Which do you prefer ? The middle name will be James.

I think that I'm leaning towards Matthew James at the moment. We are also considering Oliver as another middle name , as I think Matthew James Oliver has a nice ring to it.

Order of preference

  1. Mylo
  2. Hugo
  3. Matthew

Definitely Matthew

Cookit · 20/05/2019 10:21

I would like them all if Milo rather than Mylo.

Wallabyone · 20/05/2019 10:54

I really like Matthew.

CallMeRachel · 20/05/2019 11:01

I love Matthew- this would have been my choice had I had a second ds.

Milo and Hugo are a bit...well animal/pet/cutesy for my taste.

dalmatianmad · 20/05/2019 11:04

Mathew is lovely

Hugo is ok

Tons of naughty Mylo's where I live, not a fan.

Matthew Wink

Matthew; it's is a lovely, underused name, I think. I'm in Surrey and there seem to be quite a few little Milos if that bothers you.

piglet81 · 20/05/2019 13:47

I have a Matthew so obviously that gets my vote Wink It's surprisingly uncommon these days.

Milo is trendy (ditto Arlo, Leo etc) and I think Mylo is setting the child up for a lifetime of 'with a Y'. Hugo is quite Sloaney to me.

Disfordarkchocolate · 20/05/2019 13:52

Matthew James is wonderful name. A name that can take you anywhere. If you're a nickname person plenty of options there too.

TaxiGood · 20/05/2019 13:54

Milo but definitely with an “i” not a “y”!

Matthew

It's a good, solid, classic name that won't date or be mis-spelt.

And I have one Grin
