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!

My brother is a Jake Arlo and 29 this year and my son is Alfie Arlo (his father wouldn’t let me have Arlo for a first name) and he’s almost 9. We’ve never come across any other Arlo’s ever and he’s been to multiple primary schools due to moves cross counties. (South Wales btw)

South England I know of 3 from 14yrs downwards
North West I know of 1

I wouldn't say it was that common

North west, my nephew is one, oh and the cat in bing!

Very popular in this bit of London - the eldest I know are teenagers.

Never met one, I’m in Yorkshire.

MummyMcCracken · 30/07/2019 17:15

Never met one; not one at my sons nursery either

Bubblysqueak · 30/07/2019 17:59

South west and I know 3.

3 toddlers, 1 cat, 1 puppy. North London.

I know about 3. Last one was born last week . I also know a dog called Arlo which is a shame as now I just think of it as a dogs name!

Not meaning to offend but this is an awful name, maybe not so much of an issue if you’re not in the south but it sounds so much like the town Harlow as the h sound is often dropped when spoken about in a London or Essex accent.....

I always think of “the good dinosaur” film, totally cute film. But that is immediately what springs to mind. I also know one, he’s 3
