I asked recently how many Milo's you all knew. It's seems popular. The other name on our shortlist is Rafe so I'd be interested to compare. Thanks

I'd have spelt it Ralph though. Unless it was short for something.

None ,but I was thinking if Ralph/ Rafa/ or Raphael 6 yrs ago before DS was born .
Ex DP couldn't agree on any of those though!
Love Ralph / Ralphie

1, he's about 10

One, a toddler. Not short for anything else. I like it.

No rafe's but i know 2 wraith's. Wonder if its a local dialect thing though cause where im from the majority of people would pronounce them the same

Wraith?! As in a ghost?! That’s awful - may as well call your child Zombie or Vampire 🤣

Two babies and a 60 year old.

Smacks of entitled, posh little shit.

But I hate all of those type of names. If I hear of a kid called Sebastian or Tabitha I do a little bit of sick in my mouth.

None

@moofolk you sounds charming and no chip on your shoulder at all Grin

Several Rafes at our school with a variety of spellings Im afraid. Conversely, no Milos in the school.

None. Love it - and it's completely different to Ralph.
Know one Milo. Age 6.
