Just that really.

I think I like it for a baby or young child but not sure its OK for a grown man?

Just wondered what people thought

Sounds fine to me.

I think Milo, I think chocolate milk

Well he once tried to fix a clock for Max but i think he made it worse.

(I think it's lovely for a little boy or a grown man)

I would know more older man ie 70+ Milos than little boy ones Smile I always think of it as a granda name but I think that's just regional.

I like it a lot.

Nice name.

MummyBurrows · 16/04/2013 15:42

IMO Milo sounds like a dogs name,sorry...

But if I picture a little boy in my mind then I have to admit it would be lovely name and suit well :) But if I picture a fully grown man in his 30s-40s with that name? Not so much,don't think I'd take him seriously or trust him if he was a lawyer or trying to sell me a car for example...don't know why,think its probably because I associate the name with dogs...I'd trust him if he was a vet called Milo though....that's probably not much help but that's my honest opinion xx

Could always change to Miles when older, but I think it's fine!

I just think of the tweenies but there will be quite a few adult Milo's around in 20 yrs time so I doubt it will be much of a problem!

awesome name - DP's DB is called Milo, I think its a fab name - do it

Dish8 · 17/04/2013 14:22

I love Milo - that was on my list for baby number 1.

CharlieBoo · 17/04/2013 18:40

I also think of the Tweenies... Sorry

It worked well enough for the adult Milos of the ancient world. Milo of Croton was an Olympic boxer from southern Italy. Titus Annius Milo was a Roman politician/gang leader.

the 22 year old Milo I know seems fine.
