Arlo?

[ALS17081982]

My husband likes Arlo for a boys name. I think I like it but it’s fairly unusual in comparison to the other names we are considering. What do you think of it? I think it’s a bit of a cartoon character name?!

Just makes me think of Alice's Restaurant by Arlo Guthrie. Ah, the nostalgia.

I was married to an Arlo!

It’s an ancient Saxon name meaning ‘fortified hill’ and was made famous in the seventies by Woodside Guthrie naming his son Arlo.

Woodie not Woodside lol!!!

Arlo Guthrie was born in 1947, hardly the 70s.

Sorry Ellen - meant Arlo Guthrie was famous in the seventies

I like the name but have seen it mentioned in the press etc as being typically 'hipster'. I think it was in a list alongside beards and mason jars. Shame as I would have considered it too!

Arlo is lovely, you might also like Archer.

Love it!
