Comments and insights on the name Milo

I love the stylish and handsome name Milo. Unfortunately, I could never use the name because Milo is a popular brand of chocolate malt drink in my country, Australia.

Personal experiences with the name Milo

I have a 5 year-old son named Milo and we are always getting compliments on his name - and even though it is so "cool" we have only run into one other Milo at a friend's birthday. We like its balance of familiarity (as in it feels familiar) and uniqueness.

Our 14 month old is named Milo (no middle name). We get compliments everywhere. Once, we met someone whose nephew was called Milo and another time a couple heard us on the playground. She said they were naming their son (she was 8 months pregnant) Milo William and his sibling was named Boston.

My brother's name is Milo Kristin (Mine is Charlotte). He never had a nickname or anything, he's 16 now, turning 17 soon, but as kids we always loved stories and movies with characters named Milo. Our dad even built us a Tollbooth like in Phantom Tollbooth. We also have a collection of Milo drinks and a framed menu from Milo Butterfingers in Dallas. I've only met one other kid named Milo, with two older sisters name Charlie and Alix, which made me laugh, since I have an older brother named Alex and people call me Charly.

My 2 yr old is named Milo Patrick and his 4 yr old brother is Mason.

My dad's name was Milo.
