I really do love this name and I do feel like I can't picture it on a grown man but like once I actually see or meet a grown man with this name it doesn't seem juvenile, if that makes sense. Also some older comments were saying they didn't like the name bc Milo Yiannopoulos. If you were in that boat I'd say you're good to use this name now bc bro fell off he straight up disappeared (ok maybe not *straight* up... haha-... uh... sorry...) but like yeah afaik no one talks about him anymore if you name a kid Milo now like no one their age is going to know who he is so like i think ur good now guys.

I think Milo is adorable and has such a lovely sound. My one objection is that I have a hard time picturing it on a grown man.

Unpopular opinion but I see this being a nice choice on a boy or girl. I played an rpg with a female character named Milo and she was MOTHER. I will say it still leans more masc with me.

Could it be a Germanic and Italian form of the Slavic element milu (Miloš, Milan)? It seems complementary with the Miles etymology. Both could be, couldn't they?

Man, everyone upset that trans people like dis name eh?
Well hello! I’m Milo and I’m non-binary, this name has been a name I’ve always adored- way before I came out.
I feel like this name can work both on a boy or a girl, or anyone really! It’s so sweet sounding.

“There was once a boy named Milo who didn’t know what to do with himself— not just sometimes, but always. When he was in school he longed to be out, and when he was out he longed to be in. On the way he thought about coming home, and coming home he thought about going. Wherever he was he wished he were somewhere else, and when he got there he wondered why he’d bothered. Nothing really interested him— least of all the things that should have. “It seems to me that almost everything is a waste of time, ” he remarked one day as he walked dejectedly home from school. “I can’t see the point in learning to solve useless problems, or subtracting turnips from turnips, or knowing where Ethiopia is or how to spell February.” And, since no one bothered to explain otherwise, he regarded the process of seeking knowledge as the greatest waste of time of all.”

Hi! I'm a trans boy, and I've picked the name Milo. Why? It's simple, it's cute, it's perfect for a short boy like me! I overall think this is a great name and Milo Yannananana or whatever his name should be forgotten by now. If you're thinking about naming your baby boy Milo, I encourage you! It's super sweet and for a cute lil boy.

All I can think of is this name belongs on a dog... the dog from the mask and I think the cat in the movie Milo and Otis. Not a name I would think ages well for boy or girl past the age of 5. Also it seems quite a bit feminine to be taken seriously on a boy. I do like that it is unique though and don't see it much but I do see it on many dogs it is just like the name Max that is on every dog these days :/

Heyo. Fellow trans guy here.
First off, I hope you’re having a good day.
Okay, down to business. I hate that this “Milo Yiannopoulous” fellow is driving people to hate this name. My (Trans) name is Milo. I chose this name not because I agree with this other “Milo” dude. I hate him and what he thinks and believes. I chose this name because I ignored all of this. And I think that everyone else should too. Forget about the name and focus on the person. Do you hate me because my name is Milo? I sure hope not. That’s a pretty dumb move on your part. You don’t know me. I don’t know you. If you hate me, you have no valid reason. Don’t let one person's actions ruin a name that is owned by many people. Life is already hard enough.
Thank you for reading this, my fellow people.

I actually used to like this name until I found out about Mr. Yiannopoulos. Now I can't see it without thinking of his hateful political views. I'd advise choosing something else.

If I could hear this without thinking of Nero (Milo Yiannopoulos) I would like it. He is literally both homophobic and homosexual (I support gay rights, but not the way he is about his blatant homophobia and the fact that he would be made straight if he could), and irritating as hell I would be okay with it. Now all I associate this with is alt right commentators.

Milo is an awesome name. It's classic, yet youthful. Despite its rather negative connotations in modern times, it's a pretty humble sounding name that will last well throughout the owner's life.
Just please don't spell it Mylo.

I think it sounds really tacky, like the name of a cheap perfume, and of course there's the association with that racist, misogynistic jerk Milo Yiannopoulos. I bet a lot of the men using this name on their sons must be admirers of him.

Milo was the first name of the president of the college I attended. He has since passed away. It is a Bible College and he was a very good man and leader as far as I know.
I really like this name. I really like it's meaning "merciful". Another site listed "merciful or soldier" as possible meanings. I kind of like the irony and depth of the two of those meanings being what you might not think of as going together...

Milo Cawthorne is a New Zealand actor who has been in Power Rangers: RPM and a few stage-plays.
But instead of his name being said as 'MY-low' his name is actually pronounced 'Mee-low'
I think 'Mee-low' sounds quite classy and unique.

Brings to mind the character from the children's book "The Phantom Tollbooth", which is probably why I picture Milo to be a young boy. But I definitely think it could also be suited to an adult man.
It's a lovely name - simple but unusual, and a bit mysterious.

According to this website, this name is from the name Miles. But according to the information for Miles, it is from the Germanic name Milo, which is of uncertain origin. It may be from the Latin miles, meaning soldier, or a Germanic element meaning gracious, or it could even be a diminuative of Michael. I like the meaning gracious best, and I think Milo is more unique and attractive than Miles, which sound way to formal for me.

I think this is a tremendously cute name for a boy, but I'm not quite sure how well it's going to suit a grown man. At least it ends in 'o', so it's clearly masculine and not infantile in the same way as names ending in -ey might be. I like the sound of this name by all means, but I'm afraid it'll be very popular.

According to "A World of Baby Names," Milo is of uncertain derivation. Might be from the German mild: "mild/peaceful/calm;" or from the Old German root milan: "to mill, beat, crush, or rub until fine or tender." Could also be from the Old Slavonic root milu: "merciful."

I used to think Milo was a cool name, then this baby's show called the tweenies came out and one of the things on it was called Milo.
