11 thoughts on “Baby name battle: Milo vs. Milton

  1. Without a doubt Milo wins, but I’ve never even considered Milton as a possibility before this poll. Makes me think of it in a different light.

  2. I like Milo much more but it sounds absolutely ridiculous with our last name, which sounds like Lou. Milo Lou. So I vote Milton.

  3. In New Zealand, Milo is a very popular malted chocolate drink… poor kid would get picked on so badly at school!

  4. I know a couple of Miltons, and they are not my favorite people. Plus, I love the O in Milo.

  5. Milo’s a more popular choice, in my opinion- so I picked Milton. That, and it has some significance to me.

  6. Objectively, I’d vote for Milton. But Milton reminds me of the slapstick comedian Milton Berle — “Uncle Milty”, so Milo got my vote.

  7. My daughter’s name is Milo Grace. We get very positive feedback about her name. I know it’s a chocolate drink in Asia, but the Chinese name some of their babies “Tang,” don’t they?

  8. our sons name is milo milton. milo because we love it, milton after my husbands grandfather.

  9. We named our son Milo Xavier. I hated Milo when my husband first suggested it as an alternative to Miles because all I could think of was an orange cat, but then it grew on me and I loved it. Another benefit was the shortness of the name since our last name has over 10 letters! We have Lily and Milo and their teachers will thank us for that later. :) I just got him two Thirty-One bags with his name embroidered on them and they’re so cute!
