Straw poll: Do you prefer Elliot or Milo?

[IBlameThePenguins]

Please don't tell me if you hate them both, I would just really like to know which you prefer.

We only have a week left before we have to register our Ds, and for some reason, we just can't name him... We have whittled it down to these two!

Milo.

I think they both sound like nice well mannered little boys :) . These sort of names make me think of children playing with wooden toys and wearing sweet linen sailor suits !! No idea why but you did ask :)

Milo is probably from a professional but slightly culturally unusual family. Maybe they listen to interesting music or spend their holidays digging ditches in Eastern Europe.

Elliott has a brother Lucas and sisters Lily and Ruby. His parents do what everyone else does.

Can you tell which I prefer?

Ha... I quite like that slavetothechild !

horry I think we are.somewhere between those two!

Thanks for everyone's replies... I'm not sure if i'll be brave enough top come back and tell everyone which we went for though!!

Elliott.

And Elliott Milo flows better than Milo Elliott, unless you are having Milo John Elliott or something.

Good point thedoctorofsnatch (brill name btw!)

We have booked our apt with the registrars, so not long 'til D-day!

Milo, definitely.

Or doctrine, even!

We're booked to register him tomorrow... Still undecided. He'll be named after the registrar at this rate!!

Thanks for your input. Wish us luck!

Elliot. Do I get the casting vote?

MILO

Elliot. Love it.

Milo

I have a Milo - it's a really lovely name. DS 2 was going to be Elliot but in the end i went with Caspar so i couldn't choose either If i was to have another DS (no chance) It would probably be Elliot but obviously i chose Milo first.

MILO

Milo milo milo milo!

Just do it ;)

Elliott is more classic, Milo is getting quite popular. I think Milo is more likely to date, too.

Elliot. Lovely name :)

I also quite like Milo but I prefer Miles.

The variable spelling of El(l)iot(t) is a vote against.

Milo I have a milo who is nearly 5 and every time I say his name I still feel all warm and glowey that he's got such a cool name... 1 person has mentioned the tweenies thing and 1 person the drink thing - and that's in 5 years.....

I think Elliot Milo flows better than Milo Elliot.

Miles is better than milo.

I agree.
