Is Arlo really popular?

[partofyoupoursoutofme]

How many male Arlos do you know, and what part of the country are you in? I have previously thought this was a bit of a try hard name, but it's growing on me!

I know 4, all under the age of 3. South West London.

I'm an infant teacher in the East Midlands and we've never had one in our school - I've been there 20 years!

2 and I live in North West think it's in top 10 names this year.

I know two baby Arlos, in SE

1 just leaving reception in the infant school I work at. South Yorkshire

I know one.

I know 3 - newborn in Cambridgeshire, a toddler in Essex, and a 6yo in Norfolk.

1 two year old, south east. I do think it's getting more popular

I’ve met at least 6 but do work in maternity so meet a lot of babies!

South East btw.

I know one. It's an Albanian name apparently, his dad is Albanian. I love the name. He is 2.5

I don't know any but it was the 42nd most popular boys name in 2017 for England & Wales and has risen massively (in 2014 it was ranked 141) so I would expect it to be more popular in the 2018 stats (due out aug/Sept).

I know one aged 15 , West mids. I dont think it will date, it's hardly a new name. He's named After Arlo Guthrie.

There are lots all clustered in certain areas I think. I know 5 under 5 in SE London. I think it's a name that will link a child to a certain time, as it's quite zeitgeisty, but depends how bothered you are about that

North East-None but keep reading it online. It's a lovely name

Moved to the East of England in February, know of 5 within 30 minutes of my house. My daughter has just finished reception and had 2 in her class. Used to live in South Whales and knew none.

One, a one year old in Leeds.

Not sure of it's popularity but I do know that it's a name for a dog, not a person.

2 babies, 1 dog, all born in 2018 in the South East

There aren't any at my boys' all-boys school and I've never met one or heard of a DC with that name. I think there are a couple of celebs with Arlos, but that's it!

I know one who lives in Belfast, but I am in the home counties.

East London, every second child is called Arlo

I don't know any in the Black Country.

Yes
I’m in NE London. I know of two under three and I hear the name all the time at parks and children centres

I think there’s a lot in London. We moved out of there 8 years ago. I only know one now in my area (S.Bucks) and he’s my 9 year old.

I kind of knew when I named him it was on the up and would become fashionable but I loved the name and didn’t care!
