    Help me with a boy name

    Mum23boys got me thinking about names, lol.

    We have pretty much decided on Charles (Charlie) for the new baby. Not so sure about middle name yet, but we are leaning towards Alexander. Miles had been on our list before, but I think dh decided he didn't like it. I took ds3 to the doctor's office on Monday, and the nurse said "is this Milo?" (I guess a Milo had an appointment around the same time) and I thought, wow, that is a really cute name. But I'm not sure if it goes with my other boys' names: Henry, Benjamin, and James (Jamie). We obviously go for the classic names, and Milo seems more trendy, while Charlie would definitely fit with other names. How about Miles and Milo for the nickname? I don't know any Milos....is it popular where you are? And our last name is McGraw - does Milo McGraw sound bad with the double "M" sound?

    I like miles with milo for short but then charlie is cute to maybe you could use them both, one as a forename, one as a middle?

    Ou I like Milo. I have not heard that before and I did pretty much exactly what you did when you first heard it. I think it's a nice name, I like the idea of maybe using Charlie as the middle if you really love it too? Or vice versa! Let us know what decision you come to

    Our family is now complete - no more babies for us. We didn't get our girl but I wouldn't trade my boys for the world, so in love.

    I have a Miles and everyone is always saying what a lovely name it is. I also liked Giles when we were choosing. I think they both sound quite classic! Having said that Charlie is a lovely name. I like it a lot but always wanted more unusual names. At the moment my Miles and Elliott are the only ones we know, which I like. We're thinking of things like Jasper, Monty, Bertie, Arthur, Digby, Xander etc. as they're all pretty rare and old-fashioned sounding IMO. Good luck choosing!!! I think we're leaning towards Jasper at the moment!

    I like charlie it was the name we had for Owen before we changed our minds. That or Oliver but Milo to me as cute as it is sounds more like a dog or one of the tweenies but thats just me. Miles however is cute and sounds greatw ith your other boys though top choice would be CHARLES. Good luck decidng - we still have NO idea.

    This ds3 was actually going to be a miles/milo until 20 weeks along. I just suddenly felt a connection to Theodore instead but I totally love milo, I adore that name. Charlie is a great name too. I think Charlie fits better with the other boys names but I'm not one to get all matchy like that so I would probably choose miles over it. I have a Samuel, Declan and soon a Theodore...people always comment how they don't go...haha.
