Danny

Oh, and of course, if you ARE called Danny or Milo - do you like it? Or if not, which one would you prefer?

Milo.

But, really, I think I'd prefer to be a Miles or a Daniel.

I went to school with a Milo and he was forever being teased for being a cat, people would go up to him a miaow in his face. Never understood why but I think there may have been a famous cat on the TV called Milo at the time.

Stick to Daniel and he can be Danny or Dan when he gets to be a teenager if he wants

danny... milo reminds me of a malty drink

Daniel or Dan. Though Danny is slightly better than Milo.

DP is Daniel, hates Danny doesn't mind Dan.

I know 3 dogs (all JRT) called Milo

Milo.

pictish · 26/04/2012 09:50

Ds2 was nearly Milo. It had always been on the list for a second boy.
However, dh thought of a name out of the blue we had never considered before, and we both knew it was 'the one'.
Still love Milo though.

Danny

ThePathanKhansWitch · 26/04/2012 09:52

I've never met a Milo, but i do really like it.

However every Danny/ Daniel i've met have been really charismatic men.

NoVeggiesBeforeEggies · 26/04/2012 09:56

I like both.

Like Milo more I think. Though I really like the look of it spelt Mylo.

HSMM · 26/04/2012 10:02

Danny

YouFloatLikeAFeather · 26/04/2012 10:03

Don't like Danny - sounds like a bit of a wide boy/charmer.

Dan is nice though.

Not sure about Milo - I do like it but not sure I would want to be a boy with that name, if that makes any sense at all. Miles is very nice.

huptwothree · 26/04/2012 10:07

God, neither.

huptwothree · 26/04/2012 10:08

Yes Daniel or Dan acceptable. Danny awful (Danny Kaye, Danny La Rue, Danny Zuko)

supernannyisace · 26/04/2012 10:09

Out of the two - Danny.

Milo - ?? I don't think so, but as above Miles is quite nice.

Depends on surname too though.

AWomanCalledHorse · 26/04/2012 10:12

I don't like Daniel/Dan/Danny. All Daniels I know are always called Dan...

I like Milo (phantom tollbooth), but there is nothing to nn if he hates it. Like Stellan, I like Miles more.

seeker · 26/04/2012 10:12

I think it's like to be called Daniel. Then I could choose to be Danny or Dan or the long name.

I think I would choose to be Dan, but Daniel whenni was a hot shot lawyer.

TeWiDoesTheHulaInHawaii · 26/04/2012 10:20

I used to live with a Daniel and a Milo, oddly enough.

Milo was a knob, I'm still friends with Dan... so Daniel!

welovesausagedogs · 26/04/2012 11:58

Milo

birdofthenorth · 26/04/2012 12:16

Milo. Daniel/ Danny/ Dan is fine but a bit dull, sorry
