Harlo and Rio sound like carnival characters from a comic book. Milo is okay.

What about HoHo?

LuluBlakey1 · 02/06/2023 21:30

Or Mojo?

LuluBlakey1 · 02/06/2023 21:32

Or Rhino ? Or Dildo?

LuluBlakey1 · 02/06/2023 21:32

Or BoJo?

Out of the three I prefer Rio. Milo is a popular dogs name. Every other cockapoo is called Milo

TennisWithDeborah · 02/06/2023 22:18

Milo is great.

I also really like the suggestion of Arlo.

PlantingMarigolds · 02/06/2023 22:21

Arlo is great.
Milo is ok.

PlantingMarigolds · 02/06/2023 22:21

Arlo is great.
Milo is ok.

“Arlo is great” Are you serious ? 😱

Milo - A lovely name….for a dog!

@MillieOns , I don't like Arlo. It's become very popular quickly. It seems to be an old name but I think it will be dated when the trend for vowelly names and -o names passes

Or Rhino ? Or Dildo?

Dildo is a nice one 😅

Rio sounds the most like a name to me.

Opposite effect for me. I know a Rio and it's not for me. I think of:

1: Duran Duran (which was about a girl)
2: The footballer
3: Brazil
4: The movie with the macaw who went to #3

Harlo looks like Harlow/Harlowe spelt wrong to me, and that appears to be a trendy, overused name after one celebrity used it.

So for me it's Milo, though if I'm honest it wouldn't be for me either. But from the choices it seems by far the best.

WTF?
Harlo isn't even a name!

EggInANest · 03/06/2023 10:31

Milo
or Arlo

Not Harlo

EggInANest · 03/06/2023 10:34

Bingo

Madamecastafiore · 03/06/2023 11:18

Rio is a drink or a parrot (maybe there's a parrot on the carton).

Harlow is a girls name. Harlo isn't a name at all. It's also quite a grim place in the UK. You can get stoned just sitting outside the coffee shop in Harlow by the big industrial estate. Was an eye opener!

Milo is a milk drink in Oz but that's not widely known in UK so I think that's definitely the nicest.

They all sound like dog/pet names.

MerryChristmasToYou · 03/06/2023 13:02

@Madamecastafiore , it is a milky drink in the UK. It often gets the eye-level space at the end of aisle in my local big supermarket, so I'd think that many people are aware of it. It would be hard to not see it.

UrsulaBelle · 03/06/2023 13:45

Milo or Arlo are OK. I think Ivo is better though.
