I called my son Milo, I fell in love with it. Even with the general 'it's a pets name ' comments.
I do like Eli too however but Milo's a winner!

Glitter0 · 24/08/2024 06:44

@myonlinelife86 I really love it too! Thanks for your response :)

The only Milos I know are dogs so I would choose eli.

Eli- I loved this for ds19 but exdp didn't like it

Firsttimebabymummy · 24/08/2024 07:08

I like both.. Eli a bit more :)

Eli

sel2223 · 24/08/2024 07:23

I love them both OP, great taste!

Apollo365 · 24/08/2024 07:24

Eli

Apollo365 · 24/08/2024 07:24

I would add I really like Elias though

Milo!

Olika · 24/08/2024 07:27

Eli

I like Milo more than eli, never heard a dog called that way. I think it started rising in popularity because if the actor Milo Ventimiglia

You are obviously too young to know the Tweenies !

Derrymum123 · 24/08/2024 08:45

Eli is a beautiful name.

StellaCruella · 24/08/2024 08:50

Milo all day long!

StellaCruella · 24/08/2024 08:51

I remember the Tweenies - still love the name Milo, also quite like Bella and Jake! They're nice names. It's not like calling a child LaLa or Poe Grin

deliwoman1 · 24/08/2024 10:05

Eli! My nephew is Elias so I love that option too, if you wanted a longer version for the birth certificate.

Giggorata · 24/08/2024 10:09

I like Eli better.

Normallynumb · 24/08/2024 10:16

Eli

theduchessofspork · 24/08/2024 10:17

They are both nice - but Eli and E names generally are very overdone so I’d go with Milo

Spaceman101 · 24/08/2024 10:23

I've got a Milo. It's a fab name! 😄

hangingonfordearlife1 · 24/08/2024 10:27

i don't see milo as a dog. I see it as the purple tweenies character. Eli is biblical isn't it?

User6761 · 24/08/2024 12:19

I've a lot of Australian family so for me Milo is a chocolate drink! In the UK most probably don't have that association though.

Glitter0 · 24/08/2024 14:33

Thank you so much everyone!
