Milo & Arlo

[milosmummy16]

Hi! I have a son called Milo and due another boy in November. I absolutely love the name Arlo and feel this is the name for my baby, however I am aware it's quite similar to Milo. What's your opinion?!?!? I know in my heart I would be so upset if i didnt use this name, but just want others opinions! Thanks

I wouldn't use arlo If you like something a bit 'different' it's a lovely name but a hell of a lot of arlos around now

They're fine together.
How about Milo and Jago, or Milo and Bruno ?

I like both names but I wouldn't use them together personally.

However, I am a big fan of doing what you want to do and not caring whether a stranger on the internet can imagine you calling their names in the supermarket or not.

Milo and Flynn
Milo and Rory
Milo and Archer

I think they sound silly together.

I think it's fine to have both

Sounds like hipster bingo

I know a little boy called Arlen. Very similar to Arlo but with a different sound at the end that could work better with Milo.

I like them together! And know a couple with a Milo and Arlo, so you're not alone at all!
As an alternative, Otis sprang to mind - Milo and Otis?

happykoala Milo and Otis is the name of a film about a cat and a dog!

happykoala27 i am really surprised to hear you know someone with both those names!! It has made me feel much better about using them together ☺

myneighboursnorelax i quite like the name Arlen now you have mentioned it!

happykoala my mum really likes the name Otis and has mentioned it to me, but I'm not too sure on it, think it could grow on me tho so will add to my list xx

They sound a tiny bit 'try hard' when put together. How about Milo and Jasper or Milo and Archie

Love Milo and Arlo - they sound great. Love Otis too. Jonah? Zak? Otto?

Seems like quite a few of you also like Otis, i have never met anyone with that name but think it could grow on me! Thanks working925 another person who likes the combination 👍 xx

Otis is nice.

Milo and Arlo but a bit matchy but it doesn't matter all that much.. you sign their names together in Christmas cards and whatever while they're children but they don't spend their lives as a pair.

howthelightgetsin yes exactly what i was thinking! They are both individuals, and once they are older will have separate lives so I completely agree xx

I think Milo and Arlo sound fine together. I was also about to point out that they'll spend the majority of their lives as independent adults rather than a sibling pair.

Arlo is a bit too popular these days. It'll date.

Milo and Otis is the name of a film about a cat and a dog!

This! Don't use Milo and Otis together 😂

Choccyhobnob Maybe that film is in the back of my head somewhere, so I put the names together!!
FWIW I still like Otis, though!

No, I'd use Arlo as a middle name though in your situation, if you really love it!

Milo X and Y Arlo.

You pick the names you want OP, sod anyone else (unless it was a really ridiculously weird name) It sounds like you love it and would regret not using it. We have an Alfie and Charlie!

Thats decided then!!! The more I see the names written together I think it sounds fine, and it's making me love the name even more keep seeing it! Thanks everyone for all the posts 😁
