Arlo

[applecharlotte]

What do people think? A bit silly for a boy? I'm loving it at the moment.

I like it. DH didn't so it didn't make our list...

Love it, love it, love it! The coolest boys name.

It's OK.

Better than Milo anyway.

It's a bit twee Freya North for me.

He'll have a baby brother called Rufus.

I did wonder if OP had recently read the Freya North book that has a character called Arlo as that's the only place I've seen it before...

Woody Guthrie's kid was called Arlo. It doesn't really work for me, but that's just because I have a weird accent that makes it sound like I've just swallowed a bottle. Generally in favor of groovy boys' names

Nope.. not read the Freya North book (yuk).. there was a character in 24 last night called Arlo - I'd never heard the name before. Not sure if thats better or worse actually...

Really like it.

Natasha Kaplinsky called her son that.

I wanted it but husband vetoed.

It was on our list but we worried people (our parents mainly) would say "What? That's not a name!".

Good to see that it is.

Makes me think of Harlow in Essex pronounced in the local accent I'm afraid (but that might just be cos I'm an Essex girl...)

Is Arlo not really a shortened form of Arnold? I know an Arnold who alwags gets Arlo.

I know 3 Arlos: two at nursery, one son of a friend.

Love it.

Know a very cute one.

Love it but I remember when Natasha Kaplinksy had named her son Arlo and shortly after she was giving an interview and mentioned she had had some bewildered reactions to it!

Arlo's fab. I like the sound. Also like Ivo.

We had a horrified reaction from DH's family when we announced our DS was called Arlo and quite a lot of people said "Pardon?!"

But we love it so that's what counts

My friends little boy is called Arlo. (After Arlo Guthrie)

Love it. It's a very cool name!

I also know an Arlo - after Arlo Guthrie. I like it.

Love it.Was on our list

The sports presenter on the Today programme is called Arlo. Had he been the presenter this time last year DS2 may well have been called this.

I also know an Arlo - after Arlo Guthrie. I like it.

thanks for all your replies... just to need to convince OH...who is currently set on Doug eeek!

Doug?

it's cool, had it on my lists for ds2 and ds3

It is the FABBEST name (but then I am biased ).

It does sometimes get the 'is that a real name?' reaction though.

I really like it.
