I love this name, probably because it comes with NO connotations. I don't know anyone called Arlo apart from Arlo Guthrie.

However, I know it has shot up in popularity recently and friends of mine who already have kids casually tell me they know 4 or 5 Arlos. I don't want to give DS a faddy name, so I'm trying to guage how popular it really is.

So - as in the title: how many kids do you know called Arlo and what are they like?

(second bonus question: what do you imagine Arlo to be like?)

I don't know anyone called Arlo.

In some parts of the country, people would probably assume it was "Harlow" and that you were in the habit of dropping your aitches. There are lots of young lads in this neck of the woods called "'arvey".
