Opinions on Milo please!

[TheMightyToosh]

How popular is it? What would you shorten it to (if anything)? Suggestions for a middle name?

Thanks!

I like it but DH doesn't.

THing with names though is you are never going to please all the people all the time!

"BTW, how can your choice of name possibly depend on whether it's 'over' or 'in fashion'?"

If that is directed at me as the OP, please re-read the original message as I didn't mention either of these things.

In many parts of the world, its the name of a chocolate drink - mind you, a good one!

Love it - is a fab name - I only know one - the son of another mumsnetter and he is a fab little boy.

I like it. I know a teenage one, no smaller ones though.

MightyToosh - sorry, didn't mean to offend you, it was directed at other posters.

Toosh I imagine FlimFlam had MaggieAnFiaRua's post in mind not yours!

Ah - see you've go in before me FlimFlam

My son has a friend called Milo. It doesn't get shortened and it's pronounced My-lo. I like it a lot.

Love it. Wouldn't shorten it (is Miles short for Milo?).
I think the Tweenie connection may only be salient to people with children of the age for watching that programme; I've barely registered their existence and certainly didn't know any of their names.
Also, Milo makes me think of the hero of The Phantom Tollbooth - which is an entirely Good Thing.

Also Milo Minderbinder from Catch22[who was a tad bonkers]
Boris Johnson's son is called Milo...but don't let that put you off!Think he is teenager.

flimflam apologies! I got wrong end of stick! (pregnant and emotional

Thanks for the literary references ladies. DD is named after a film character so if we do go with Milo for DS, these are good to know!

I love Milo...DH has banned it though for it's tweenies link...humpf.

Love it.
