Just that really. I always loved the name Noah but it seems its quite popular. Now I'm thinking 'Mylo'?

Prefer Milo.

My pony’s name.

Often call him Myles ‘for short’

PsychosonicCindy · 06/12/2019 19:50

Milo is fine prefer Noah though, it's not that popular where I am unlike Casper Jasper Rupert etc..

Jacob
Malachi

A lot could be to do with where you live as well. Different areas often have slightly different popular names. All the Milos I know are DDs age, but I don't know any younger... however no Noah's under 10 in my circle!

thatmustbenigelwiththebrie · 06/12/2019 20:07

Milo is a kind of milkshake isn't it?

Nonnymum · 06/12/2019 20:11

Milo is nice but not Mylo.

Ohyesiam · 06/12/2019 20:11

Milo Is lovely, seems a world apart from Miles somehow?

Leopardprintboots · 07/12/2019 17:05

What are your thoughts now @LochJessMonster

NeedToKnow101 · 07/12/2019 17:12

I love it, but only spelt Milo.

NeedToKnow101 · 07/12/2019 17:13

Jacob is a lovely (not too) biblical name.

Parkermumma07 · 07/12/2019 17:19

I have a Milo and he's brilliant great name, (not biased at all hehe)

BackforGood · 07/12/2019 17:29

I like biblical names (hence Noah) if anyone has any other suggestions.

Adam
Jacob
Samuel
Elijah
Saul
Paul
Simon
Peter
James
John
Matthew
Luke
Daniel
Joseph

I have a DC called Miles. Sometimes shorten it to Miley or Milo

sue51 · 07/12/2019 17:50

Milo is lovely. I've never seen it spelt Mylo.

Phuquocdreams · 07/12/2019 18:08

I do like Caleb!

Thinking maybe go for traditional spelling of Milo then?

Whats peoples thoughts on Kai?

(I blooming hope its a girl though as I have a definite girls name!)

Caleb is a gorgeous name I agree

Milo is also a great choice

Sorry I really don’t like Kai - it’s one of the renowned “K names” MNetters hate as it’s very C word (a phrase I hate too but I can’t think of another descriptive word- “down market” perhaps)? 😬

What’s your girls name out of interest?

Leopardprintboots · 09/12/2019 11:57

Meant to tag you @LochJessMonster

Leopardprintboots Hopefully 'he' will suit either Noah, Caleb or Milo.

I didn't want to say the girls name as I can bare it if MN ruin it!
But its 'Lyla Kay'.
Lyla pronounced Lie-La. And middle name Kay after my amazing Great Grandma.

Noah and Caleb both lovely.

I see Milo as a very common/popular name (more so than Noah) and I'm not sure it suits an adult man? My personal opinion, it just sounds a bit 'cute' to me!

Winkywoop · 09/12/2019 17:42

I know a Kaj - I don't mind it but prefer this spelling to Kai

MadisonMontgomery · 09/12/2019 17:45

It’s a dogs name to be tbh

MadisonMontgomery anything can be a dogs name, my dog’s called Dave Grin aslong as I stay away from Rover, I should be ok.

Thoughts on ‘River’ though?

OP posts:
Leopardprintboots · 09/12/2019 18:19

Absolutely love your selection of names @LochJessMonster

River, Noah, Caleb or Milo are all such brilliant choices you can’t go wrong. I’ve not met a Milo yet in quite a few years at baby groups

Ps. Lyla is a gorgeous name ❤️ Will you find out if it’s a girl or boy or have surprise
