Lyndon or Milo?

[memphis83]

we are having a boy due this week and my pain in the arse lovely DH keeps changing his mind and 'going off' names we pick, this week we like Lyndon and Milo he keeps swaying on and off Hugo too, keep telling him once hes here he cant change his mind, his middle name will be freddie? whay do you think?

Don't like either, the first reminds me of Johnny Lydon Rotten, the other is a Tweenie. Why not just have Freddie as his first name. Hugo sounds a bit too posh and smirky to me. I knew a Hugo who was posh and smirky.

I like Milo best from your choices

I like Freddie too, although I like it best as a nickname for Frederick.

Milo Frederick or Frederick Milo would be great

Not so keen on Lyndon as I don't like surname type names. How about Dylan, William or Leon?

Milo is a fab name, it suits my DS lots

I know 2 grown up Lyndons, both lovely men
Milo v. popular
I like Leon as coffeefestival suggested

Milo

Hugo

I knew a lyndon who was a lovely man,

Milo is a hot chocolate tyoe drink and thats whatI think of

Like Hugo or Milo. Lyndon may get shortened to Lyn, which he may not like.

Love the name Lyndon.
Milo tweenies.

This thread seems very split.
May be not helping your decision making

Milo.

I have always liked the name Milo, but when my 3 were born the Tweenies were very poular and so I though people would have made the connection.

The Tweenies aren't as omnipresent popular now though, are they?

DS1 has a friend called Florrie and she has never been likened to a Fimble, so maybe I was over-thinking it anyway.

I can only think of this when I hear Milo:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_(drink)

I guess it depends where you live.

Being in the UK, not heard of Milo as a drink & it wouldn´t put me off.

Quite like Hugo, although not as much as Milo.

Also like Arlo & Jethro.

this comes to mind for me.

I like Lyndon, and Hugo too.

Suggest Leo?

How about just telling DH when the baby is born that his name is {your favourite} ?

What may be going on here is that your DH is falling back on contrariness just because he's nervous or still trying to wrap his mind around what's going to happen, but he'll be perfectly happy to call the baby anything you say when he's born

I agree mathanxiety i think its finally sinking in that we are days away and he's getting nervous!
diddl my mum used to give me milo to dring when i was little but it doesnt bother me either, but i love your suggestion of Arlo!!

Why thank you!

What about Lytton - which is an old English name. I think I prefer Milo to Lyndon, which is a bit like Lynda. But what about Timo - if you like 'o' names.

I have an 8 year old Lyndon. he loves his name , which means lime tree from the old english. round our way in Dorset, lime trees are called Linden trees.

He has never been called Lyn either.

President Lyndon B Johnson ain't too bad a namesake either if you concentrate on the civil rights legislation and liberal domestic policies of his Great Society and overlook Vietnam

Having an older child Milo will always be associated with Tweenies for me

marthaquest thanks for post thats what i love about name that its old english, but good to hear your son loves it and that he isnt called lyn, my dh is obsessed that people will shorten names i cant see it myself so youve made my arguement stronger!

my Dad said the same thing - 'he'll be bullied at school' but to date it's never been an issue.

I think, in this age of Kyles, Jaydens and Taylors, kids are much more accepting of names.
