Milo?

[lezard0]

Can I have some honest opinions on the name Milo please. I've recently heard this name and I like it but I'm not sure if it sounds ridiculous? I like less common names but not extremely unique x

I know a couple of people with children named Milo. I like it. Not ridiculous and not unheard of but not everywhere either. Good alternative to Max or Myles/Miles if you like the feel of them but lesser heard in my experience.

Go for it!

I know an adult called Milo. I never thought anything bad about it, it suited him.

I’m not keen sorry. I instantly think of this, but that’s because I like it,
milo
I have also heard someone calling their dog back on the beach as Milo
I’m also of an age to remember

I love the drink so it always makes me think of that, maybe that's because I grew up in a different country where it's very popular

I first thought of the tweenies for some strange reason lol

I think it's a perfectly acceptable name. I know a couple of little boy Milos and one older boy Milo. Not my cup of tea personally, but I don't by any means find it to be a weird name. I'd say go for it if you like it :)

I like it - but it is relatively popular OP.

Miles a little less popular I think. Check on darkgreener.

The Tweenies were a big thing when mine were little (don't know if it's still popular) so I instantly thought of that. I don't dislike the name though, there's certainly nothing horrible about it.

I have a Milo and he's awesome, I don't know any others and I couldn't imagine him being called anything else!

I think it's ok. I do think of it as more of a dog's name to be honest, but it's still quite sweet. Personally I'd go for Miles and then use Milo as a nn when he's little.

I like it, I’m trying to name a boy just now too and so many of the nice boys name I have already used for my many many pets 😂 I have a cat called Milo 🤦🏼‍♀️ But love it! X

Not keen on it. Milky drink in a green tin.

The only Milo I know is a dog. I'm not keen on it, but I don't hate it. I prefer Miles/Myles.

It's a bit of a chocolate labrador name. However the drink tastes like oveltine which reminds me of my nan.
Miles is a lovely (grown up) name, milo for short?

Love it.
Wont raise any eyebrows these days
You could always have Miles nickname Milo

My dog is called Milo but I love my dog so I love the name.😀
When my dd was born I had a female dog, I became friends with some one whose dog had my dd’s name and her Dd had my dogs name. Made for some interesting walks!

I love it and would have used it had DD been a boy, we’re done now so won’t get to use it, I would have put Miles on the BC though but used Milo. Go for it!

I love it!

Thank you for your replies, we are finding it hard to find the perfect name. We also like Sebastian, Phoenix and William. But we're not sure as we think William is abit too popular

Sebastian is one of my favourites 💙💙

Chocolate drink

I know two Milo’s very different in looks and character, they are both amazing young men. Love the name

How about Arlo?
Less like hot chocolate.

I like Milo as a pet name tbh, we named our milky brown Siamese cat Milo. I also like Arlo in the same vein. Not so much for children. I put it in the same bucket of names I liked for pets rather than humans: Milo, Stanley, Dudley, Augustus, Scout, Arlo, but i don’t think there is anything wrong / unusual about these names for babies. If you like it, go for it!

Nice name but I can't get past the Tweenies.
