I like Shiloh. It has a calm, soft, smoky, hazy feel.

I think Shilo looks a little more feminine than Shiloh by association with nicknames where the short/cut off version is considered the feminine version (Joe vs. Jo, Nicky vs. Nicki, Bobby vs. Bobbi, etc.) I think it looks incomplete compared to Shiloh.

I also feel like the "h" on the end is what makes Shiloh have that long "shy" sound, kind of like the "h" in Mariah. I'd still pronounce Shilo like Shiloh, so not quite like Mariah where you take off the h and it becomes Maria, but Shiloh still looks more balanced.

I don't like it for either gender

I really want to like the this name, but I like the idea of the name more than the actually name itself (sweet, country boy). I agree with Anneza that the shy and low part are off-putting.

Hate it that it sounds unattractive for me.

I really like it— I would spell it Shiloh.

I find it unpleasant for either gender. Who wants to be both shy and low?

Well, I hate it. I can't get into this name at all because it's the name of a major military base near my hometown. Wherever I see or hear this name all I think of is gross military stuff, so there's no beauty or charm to it for me at all. It's akin to all those weird gun related names that are out there nowadays. Makes my skin crawl. Shiloh is ever so slightly better, because Shilo also makes me think of "missile silo".

Shiloh is handsome and cultured. Shilo, not so much -- it just has more depth with the "h" at the end.

I think it’s one of those unisex names that leans more feminine than masculine, which isn’t a bad thing, but it just seems a bit more unusual on a boy. Either way I also think it’s ugly but definitely Shiloh over Shilo

Don't really like, I'd spell it Shiloh
