How popular is it? What would you shorten it to (if anything)? Suggestions for a middle name?

Thanks!

Like it. Was on my list if I had a boy. Would have been Milo Robert

Oh for heavens sake.
my children are well brought up, well mannered.
It´s that that marks them out as not being chavs!

I quite like it and i don't think that O names are over. I think they are very in fashion! I quite like Rio and Theo too.

I like it, but I think O names are Over. (apart from Hugo).

I wanted to call my son Bruno though, so I get where you're coming from. Glad I didn't as four years on, I feel that O names are sliding downwards towards the dreaded c word.

DS2 is Milo so obviously I like it. Don't plan to shorten it at all, that would be difficult anyway!

He has my maiden name as a middle name.

diddl · 21/12/2009 12:41

I really like it.

I have a Milo so obviousy I love it. He doesn't have a middle name, but a 3 syllable traditional one might be good. There are a few other Milos near us (Oxford) but I never met any when we lived up north. Don't think it has made it to the top 100 yet...

He's a Tweenie, and therefore bugs the shit outta me

AvadventCalendar · 21/12/2009 11:22

Always a Tweenie to me, wether you think that's a good or bad thing is up to you!
