How many Milo's do you know?

I don't know any (one dog 😂) but the internet suggests it's one of most popular names of the year so far and we're looking for something that isn't too popular

The only Milo I know is a malted hot chocolate drink.

I only know one, in his 30's. Miles is a far more popular name around here than Milo.

My son is called Milo. He's 5 next week. We've met a few others and there's an other Milo in my daughters nursery room. I love it - it's a great name.

KANNET · 19/07/2020 23:02

I heard the name milo three separate times in the park the other day. Seems to be very popular

Wagsandclaws · 19/07/2020 23:19

Oh no is it getting popular!? DS 11 is a Milo and it suits him very well.

One other in his school and one in his last school but that's all I know.

3 x under fives, 2 x over fives, 1 x teen and my solicitor was Milo (he was a bit of a wanker if I'm honest!!) Very many dogs!

I don't like it on humans...it always sounds a bit....soft? Might seem ok on a cute little baby, but on an adult...it's a bit twee I feel. I think it's the 'lo' ending (I feel the same about Arlo).

Allmyeye · 20/07/2020 11:07

Reminds me of the bedtime drink. Don't know if it's still made though.

zigaziga · 20/07/2020 11:12

What site is this on? If it’s using anything other than the ONS data which is out late Summer every year then it’s nothing more than click bait.

zigaziga · 20/07/2020 11:13

And I know two Milos. One is about 6 months old and one is about 50 years old.

HansBanans · 20/07/2020 11:14

Only the guy from the Tweenies

captainraymondholt · 20/07/2020 11:15

One. He's about to turn 18.

Louise0701 · 20/07/2020 11:16

3 dogs and 2 children

MikeUniformMike · 20/07/2020 11:16

None. Don't like it and it's a milky drink.
