm put off by its popularity! xx

Rilo isn't a name, I like the other 2 though

Rolo? Polo?

Rilo definitely sounds made up. lol.
Arlo is a bit too posh for me, so by default out of your choices I would pick Milo.
