Milo - yes or no?

Opinions on the name Milo for a boy? I love it but just questioning the wearability on an adult, but not sure if I’m overthinking it.

I like it.

Lots of Milos around so perfectly normal for an adult

Ioverslept · 20/04/2024 14:38

Yes, it probabluy helps that I know a lovely boy called Milo

BreatheAndFocus · 20/04/2024 14:52

Yes - nice name and will sound fine for an adult too 😊

wombpaloumbpa · 20/04/2024 15:26

I hate it sorry

raspberryberet7 · 20/04/2024 15:51

Love it

I saw a dog toy with the name Milo on it just this morning.
There were loads of these toys .
Parents to be might want to pop to a pet shop and check the names out.

Barneys, Marleys, Alfies, Marthas...

It's also gaining popularity in the Infant School too.

I love it but ultimately didn't use it because it feels very canine, as others have said. There is a Milo in Ds's class...still makes me think of The Mask.

No I really dislike it, also really dislike Miles

Milo its a milk brand in australia and Asia. Also a dog name. Please dont.

Needmorelego · 21/04/2024 00:08

@Femme2804 so what if the name Milo is used for a brand of milky drink.
Can people not use the name Ben because it's also the name of a rice brand ?

well its like milk and also like a dog name. So for me its no. Ben its a human name not an animal. OP asking about our opinion.

Great name with a lovely meaning, works for all ages too which not all names do.
There's a guy at work called Milo, he's about 30. DD has a Milo in her class too. I've only known one dog called Milo years back but then I've also known dogs called Sam, Rosie, Lily, Jake, Alfie...

@Femme2804 Milo is a "human" name - why would you say it isn't ?
I've never met a dog called Milo but I know an actual human in real life called Milo (plus a fictional one in a long running novel series and have heard of several actors called Milo).

Edited

Because to be honest never hear anyone name milo before. I know lots of dogs name mile though.

@Femme2804 Google "people called Milo". It's a perfectly ordinary name.

Geez. 😂😂😂 why you are so triggered by this. I know how to use google. I can use it but i dont want to. Its my opinion and i wont change it. Milo its like a dog name. So many people agreed with me also in this thread. Relax 🤣🤣

Needmorelego · 21/04/2024 11:31

@Femme2804 you're the one that dramatically said "Please don't" like the OP had suggested naming their baby Pineapple or something equally ridiculous (rather than Milo - a perfectly normal name!)
😂😂😂😂😂
