[Opinions] Re: Milo
in reply to a message by Ninor
For years I've been claiming on this site that Milo wouldn't work as a name in South Africa because of a malted chocolate drink, popular with children: you mix a spoonful into a glass of hot or cold milk, give it a stir, and there's your association with the name. But now I know a six-year-old Milo who is beautiful, cheerful, highly intelligent and displays great empathy for someone his age. I still associate it with the drink, though. And it was a delivery-room inspiration: the parents, grandparents, whoever had all been dicussing names and narrowing them down to Jesse and, I forget the other one, also a J name: Jared maybe? And the mother, from her hospital bed, said "Milo!".Here, it's pronounced MY-low. Sort of close to Miles, which I prefer but not enough to use.
