Milo

Milo has long been a highly recommended author favorite, now getting some well deserved appreciation. With its German, Greek and jaunty Anglo/Irish input, Milo combines the strength of the ancient Greek Olympic wrestler of that name--a six time winner of the Olympic games-- with the debonair charm of a WW II RAF pilot.

More recently, Milo has been associated with the dashing Milo Ventimiglia, of Heroes fame, and has also been a character in Catch-22 and The Phantom Tollbooth, on screen in Milo and Otis, Alias, and Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Ricki Lake, Camryn Manheim, Sherry Stringfield, Liv Tyler and Alyssa Milano are five celebrity moms who share our enthusiasm for Milo, as do many nameberry baby namers.

Milo is often heard in Ireland.
