Milo and Millie?

Not sure if dc3 is a boy or girl yet but I like Milo and Millie, neither have I met in rl. Are there many near you? What could they be shorted from?

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I know 4 children called Millie, all aged 3 - 5 years old.

I don't know any Millies. I know one Milo, who lives the opposite end of the country from me.

I know of one Milo, he's under 1 year old.

My dog is called Milly. I don't think it is a "dogs name" as a result but things do get confusing when walking through a park. Shoot her name, 4 dogs and 3 under 5's turn around.

I know one of each - not personally a huge fan of either as I find Millie too cutesy and Milo too public school (which I am but don't really want the label, and my kids won't be!). Milo's a full name in itself; Millie/y could be Camilla, Millicent, Mildred, Emily, Amelia, Emilia...

Apologies, totally unnecessary personal opinion which you didn't even ask for! Ignore me!

One Millie and one milo.

Three Millies, including my DD, no Milos. I did know a sibling set called Millie and Miles.

Eastpoint · 03/04/2014 06:29

There are 3 Millies/110 in my dd2s year at school & none in dd1s year. I don't know any Milos (apart from dogs) but I do know a Miles & an Arlo. Arlo's sister is Vita (they are overseas & a long way away so I'm not worried about outing them).

DrankSangriaInThePark · 03/04/2014 06:48

I don't any of either, but I agree with Minty82 about both.

EirikurNoromaour · 03/04/2014 08:30

Milo and Millie together aren't great.

diddl · 03/04/2014 08:40

Well Milo is a stand alone name, isn't it?

And a fab one at that!

Millie could be short for Emily, Amelia, Camilla?

Millicent & Mildred.

My daughter is Millie and will be 22 in July. There were definately no Millie's around when she was born.

pencilsharpener · 04/04/2014 20:52

I know hundreds of Millies. Some christened Millie, some that use Millie as a shortening for Amelia, Emily, Amelie, Mariella, Camilla etc...

I've never met a Milo in RL, apart from a dog! One of the Tweenies is Milo. Milo can be a stand-alone name or a nn for Miles / Myles. We know 3 or 4 boys called Miles/Myles.
