Opinions on using the name Milo for a girl?

I am 31 weeks and still haven't picked a name for my baby girl!  My husband and I can't agree on anything.  I like unisex names like Aspen.  He likes Maddox, but we can't agree!!  Any suggestions?  Would Milo be cute for a girl?

    NMS but if you like the sound of it, maybe you could think of names like Mila.

    Ewww....JMHO

    Edit: Sorry that was harsh. I Milo is NMS for a boy. I just don't care for it at all. So hearing for a girl to me makes me like it even less.

    Agreed, absolutely NOT OKAY!!!

    I would go with Aspen from your suggestions even though it's NMS. Maddox is not good on a girl either!

    I like the PP's suggestion of Mila!

    Mila is much more appropriate for a girl. I know a little boy named Maddox.

    On the off chance that this is real (this is your first post??), Milo and Maddox are all boy.

    Aspen is OK.

    I knew a girl named Milo growing up.  Never thought twice about it, to be honest.  But we did nickname her Otis, but that reference might be lost on this generation.

    Have to agree, liking unisex names is one thing, using a boy's name on a girl and calling it unisex is another. Milo is all boy, as is Maddox.

    Milo and Maddox =/= unisex.

    Mila?  Appropriate, pretty name for a girl.

    Milo and Otis! Love that movie. Anyway, no I would not pick Milo for a girl, or Maddox. Aspen is nice.

    Please don't.  Milo has been a boy name for thousands of years.  We considered using it for DS.  It makes me sad that this could ever be considered a girl name.  Maddox is also awful as a girl name.  I do like Aspen, which I don't think of as unisex (which is probably why I like it - I dislike unisex names).

    This exactly.  I love Mila...it's different, but still a girl's name.

    Other unisex names:  Morgan, Taylor, Avery, Kendall

    I know someone named Mylene IRL (pron. MEE LEN) and her NN is Milo. But Milo as a given name - no.

    Both Milo and Maddox are horrific on girls.

    Go with Aspen.

    No.  Use Mila or Myla instead.

    I like Aspen, Myla (my-luh) and Mila (mee-luh) as alternatives.  Big NO to Milo or Maddox on a girl.

    Aspen may be ok, but NMS.  Milo and Maddox?  No.

    I love Milo for boys, hate it for girls. There is nothing unisex about either Milo or Maddox IMO.

    I had to weigh in with my No. Maddox is on my most hated list so I definitely wouldn't consider it for a girl. Aspen isn't my style but it's not awful. Maybe Mia?

    Milo or Maddox - BIG FAT NO!

    Aspen is not my style.

    Perhaps Mila might be a good compromise?
