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

Doug - please no.
Arlo - like it a lot.

Arlo is really sweet but for a little boy, but I'd expect a teen Arlo to have dreadlocks, smoke weed and be a vegan, and an adult Arlo to be beardy, keep an allotment and have a penchant for sandals.

I do actually quite like Doug though!

Although perhaps in hindsight, Doug would be the one more likely to have an allotment.

I love it and it was on our shortlist - after Arlo Guthrie.

Know 2 boys with it as a middle name and a baby with it as a first.

And what, pray, is wrong with having an allotment?

Arlo is a fab name. We know two.

like it gagamama, like it

It's becoming very very popular. It does sound like 'arlow.

Not overly keen but it's ok.

I live too close to Harlow to ever like the name Arlo I'm afraid.
