This name just popped up, what are your thoughts on the name Arlo?
Apparently it is Spanish, but also read it can be used for either gender.
Thanks.

I like it!

I have a friend with one who is 17, it was very unheard of back then. I wonder what he makes of its sudden rise to popularity. I guess it means he'll be able to get named 'stuff' now <ironic>

I loved it about 5 years ago and considered calling one of my ds’s it. Now very glad I didn’t as it is super trendy and will likely date very badly! If that doesn’t worry you it does have a nice sound to it I think.

Nothingy and extremely popular

It’s very popular for boys.

Never used in this country for girls, as far as I know

Ivo is a more unusual alternative

Really dislike it. It's a flash in the pan...will date terribly and in a few years time no one will be using it

MerryChristmasToYou · 29/12/2023 14:04

It's got a darkgreener entry as a girl's name, so somebody must have used it. About baby girls in a year.

Absolutely hate it - seems so clunky and cheap to me

janfebmarchapril · 29/12/2023 16:57

I know tons who are about 4... it's okay

Ridiculously popular, will date badly. It’s a nice sounding soft name, but so many other names out there with a similar vibe…
