Sometimes I like it a lot and other times not so much. I think it sounds heavy which isn't necessarily a bad thing...there's a weight to it... but I've most often heard it as a surname and have thought it was an ugly one. Moshe sounds better to me, but I'd feel weird using it because I'm more familiar with Moses.
Mo is cute, and the *s ending is nice in a lowkey way.

It's not my favorite name, bc its too old for me. However, I met the sweetest Moses in my college.
It is an underused gem.
I really like Moses. I associate it with the Jewish / Biblical character that led his people out of bondage and with the abolitionist movement in the USA. Apart from the freedom from slavery tie, Moses also handed down the laws from God that many Jewish people observe, so it has a founding father and religious leader element to it as well.
It is a very powerful name and might be hard to live up to rather like Solomon or Mandela or any other name that has a strong association or is almost put on a pedestal.
The song "Let My People Go" gives off the feeling of seriousness that I associate with Moses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtLcELU1brA
