Opinions on "Milo"

WanderingA · February 2013

My husband and I have had a little girl name picked out from the beginning but our A/S in on Thursday and the only boy name that we are close to agreeing on is "Milo" and I'm kind of unsure about it. the middle name would be Timothy so it's not too out-there, but still fairly unusual. What do you all think?

Mufflerlove · February 2013

I like it and think it sounds good with Timothy.

aimee1899 · February 2013

Milo Timothy sounds great!

526SadieSadie · February 2013

Sorry, I don't like Milo for a human baby, it's 100% a dog name to me.

Miles Timothy or Timothy Miles sounds much better.

(I love Timothy - unfortunately, I dated one so that name is officially banned from all phantom sons of mine)

I like it.

catahoulatte · February 2013

I love Milo.

I think it's cute, but I am slightly bothered by the trendiness. I don't know if it is going to be one of those names that will seem dated in 10 years.

I like Joy's suggestion of Miles.

I love Milo. My DH however, only thinks of it as a dogs name.

This.

Yes to Miles, not to Milo,

for me, It does not matter to you but Its my dogs name and I know alot of Milo dogs.

First thing that comes to mind is Milo the dog from The Incredible Journey... and then the new dog treat brand that's always on TV.

I prefer it as a nn to Miles, actually I like Miles much better but could get on board with Milo as a nn.

blueandgray · February 2013

I hear Milo & think dog name. Miles would be better.

anvloveskme · February 2013

I like it, but prefer Miles bc I think Milo is getting too popular

capulet · February 2013

I like Milo a lot and would have put it on our name list for DS if DH had liked it as much. It's been a standalone name since ancient Greece and I don't think of it as a dog name or a nickname for anything.

BrilliantBrunetteJenny · February 2013

I love the name Milo and like a lot of the other posters agree it might be better suited for a dog. In fact I have a Goldendoodle named Milo myself.

I think the name Miles is very manly and it is so close to the name Milo.

Agreed. It's not a bad name, but I do prefer Miles.

tialilly · February 2013

love it!

GrayGhost13 · February 2013

Love it! Actually, we almost named DS' baby doll Milo, but Jack won out by a narrow margin. Stick out tongue

As for popularity, it was only 361 in 2011, which isn't bad, but it has risen very quickly, so it's possible it might rise more in the next few years.

Crys1925 · February 2013

While I understand where others are coming from regarding the dog thing, it's a GP name for me - absolutely adore it! I think it's great as a NN for Miles.

WashingtonQueen · February 2013

I think Milo is a great name!

Stef1210 · February 2013

I love Milo. I wish my DH did, but he isn't crazy about it.

Fianschneid · February 2013

I think Milo is a cute name for a little one and a nice name for an old man but I have trouble picturing it on someone 14-72 years old. It doesn't feel like it ages well to me.

What are your thoughts on Miles?

Everyusernameistaken · February 2013

Love it...if I have another boy it's definitely in the running. Milo Timothy is great.

sept9107bride · February 2013

We use Milo as a sometimes nn for our son Miles. I like the flow of Milo Timothy better though. To me, I would use whatever sounds better with your Ln.

blu-eyedwife · February 2013

I think Milo is an adorable name!

And I think you could always call Milo "Miles" as a nickname.

Mrs.G123 · February 2013

Cute with timothy

danabsd · February 2013

I think of it as a dogs name.

[Deleted User] · February 2013

I like it! I think Milo Timothy is a nice and solid name.

sunnydays99 · February 2013

I like Milo a lot!

Milo is a popular malted chocolate drink in Australia, where I grew up. Otherwise I like the name, haven't heard of it as a dog name, but then I live in the UK.

Kmommy91 · February 2013

Milo Timothy is such a great name!

same, this is my dogs name!

meggers102 · February 2013

I love Milo! I do NOT agree with other people that Miles is a better name with Milo as nn. I much prefer Milo.

this decaf life · February 2013

I love Milo on it's own.

QueenHalloween · February 2013

I know three babies names Milo. Not including celebrity babies. Haha.

I definitely think it's overplayed. Cute though. I just can't see calling a teenage boy Milo.
