Thanks everyone. Sadly I don't think we can go with August / Gus as Gus reeeallly clashes / sounds weird with our last name.

Ivo Smile fab name!

squirrelnutkins1 · 25/08/2021 13:15

August

Yutes · 25/08/2021 11:05

August and Nico

I like Artie. It's cute. The others ending in 'o'ndon't really sound right with Milo & Newton would lay him open to a ton of nicknames.

Branleuse · 25/08/2021 09:58

Nico

JedEye · 25/08/2021 09:58

Agree Milo and Newton
or Milo and Gus

OttilieStonelady · 25/08/2021 09:58

I know a kid called Ira however there's been a lot of talk re 'why would you use IRA as a name?!' and I do kindof agree. Every time someone has to write it out they'll think IRA.

Newton is a surname, it would probably get shortened to Newt. I wouldn't want to be a Newt.

user1493494961 · 25/08/2021 09:53

Artie, Nico or Ivo.

OhGingleBells · 25/08/2021 09:43

Newton is good name - uncommon but not unfamiliar!

Prefer Augustus to August and given Princess Eugenie’s baby I’d probably try and keep it slightly different. Nice name though.

ShowOfHands · 25/08/2021 09:15

I like Nico and Ivo but not with Milo.

Artie is okay but I know approximately 769 under 5.

August is absolutely lovely. Gus is such a fab nickname.

LadyGAgain · 25/08/2021 07:34

Artie is a girls name in Indian culture

Willow5643 · 25/08/2021 07:26

August and Newton are awesome! Also really like Nico, but possibly a bit too similar to Milo.

Positivelyrandom · 25/08/2021 07:20

August and Newton.
Milo and August sounds great to me.
Milo and Newton also sounds good.

I love Ivo! :)

DominicRaabsTravelAgent · 25/08/2021 07:01

I really like August.

Balonzette · 25/08/2021 06:56

Ivo

Elspethelf · 25/08/2021 06:31

August (Gus) is my favorite!

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 25/08/2021 05:59

Nico is alright but maybe a bit too similar to Milo.

I like Augustus but dislike August. Either way I’d shorten to Gus.

LouLikesLollies · 25/08/2021 05:25

Nico is ok but not keen on the rest.

OhYeahyeahyeah · 25/08/2021 00:23

Love August Smile

Orangestarfish · 24/08/2021 23:54

Nico is ok. I really don't like the others, sorry.

Palavah · 24/08/2021 23:54

Ivo but i don't think it works with Milo. What about Ivor or Ivan?
