Milo?

How do you feel about the name Milo? After exhausting every baby name book out there this is the only name we agree on, but I'm still unsure. Help!

What is a ‘wet’ name? Like Thatcher’s ‘Tory Wets’ or something else? Sorry not come across this before

I think 'wet' usually means slightly posh, pretentious male name with a hint of being effeminate maybe.
In the Brideshead revisited style if that makes sense.

( I have a slight weakness for such names)

‘Wet’ means kind of weak and poncy, eg Rupert, Edwin, Tarquin etc

Ah! That makes sense. Thank you both!

Please no!!!! I'm a pet sitter and by far and away the most common name for a male pet anything is Milo. Please spare the little one.

Excellent Phantom Tollbooth vibes.

Like it but prefer Miles.

That is my first association with the name too. One of the best children's books ever so it's a yes from me.
