"Wait! Is banjo a name?????"

I was wondering that too. Didn't like to say anything in case the "no name is weird" lot jumped out :o

PrunellaDeVille · 15/05/2012 17:11

squoosh it is according to MN baby name finder!
although i love it i wouldn't really have used it even if DH hadn't gone Hmm, but it has fallen into usage in the DeVille household in reference to the wee bean

Mungo is hideous and Banjo is NOT a name.

The rest are lovely. Grin

TheHouseOnTheCorner · 15/05/2012 18:07

I'm with Hilly...MUNGO ffs.

MummysLittleSunbeams · 15/05/2012 20:00

I used to know a Mungo through work. V posh, charming, lovely & good looking. All the girls used to love him. That was in the film industry though & you can get away with some terrible names in that line of work.

jammic · 15/05/2012 21:19

Have you looked at some of the italian names lists/websites? Italian male names typically end in an o.

Love Arlo by the way - fab name!

tiredteddy · 15/05/2012 21:27

I love these kind of names too have Cleo and Juno as firm favourites for a girl. Quite like cosmo for a boy too. Great selection.
