Arlo?

[BreeVanDerTramp]

Due DC3 in June, have two boys - Oliver and Toby. I like Arlo but there are none at all in our area, Oliver and Toby (particularly Toby) are still considered quite unusual where we live so not sure if Arlo would be a bit much?

Any suggestions would be a great help, will not be finding out gender and although we have no girls names in mind at all I don't think we will struggle to find one we like nearer the time.

I love Arlo! It's goes really well with your other ds's names.

My DS is Arlo.

I Adore it.

We live in an area where it is unheard of,
Most people love it...some,notsomuch...but who cares.
I smile everyday when I get to say his name.

Go for it!

Butdonttell anyone else,we don't want it getting too popular

It sounds sweet but I wouldn't use it as live by a town of a similar name which sounds like it when you drop the H, which most people do

I really like it :)

There are 4 Arlos in our local Primary - strange as names Im always being told are far too popular (Poppy, Chloe etc) have only 1 of each.

Love it though.

Yep I like it

I love it & there aren't any around here!

My DS is Arlo ! Natasha Kaplinksky copied me the witch ! ( she didn't really as I don't know her but my Arlo was born first !)

Also for a girl I love Codie (one of the Arlo's sister)

Yes please don't tell anyone else and can we quickly get the thread deleted

It's very middle class...

I like Arlo

For girls:
Corinna
Meredith
Rhiannon
Tamsin
Meryl

Arlo is a great name so go for it. We have an Arlo and are trying to decide on a name for our DS due in a couple of months. Strangely Oliver and Toby are on our list!

Thanks everyone it is top of our list and think it goes well with our other DS's names also fine with it being a bit middle class, coz we is, innit

love Arlo we were going to use it for ds3 and then two weeks before i had him another mum at my toddler group had a boy and named him Arlo, grr, anyway we used it for ds4, he is Rudi Arlo :)

I know two under the age of 1! Very strange as it seems unusual, but I think this year it's going to be very popular!
Think Johnny Knoxville named his little girl Arlo...

Love Arlo.

Bree: where on earth do you live where Oliver is considered unusual?

Too I live in Fife, Scotland have just moved here there seems to be lots of Jacks and Alexanders but no Oliver's! There were 3 Olivers in his old nursery class before we moved so quite shocked here!

I know a family with a Oliver, Toby, Max and Scarlett - just to give you ideas !!
