Do you like it?

If you do, how would you spell it?

my cat is called Milo, I love it

EachPeachPearMum · 26/01/2009 20:46

I like Milo, pronounced as Meelo....
I do know a baby Mylo though.....was at the spelling- actually hadn't realised he was spelled that way until I saw it in The Times

Next door's cat is Milo (definitely how I'd spell it btw). MIL loves the name and kept putting it forward as an option when I was pg

I don't dislike it but do think of it as a pet/tweenie name

annasmami · 26/01/2009 21:16

I know a Milo pronounced Mee-lo (as in Kilo) too...

EachPeachPearMum · 26/01/2009 22:35

annasmami are you in UK or Europe?

ChasingSquirrels · 26/01/2009 22:36

milo is a drinks range, mylo is just wrong.

Milo Sorry, will always make me think of this!

annasmami · 27/01/2009 12:08

I'm in the Uk, EachPeach, but the Milo I know is from Germany, where it is pronounced Meelo.

sorry it is horrible.

FairLadyRantALot · 27/01/2009 22:36

To me it's a Jack Russel Terrier name.....however....I do kinda like Milo...but Mylo....nah

My 12 yr old ds is called mylo. Has never had any tweenies related issues. Seems happy with the name , gets called mylee or smiley miley sometimes.

I like Milo but it is the name of one of Boris Johnson's sons.

dimdommilpot · 13/04/2013 19:00

I have a cat called Milo.

tootssweet · 13/04/2013 19:11

My ds is Milo & he's 2 so hardly likely to be of a tweenies generation unless they have a resurgence. Obviously we love it & it suits our boy!

I think every name has its negatives or something that you can be teased for so I don't really care what others say. My dog has a common boys name doesn't make it a bad thing!

thermalsinapril · 13/04/2013 21:15

Milo is a great name.

Can't see anything wrong with the associations either. Chocolate? Fine. Tweenie? Don't watch it, but if you ruled out all TV character names you'd be rejecting quite a few.

forgetmenots · 13/04/2013 21:26

Like Milo, not Mylo. How about Miles with Milo as a nn?

Ham69 · 13/04/2013 21:36

Who digs out these old posts? Milo/ Mylo will be starting school in September looking at the date this was posted!
