Im really loving the name Milo at the moment, even though here in Australia it is a chocolate drink, I still love it!
Do you prefer Miles or Milo?

What would be some good siblings for Milo?

MN I was thinking:
Milo August
Milo Pierce
Milo Jasper
Milo Sebastian
Milo Oliver
Milo Darcy
Milo Hamish

Sibs:
Milo, Felix, Maeve & Grace
Milo, Henry, Oscar & George
Milo, Ruby, Evie & Olive

Any suggestions?

I prefer Miles, just started loving it in the last few months, but I love Milo also. I would be likely to use Miles as a fn and Milo as the nn. :)

Milo August - love both names but not sure about flow
Milo Pierce - not bad
Milo Jasper - great!
Milo Sebastian - very nice
Milo Oliver - The double O's are a little tricky but I love both names
Milo Darcy - very nice
Milo Hamish - great!

Sibs:
Milo, Felix, Maeve & Grace - Grace sticks out as boring next to the others, imo. I love Milo & Felix as brothers. Milo & Maeve together are a little cutesy, though. Maybe Milo, Felix, Eve & Grace?
Milo, Henry, Oscar & George - Love, love, love, love
Milo, Ruby, Evie & Olive - Evie is more of a nn to me (for Eve, Eva, or Evelyn--all are nice). I want to like Olive but all I see is the name of a food. :-/ Milo & Ruby are perfect together.

I like Miles better personally. But what you think maters most! :)
Justin, William, and Jeff might make good siblings.
Claire, Sarah, and Fawn might make good siblings too.

I definately prefer Miles. Milo is the name of an overhyper, one-eyed cartoon kid on The Oblongs with Will Ferrell from Adult Swim (I may be one of the few people that knows it tho).

MN I was thinking:
Milo August - August is just a month to me.
Milo Pierce - kind of cool
Milo Jasper - very good
Milo Sebastian - too different for my taste
Milo Oliver - not a fan of the -o O- combo, but I do like Oliver Milo
Milo Darcy - nmsaa
Milo Hamish - okay

Sibs: - I like the one- & two-syllable names together!
Milo, Felix, Maeve & Grace - I think Felix and Milo are great together, and Maeve and Grace are good together, but not Maeve or Grace with Felix or Milo
Milo, Henry, Oscar & George - I think they're great together, though I'm not a fan of Oscar
Milo, Ruby, Evie & Olive - I'd change Evie

I love Milo and always have. I dislike Miles and always have :P

I have always loved Sebastian Milo, so I automatically love Milo Sebastian. I also love Milo August - family name for me. Milo Jasper is great too.

I love both Milo and Miles. I really don't like either one more than the other, but I'd be more inclined to use Milo since Miles is already in use in my family.

I like/love*:
Milo August
Milo Jasper*
Milo Sebastian*
Milo Oliver
Milo Hamish

I love all of your sets (except for Olive):
Milo, Felix, Maeve & Grace
Milo, Henry, Oscar & George- This one is especially good :-)
Milo, Ruby, Evie & Olive

Wha? Milo for a girl? Have you ever seen Milo O'Shea in an old movie?

With eyebrows like that, I could never think of Milo on a girl, apart from the obvious tradition of the name.

Nope, I never heard of Milo O'Shea who is that?

I dunno I just prefer Milo on a girl, it's legit too, in I think Greek or Roman or some Asian country [I really can't remember I can't] remember there is a woman named Milo. Also Miles to me I go for miles as you walk a mile, etc. It's nature name to me, so I see it as unisex.

I don't think I'd never use it personally, I just like it for a girl, If i picutre a boy that all I see is cats.

I see a cat when I think of Milo too. Also, I think of Kilo.

You've probably seen him in older movies but never knew his name. He has an Irish accent.

Maybe to you (and me!), but I met a female Mylo once.

I swear it's only a matter of time until we start seeing females named Jacob (or Jaykybb). :(
