Straw poll: Do you prefer Elliot or Milo?

[IBlameThePenguins]

Please don't tell me if you hate them both, I would just really like to know which you prefer.

We only have a week left before we have to register our Ds, and for some reason, we just can't name him... We have whittled it down to these two!

[OrlaKiely]

I like Elliott but Milo - isn't that from the Phantom Tollbooth? In which case pretty cool

It all depends on your surname, middle name, reasons etc.

I couldn't have a name without a good reason iyswim.

[Guntie]

I prefer Milo :-)

[katkoala]

Milo

[Haylebop12]

Elliot.

Although I know a lovely little Milo I can't get the tweenies connection out my head.

[IBlameThePenguins]

I like both for special reasons... Both personal, and literature related

Middle name is one syllable, shortened version of an old classic name, which was my Grandad's name, and surname is two syllable & begins with an 'H'.. .Pretty unusual name, so won't put it here!

Thanks for your reply

[IBlameThePenguins]

Cross posted with lots there. Thank you!... Yes the Tweenies confection is my main concern with Milo!

[IBlameThePenguins]

...or connection, even! Dam my fat fingers!

[thermalsinapril]

I like both, it would be hard to choose one! But I think Elliot would sound better with your middle name and surname.

[ben5]

Milo is a drink!! Just be careful if you think he might want to travel to Oz one day

Elliot is lovely

[IBlameThePenguins]

Really ben5? I didn't know that! Thanks for letting me know!

I like both, but don't LOVE either!... Oh, what a faff... It was easy with Dd!

[OliviaMumsnet]

Love 'em both.
I couldn't choose.
DS2 is Elliot Milo

[IBlameThePenguins]

Well, what can I say Olivia... You clearly have fab taste!

[OliviaMumsnet]

PS congrats btw

[IBlameThePenguins]

Ah, thanks! He is a lovely little squishy nameless bundle!

«penguins tries hard to remain cool, while secretly feeling all excited that Olivia has commented on my fred! Am a step closer to royalty now, I feel!»

[OrlaKiely]

Elliot Milo Mumsnet has a lovely ring to it

[IBlameThePenguins]

[MummyBurrows]

I personally prefer Elliot,I think it would sound better...Milo one syllable two syllable sounds a bit short iyswim,but Elliot one syllable two syllable seems to have a lovely ring to it :) xx

[SirDoris]

Elliot

[fussychica]

Elliot - from what you've said re middle & surnames

[FortyFacedFuckers]

Milo was on my list when I had DS

[Floralnomad]

Why don't you just give him a name you love ! Elliot if I had to choose from those two.

[Blu]

Milo.

I met an Emil last night - a good blend of your choices, and pretty cool!

[OliviaMumsnet]

@OrlaKiely

Elliot Milo Mumsnet has a lovely ring to it

[Manoodledo]

Elliot, but I'm biased because I have one.

[MineOrk]
