Do you like it?

If you do, how would you spell it?

It's awful, but it is Milo.

mankymummy · 26/01/2009 15:34

sorry will forever conjure up the image of a purple tweenie....

Dalrymps · 26/01/2009 15:34

I like it and have considered using it myself but am a bit worried it sounds like a dogs name so unsure?? I'd spell it Milo.

missblythe · 26/01/2009 15:37

Bugger. The Tweenie hadn't even crossed my mind.

I'd spell it Milo, though, I'm not keen on it TBH.

What's wrong with Miles (nn Milo if needs be)?

Dalrymps · 26/01/2009 15:39

Yeah, I like Miles too

ilovemydogandMrObama · 26/01/2009 15:47

love it -- DP didn't

stuffitllama · 26/01/2009 15:52

Milo is a big brand of chocolate, malted, caramel milk drinks.

I like it but wouldn't use it as it reminds me of tweenies and my brother had a hamster named Milo .

PuppyMonkey · 26/01/2009 15:57

Milo off the Tweenies always reminds me of someone I used to work with. Isn't that odd?

Tigerschick · 26/01/2009 15:57

If I was told that it was someone's name I'd spell it Milo.

Personally I prefer Miles as a name.

tribpot · 26/01/2009 15:59

Don't mind it as Milo, Mylo is a travesty against spelling.

helsbels4 · 26/01/2009 15:59

One of my guinea-pigs is called Milo - the other one is Max (can you tell my lo's liked the Tweenies???!!!)

Egg · 26/01/2009 16:02

Milo makes me think Tweenies straight away. However I do have a Jake myself so I cant really criticise!

I do think Miles is a good idea, and then nickname Milo.

Bonnycat · 26/01/2009 16:43

I like it and wouldnt necessarily think "tweenies"
Would spell it Milo.

scorpio1 · 26/01/2009 16:45

LOVE Milo

SoupDragon · 26/01/2009 16:45

Mylo is just plain wrong.

I do think of the Tweenies though. Miles is better.

suwoo · 26/01/2009 16:49

I love it!! It is on my list, but I would never dare to use it in case he was subjected to years of Tweenie based teasing.

Frasersmum123 · 26/01/2009 16:57

I like Milo, but it does remind me of a Tweenie.

Is Milo pronounced as Kilo?

Or is it pronounced Mylo?

Frasersmum123 · 26/01/2009 18:45

Its pronounced Mylo

Blu · 26/01/2009 18:47

I like Milo.

plantsitter · 26/01/2009 18:50

My nephew is Milo - I think it's lovely. He's never been subjected to tweenie-based teasing and he is 5 so you might expect it.
