It's cool. There's an old American singer called Arlo Guthrie.

I feel Arlo has a lot of potential. I have heard some parents fear it could go to the girls like Addison - but that's strictly anecdotal. While I can see why that could happen because Arlo is similar to Marlo, why not just use Marlo on a girl and keep Arlo for the boys? Of course maybe Marlo was originally a boy's name too? I only know of Marlo Thomas, and perhaps her parents "stole" Marlo from the boys? I'm not sure.

Marlo is Marlo Thomas' NN. Her real first name is MargaretI think it probably grew out of the surname Marlowe - which would make it masculine, correct?

I love it. I know a sweet, curious, happy little two year old named Arlo (inspired by Arlo Guthrie). Australian country singer-songwriter has a son Arlo, also.

I used to not be too keen on it because it's just so hipster, but then I saw its origin and now it's very awesome old Irish farmery. So I like it paired with stuff that fits that, like Arlo Tuathal and Arlo Flannacha.

Lovely and fits all ages. =)

I like it. It's both amiable and substantial. The Ar- part gives it strength, and the -lo part sounds friendly.It works well for both children and adults unlike Milo, which seems eternally youthful to me.
