Do you like it?

If you do, how would you spell it?

Who digs out these old posts? Milo/ Mylo will be starting school in September looking at the date this was posted!

Like Milo, not Mylo. How about Miles with Milo as a nn?

Milo is a great name.

Can't see anything wrong with the associations either. Chocolate? Fine. Tweenie? Don't watch it, but if you ruled out all TV character names you'd be rejecting quite a few.

My ds is Milo & he's 2 so hardly likely to be of a tweenies generation unless they have a resurgence. Obviously we love it & it suits our boy!

I think every name has its negatives or something that you can be teased for so I don't really care what others say. My dog has a common boys name doesn't make it a bad thing!

I have a cat called Milo.

I like Milo but it is the name of one of Boris Johnson's sons.

My 12 yr old ds is called mylo. Has never had any tweenies related issues. Seems happy with the name , gets called mylee or smiley miley sometimes.

FairLadyRantALot · 27/01/2009 22:36

To me it's a Jack Russel Terrier name.....however....I do kinda like Milo...but Mylo....nah

noonki · 27/01/2009 21:07

sorry it is horrible.

annasmami · 27/01/2009 12:08

I'm in the Uk, EachPeach, but the Milo I know is from Germany, where it is pronounced Meelo.

SalLikesCoffee · 26/01/2009 22:40

Milo Sorry, will always make me think of this!

ChasingSquirrels · 26/01/2009 22:36

milo is a drinks range, mylo is just wrong.

EachPeachPearMum · 26/01/2009 22:35

annasmami are you in UK or Europe?

annasmami · 26/01/2009 21:16

I know a Milo pronounced Mee-lo (as in Kilo) too...

Tillyscoutsmum · 26/01/2009 20:48

Next door's cat is Milo (definitely how I'd spell it btw). MIL loves the name and kept putting it forward as an option when I was pg

I don't dislike it but do think of it as a pet/tweenie name

EachPeachPearMum · 26/01/2009 20:46

I like Milo, pronounced as Meelo....
I do know a baby Mylo though.....was at the spelling- actually hadn't realised he was spelled that way until I saw it in The Times

mysterymoniker · 26/01/2009 18:54

my cat is called Milo, I love it

plantsitter · 26/01/2009 18:50

My nephew is Milo - I think it's lovely. He's never been subjected to tweenie-based teasing and he is 5 so you might expect it.

Blu · 26/01/2009 18:47

I like Milo.

Frasersmum123 · 26/01/2009 18:45

Its pronounced Mylo

annasmami · 26/01/2009 17:52

Is Milo pronounced as Kilo?

Or is it pronounced Mylo?

I like Milo, but it does remind me of a Tweenie.

suwoo · 26/01/2009 16:49

I love it!! It is on my list, but I would never dare to use it in case he was subjected to years of Tweenie based teasing.

SoupDragon · 26/01/2009 16:45

Mylo is just plain wrong.

I do think of the Tweenies though. Miles is better.
