Boy names

[J3110]

What does everyone think of the name Arlo for a baby boy. Receiving mixed opinions from relatives. Middle name is a J name so nickname would be AJ.

Any other boy name suggestions welcome. We prefer short names. Others we liked but decided against were Albie and Remy

Ruben.

It’s nice - v popular though

Ivo would be more unusual

I think it’s never a good idea to discuss baby names with relatives (or anyone) before the baby is born!

Arlo became popular very quickly a few years ago and will date badly I think (like all names that gain popularity quickly).

Alfie is in a similar vein to Albie but I think it’s much nicer personally. Also Freddie.

I like Arlo, if you don’t mind a name that’s quite trendy (therefore with some risk of not dating well)

Other ideas

Ezra
Leo
Toby
Luca
Finn / Finlay

Thanks for your comments. I'm not too worried about a name that's gaining popularity. We already have an Ellis, Evie, Maddison and Nellie.

Alfie and Freddie are both names I like but unfortunately not ones we can use. Ezra is also cute but it's my brothers dogs name so again can't use it.

My cousins little boy is Ruben so not an option although it's a lovely name x

I think Arlo is a lovely name!
It's not a name that I am very familiar with, but I understand that it's popular now. Great name.

My eldest is Ellis.. Unfortunately we both have big families so there's so many names from this list we can't use 😩

Myself and partner both have such different tastes.

His list:
Remy
George
Arlo

My list:
Albie
Jax
Jaxon
Finlay
Marley
Sonny

He said Marley and Sonny are girls names and we don't really like Finn as a nickname for Finlay. He doesn't like Jax/Jaxon x

I would stick with Arlo then! It’s a great name and works well with your sibling names too.

Personally l don't like initials for a nick name.. AJ...CJ etc etc.. another American trend.

My partner actually liked the name AJ as a name. Not sure if it would be spelt AJay or what but I was like no way so agreed I would compromise with a J middle name if we were to use Arlo so he also gets what he likes lol.

My name is Jenna so thinking Arlo Jenson but I also do like Jude and Jasper as a middle name x

Thank you x

Arlo is nice! So is Brodie

My nephew is Brody. It's lovely name x

Ha - I have three boys. Arlo, Luca and Toby. And Leo and Finn were on the list. Am wondering if you are currently downstairs in the kitchen?

Arlo is good with Ellis, Evie, Madison and Nellie
Arlo Jasper is handsome

Arlo Jenson
Arlo Jonathan
Arlo Jeremy is very handsome - Arlo, Ajay, AJRemy,

Archie Jonathan
Asher Jeremy

Arlo is nice or how about

Anton
Quentin
Darius

Thank you. I am loving Arlo Jasper atm. Also I have a special needs brother Jordon so I'm also thinking of honouring him and considering Arlo Jordon x

Arlo was our boys name but we ended up having a girl.
People asked what our boys name would have been as we kept the sex a surprise til the day, and I've not had 1 positive comment about it 😭 having said that; we knew that would be the case and it wouldn't have prevented us from using it x

I've had comments about the dinosaur but tbh I have Nellie and had the same with her about elephants and that's not been an issue so far, eventually every name will be associated with a character of some sort so I don't really mind the dinosaur comments. Not liking people saying it's a dog name though lol

@J3110 exactly! People will always have an opinion and you'll never pick a name everyone loves. Long as you and the daddy love it that's all that matters so go for it I say! 🥰

I like Arlo!
