There's a famous American musician Arlo Guthrie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arlo_Guthrie) and it seems to be becoming a bit of a celebrity trendy name (like Harlow). Australian singer Kasey Chambers, British reporter Natasha Kaplinsky and Scottish singer Karine Polwart all have sons named Arlo. More on Arlo:

Harlow makes sense - Arlo has that same trendy feel. I see the appeal. I can't say I'm a huge fan, but I do like that so far I've only seen it on boys:)

I think Arlo is like a male form of Harlow in people's minds, so I think it won't cross to the girls.
