I thought you meant for a sterilising fluid, then noticed i was in baby names... Sorry.

I immediately thought of sterilising tablets - sorry! How about Miller?

Milton fluid. No, sorry.
How about Dettol (or is that a girl's name?)

Makes me think of Milton Jones, very funny comedian!

I thought there was a Simpsons character with that name, but just realised it's Millhouse Blush

Isn't Bart Simpson's nerdy friend called Milton?

Makes me think of rough area in Glasgow.

Not sure that calling a person after a sterilising solution is a very good idea.

Could lead to intense teenage bullying re shooting blanks etc. Sorry

I would think Jones or Liquid.

I actually quite like it, the first thing that comes into my mind is John Milton, and also the fairly famous showjumping horse Milton. Although neither of these are great associations either, I suppose.

Sorry - as soon as I saw the thread title I thought 'milton fluid'. Could be an ok name if you could get away from these associations.

I assumed it was as in John Milton...

Simpson's friend is millhouse.

Milton is sterilising fluid, shabby place in Kent (Milton Regis) and of course the lovely Milton Keynes.

Feel really bad for you! But almost anything would be better than Milton! Nowt wrong with Ben or Sam! Also most kids actually like to have a pretty normal name, especially boys apparently.

Sorry my first thought it Milton Jones too, followed by a cheesy one liner!
