Alfie or Milo

[rendesr]

Have been stuck for a while now between these two names... Alfie or Milo

I wanted to see his face before I decided but after seeing it I think they both could work!

Thoughts appreciated, comments and other name suggestions also welcomed!

Milo is a well known chocolate drink in many countries.

Alfie is very cutesy, a little too much so go me, sorry.

So neither IMO.

Milo. There are loads of little Alfies. Entered the top ten from nowhere so although Alfred is a good, solid name I think Alfie will date quite badly.

Milo is a Tweenie, and Alfie is a nn.

I'd go for Alfred.

Definitely Milo. It's a full name whereas Alfie is a nickname. Nothing wrong with chocolate drink associations either :)

milo. tweenies aren't that big anymore. million of Alfie

This is Milo: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_(drink). You never know in which country your ds might study, work or travel to one day. Why not choose a name that isn't a well known brand of drink in many countries?

Alfred if you must, but I'm not keen on Alfie at all, I'm afraid.

I prefer Alfred/Alf/Alfie as Milo is just too chocolatey and tweeny-like for me.

I am not keen on either, but at a push Alfred, with Alfie as a nn (but prefer Fred)

Both will date very badly IMO.

Definitely Milo. I hate Alfie and it's overused.

I didn't know Milo was a Tweenie
It is DS2s middle name.
I still love it but glad I didn't use it as his first name.

Milo

Alfie is awful

oh and Alfred is bloody awful

Don't really like either sorry but love to drink Milo

The only Alfie I know is 18. He is also a goth with dyed black hair, piercings and dresses head to toe in black - he most definitely does not suit his name!

Thanks for all the opinions!!!!

We have gone with Alfred and will use the nn Alfie when he is young.. lots of other nn's he can choose himself like Alf, Fred, Alfie or Al.

Where we live it isn't a common name at all, so I have no worries there! thanks again :)

Alfred nn Alfie's great... Much better than Milo anyway

Alfie is my eldest!! Got pics on my profile if you want a nice picture of an Alfie.

Next door but one's dog is Milo!

Jack is my youngest.

I've never come across another Alfie, though I know it is in the top 10.

Nice choice.

Love Harrison, Ryder, Aaron. Still not completely convinced on Jack, but I've never regretted Alfie.
