Thoughts on Arlo

[fem]

You all helped me toss around some names a few months ago and the help was greatly appreciated.

DD is Caro.line Eliza.beth.  I wanted her to be Clementine but it was a compromise name with H.  I recently stumbled across Arlo if this one is a boy and can't decide if I love it or not. H said he likes it. Thoughts?  

Would possibly be Arlo Ross (H's middle name) and our last name rhymes with 'year'. I'm open to other middle name suggestions also.

Arlo is a strong choice and it's not my taste but it's respectable. It is an odd pairing with the very classic Caroline and feels much more like Clementine: old Americana folksy.

I don't like it but there is nothing wrong with it.

Thanks cabbagecabbage that was one of my fears because H and I both have pretty classic names too. Naming is hard, especially since I'm so indecisive.

I kind of like it. Unusual, but easy enough to pronounce and not completely off the wall zany.

+1 Well said.

It's nms, but I don't hate it. It is a completely different style from Caroline though.

I'll be the oddball. I really like Arlo. I like that it's strong and simple.

[hangry]

I like Arlo. It may not fall in the same category as Caroline, but I don't think it's a ridiculous match. One could def pull it off.

Don't like it and think it sounds odd with Caroline.

[honeylemon]

I like Arlo a lot. It may not be a similar style to Caroline, but that doesn't matter IMO. My kids' names don't match.

[reginaphalange]

I like it a lot and I think it goes just fine with Caroline.

[ugotstarbucked]

I like Arlo but not loving it with Caroline

[Deleted]

I love it.

This.  I think it may increase in popularity because of the Good Dinosaur movie, which is immediately what I thought of.

I haven't seen that movie so didn't even know it was in it. This is good to know though!

I kind of like it, but not a name I would use myself. I'd like it on someone else's kid.

Yep, it's the main character....he's *the* good dinosaur.
