| I like Mila, and I really dislike Milo. |

I don't know why you think that (or why it's bad -- the "too" modifier is strange. I thought people sought out popular names?) Milo is also very popular now. Based on that, I think OP is in the right ballpark. |

| Really don't like Milo. |

| Like them both. Don't think either are "too trendy" - at least not in my circles. |

| Like the Adventures of Milo & Otis? |

| Milo seems very young to me. I'd have a hard time taking a 35 year old professional named milo seriously. But it's not bad. |

| Milo is bad. Mila is ok. There'll be pronunciation issues. |

| Mila will get called Mia all her life |

+1 I wouldn't name my kids Milo or Mila but I don't think they are horrible....just not my style. If you like them, go for it. |

| Not my style, but perfectly fine names. |

Luckily you will have 35 years to get used to the idea (if the OP names the baby Milo). |

| Milo always makes me think of The Phantom Tollboth. |

definitely, and if you like a name, why even bother asking DCUM? That said, there are certain names that I just make me think young kid. Josh, for instance - it's a perfectly nice name...it just reminds me of a kid. I dont understand the idea of asking anyone here about a name, because every single name is considered trashy/classless/too popular by at least three people on every name thread. Everyone in the world should be named elizabeth and henry, according to DCUM |

Um no, she won't. My niece is a Mila. Don't think anyone's made that mistake. |

| I know a Milo and he is a goof. I also think of Milo and Otis. Mila is ok. |
