Baby Names

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?

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • 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.

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

  • 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.

    If you were seriously considering it, don't do it.

  • No!

    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.

  • 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.
  • Definitely not. Milo is a nice name for a BOY!
  • 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?

  • Aspen is okay, the rest are big NOs
  • Milo or Maddox - BIG FAT NO!

    Aspen is not my style.

    Perhaps Mila might be a good compromise?
