Miilo. By a long way.

SoVerySophie · 01/06/2023 22:14

Milo, even 😂

ComeTheFuckOnBridgett · 01/06/2023 22:15

Rio sounds the most like a name to me.

MissHart · 01/06/2023 22:16

I like Harlo Rio together too with Rio as the middle name

Harlo looks like you’ve missed off the W, I know too many dogs called Milo to see it as a viable option now tbh so, I’d go with Rio.

FelicityFeatherstone · 01/06/2023 22:19

Sorry but all are awful. However Milo is an actual name so that ..

Purplecatshopaholic · 01/06/2023 22:22

Milo, by a mile. Not keen on Rio. Harlow has a W on the end and is a girls name..

continentallentil · 01/06/2023 22:50

Milo - it’s very nice

Harlo and Rio are joke names for goldfish or something - please don’t.

Kanaloa · 01/06/2023 22:51

I would say Milo or Rio. I know a few boys named both and I think they’re very wearable. I’m not keen on Harlo, I’ve never heard it before and it just doesn’t sound nice to me.

Andanotherone01 · 01/06/2023 22:52

Harlo(w) and Rio? Is this a joke?

XelaM · 01/06/2023 22:58

Milo! It's the best name and is my boy's name 🥰 (picture attached 😍)

Rio, Harlo or Milo?
GeraltsBathtub · 01/06/2023 23:03

Milo for sure. Harlo sounds like you either couldn’t decide between Harlow and Arlo or that you didn’t know they were different words. Rio is less bad, but it’s not great.

ourflagmeansdeath · 01/06/2023 23:05

Milo is lovely. Rio's nice too but I prefer it for a middle name. Harlo isn't great, it sounds like Arlo which I prefer. Harlo Rio doesn't flow to me too. So Milo.

GeraltsBathtub · 01/06/2023 23:07

Also I think two names ending in o is a bit much. What about Milo Rhys?

bellsandwhistles333 · 01/06/2023 23:09

My 5year old is milo :) we love it and have had no regrets!

joan12 · 01/06/2023 23:14

Milo is great. Along the same lines I love Jago and Inigo.

Bournetilly · 01/06/2023 23:19

Love the name Milo.
Harlo and Rio are awful sorry, Harlo Rio is even worse, they don’t go together at all.

louderthan · 01/06/2023 23:27

Milo. The other two are ridiculous. Are you a Duran Duran fan?

SemperIdem · 01/06/2023 23:30

Milo.

The other two sound really common.

Newname2323 · 01/06/2023 23:41

I know three Rios yet people on here say it's not a name. I thought it was fairly well known? Anyway, Rio is my favourite from the list. Harlo isn't spelt correctly, sounds like a girls name to me and always reminds me of Harlot Confused Milo is strictly for animals, in my brain

GeraltsBathtub · 02/06/2023 00:03

@Newname2323 my first thought is river, then Rio de Janeiro, then the mining company Rio Tinto, then Rio Ferdinand - I’ve never met a Rio and he’s the only person I’ve heard of with it as a name. Looking at Wikipedia, most of the famous people with it as a name seem to be Japanese so maybe that’s why (I don’t know that many Japanese people).

Velvetbee · 02/06/2023 00:26

Milo

CallieQ · 02/06/2023 01:09

Milo

Other two are meh

ClemFandangoCanYouHearMe · 02/06/2023 02:23

Avoid Milo if you ever think he may go to Australia or NZ. That'd be like calling him Ovaltine over here

WuTangGran · 02/06/2023 02:29

What about Polo?
