Hi,

Can you please give your opinion. And preference on the following names for a boy.

They will have a brother called Luca, and their surname will be Jones.

Finn Jones or Milo Jones ?

We are very torn between the two names, and would appreciate any feedback.

Thank you

Milo!

RuthW · 11/01/2020 22:58

Milo

Finn is half a name.

Ellmau · 11/01/2020 22:59

Milo goes better with Luca.

jannika · 11/01/2020 23:00

Milo, definitely.

Finn Jones is making me think 'fanjo'

Isthepopea · 11/01/2020 23:02

With a one-syllable surname I think you need a longer first name. So Milo.

TeetotalKoala · 11/01/2020 23:05

Milo! Gorgeous name.

DramaAlpaca · 11/01/2020 23:07

I prefer Finn, but with your surname and sibling Luca, Milo is the best choice.

Flymetothestars · 11/01/2020 23:07

Milo - great choice!!
Love Finn too though you have great taste

roiseandjim · 11/01/2020 23:18

To me Milo is a dogs name. Finn is very nice

toomanyleggings · 11/01/2020 23:36

Don't like Finn. Milo is better

Kiaa · 11/01/2020 23:46

Milo is super cute !

dj1905 · 12/01/2020 06:37

Thank you. My main concern with Milo is the dog's name reference.

Both great names but Milo is better with the surname and with brother Luca.

BikeRunSki · 12/01/2020 07:07

Milo

I only know people with this name, no aninlmals

dj1905 · 12/01/2020 07:14

Thanks. Are you based in the UK?

Yes

Milo is a dogs name. And Finn is extremely popular (and presumably short for Finley?)

dj1905 · 12/01/2020 07:35

It is short for Finley, but has become a name in it's own right. Personally I prefer Finn to Finley. My wife prefers Finley to Finn!

Overall, she prefers Milo though.

I'm just trying to see whether I can get past the dog comparisons or not.

Milo is better alongside Luca.

MsChatterbox · 12/01/2020 07:49

Milo.

Also sorry to do this but another suggestion... Micah (my-cah).. I have a son Micah and if my current pregnancy is a boy they will be called Luca 😊

poppydaisys · 12/01/2020 08:51

A Finn is a person from Finland!

Milo is a chocolate drink.

If I had to choose, probably Milo or Mylo

Flymetothestars · 12/01/2020 09:21

I don’t know if you come on this board often @dj1905 but people always says “that’s a dogs name” about so many names. I’d personally ignore it. Milo has grown a lot in popularity for little boys. The next generation will no way see the name as a dogs name.
I’ve seen a list of most popular dogs names and the number 1 name was Bella! There’s so many Bella’s at my local school. I really wouldn’t worry about it. There’s so many little boys now being called Rex and Rufus too. Maybe when we were growing up those names might have been a bit controversial but not anymore

Names like Fox and Wolf are being used these days and becoming increasingly popular. It’s completely different to when we were growing up

tamarisk44 · 12/01/2020 09:28

I think Finley Jones sound great, but if Finley isn't an option then Milo.

dj1905 · 12/01/2020 09:31

Thank you @Flymetothestars

I don't come on this board. I logged in last night for the first time, in a last minute panic to decide upon a name Smile
