HelpRe: Opinions of Milo
in reply to a message by MoCro
Love, love, love it! Love both names, both are family names for me, love them paired together, love them next to your other kids' names. :)
ETA: Having just read your other replies and seeing comments about Milo being perceived as "weak" and not aging well, I thought I'd mention my ancestor, Milo, who, as a pioneer traveling west by wagon train through terrible winter conditions, voluntarily stayed behind to nurse others who had taken ill, and were too weak to travel further, and were to be left, with little provision, to manage as well as they could. He did so successfully but, unfortunately, caught the illness himself and died on the journey. There are written accounts of members of that train which mention Milo and the help and service he provided to many who suffered along the way. Of course, this knowledge has always colored my perception of the name but, even on paper, regardless of my ancestor, it does not strike me as "weak" at all.
