Tweenies... eeek

LynetteScavo · 09/09/2008 21:53

I love it.

I wanted it for DS1, DH had other ideas.

marymungoandmidge · 09/09/2008 21:53

See I really like Milo, but my DH hated it - with a vengeance...so we were unable to use...but I do still like it a lot.
I really like Seth too- as did DH but it wouldn't have gone with our surname - just a thought...

I LOVED it and was considering it before ds was born but then...

The Tweenies. Cannot be used now

moondog · 09/09/2008 21:54

No
It's also a drink like Ovaltine in Oz.

GirlWithTheMouseyHair · 09/09/2008 21:57

I love Mylo - but it sounds wank with our surname (and ew, way way beter than Miles....ew)

Jasper and Joseph does sound nice, but I'm a Jo too - might be a bit much, esp as our surname starts with J too....

One of our alpacas is called Milo.

It suits him.

unknownrebelbang · 09/09/2008 22:06

Reminds me of the tweenies too.

Yurtgirl · 09/09/2008 22:08

Tweenies

If it turns out to be twins you could call the other one Fizz

Dont do it imho

Brightfield · 09/09/2008 22:11

I adore it! Fantastic name in my opinion and is most definitely on my list.

MerryMarigold · 09/09/2008 22:56

Malted hot chocolate. In a green tin. Nestle. Used to be mostly abroad, but can get it here now.

frazzledoldbag34 · 09/09/2008 23:21

Not keen. Just think Tweenie. Sorry.

GrapeJelly · 10/09/2008 11:26

I think it's a lovely name. It's a shame Tweenies have ruined it (and Bella for a girl). Fizz was never going to be popular though.

Anna8888 · 10/09/2008 11:29

Milo is much, much nicer than Miles (which is just weird). But a bit pretentious nonetheless.

EachPeachPearMum · 10/09/2008 16:17

I would pronounce it Meelo not Mylo.

AnybodyHomeMcFly · 10/09/2008 16:19

I like Milo and prefer it to Miles cos that means soldier whereas Milo = miller. But anything with Ls in is a tonguetwister with our surname...

AnybodyHomeMcFly · 10/09/2008 16:22

With Jasper I would put Alexis (Lex for short) or poss Orlando / Felix/ Cosimo which are too posh for us but I like them.

preggersplayspop · 10/09/2008 16:25

I like Milo a LOT. Not keen on Miles though.
