Jilo - or is that just silly?

[Ishouldhavechosenagoldfish]

I like the sound of Jilo for a boy, wondering what everyone else might think? 'Gilo' is a name, but I want to avoid the G initial. Opinions please, and why!

Silly

First thought was 'Giro'.

Reminds me of J-Lo!

Sounds like a made up name, how is it pronounced?

Is it pronounced 'Jy-lo' or 'Jee-lo'? Think you might get responses saying it's too much like J-lo.

It is seriously silly.

Its pronounced like Giro - with a L! Gilo Cardozo was the guy who went to Everest with Bear Grylls, IIRC. Gilo is a place near/in Jerusalem - Jilo is a Brazillian vegetable (just done some googling). D'you think it might be the hormones speaking? I did recently have a passing thought that Marzipan was a nice girls name ...

You could combine the two and name him Marzilo.

very very silly

Dreadful - sorry. Have you, erm, got someone else handy to choose the actual name, when the baby arrives? Would you like one of us to come round and help you?

Jilo - Brazilian vegetable... Oh that has so cheered me up.

Are you just throwing random letters together?

Very silly.

Silly. Or even, Silo.

Bilo is lovely.. Bit like Bile

please don't.

My bottom lip is trembling here .. I didn't think it was that bad, a bit like Milo only not a warming bedtime drink. Thanks for the offer, Constance, I'll bear it in mind - from past experience, panic sets in when the nameless child is about two weeks old

PMSL

so, so sorry OP

you know you have made my evening, don't you.

Nice name for a goldfish

There's a hilarious (to teenage boys anyway) online cartoon that DS used to watch a lot of when he was about 13, called Homestar Runner; Homestar's right on girlfriend is called Marzipan. Some other characters are StrongSad, StrongMad, StrongBad, Coach Z, and The Poopsmith.

Silly

So, Poopsmith?

Sounds like J-Lo with a Brummie accent.

I like it but in a bad way.
If J-Lo ever puts her name to a brand of jelly.....or a vibrator

LOL at brummie accent

Silly
