Opinions on using the name Milo for a girl?

I am 31 weeks and still haven't picked a name for my baby girl!  My husband and I can't agree on anything.  I like unisex names like Aspen.  He likes Maddox, but we can't agree!!  Any suggestions?  Would Milo be cute for a girl?

NMS but if you like the sound of it, maybe you could think of names like Mila.

Ewww....JMHO

Edit: Sorry that was harsh. I Milo is NMS for a boy. I just don't care for it at all. So hearing for a girl to me makes me like it even less.

Agreed, absolutely NOT OKAY!!!

I would go with Aspen from your suggestions even though it's NMS. Maddox is not good on a girl either!

I like the PP's suggestion of Mila!

Mila is much more appropriate for a girl. I know a little boy named Maddox.

Absolutely not.  It's terrible.  Maddox is as well for a girl.  I can't imagine strapping my child with a name that will give her trouble her entire life.

On the off chance that this is real (this is your first post??), Milo and Maddox are all boy.

Aspen is OK.

I knew a girl named Milo growing up.  Never thought twice about it, to be honest.  But we did nickname her Otis, but that reference might be lost on this generation.

I believe in a lot of things. I believe in fresh tennis balls, the healing power of bunnies, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are something I'll never read. In fact, I don't even know who Susan Sontag is. What is she... like... a painter? I believe in Crystal Lite because I believe in ME. I believe in the movies of Val Kilmer, though these days it ain't so easy. I believe in Darren Sproles, the word "dabble", the first season of "Silk Stockings", and big, warm, moist, gooey chocolate chip cookies that melt in your mouth and all over your face.

Have to agree, liking unisex names is one thing, using a boy's name on a girl and calling it unisex is another. Milo is all boy, as is Maddox.

Milo and Maddox =/= unisex.

Mila?  Appropriate, pretty name for a girl.

Milo and Otis! Love that movie. Anyway, no I would not pick Milo for a girl, or Maddox. Aspen is nice.

Please don't.  Milo has been a boy name for thousands of years.  We considered using it for DS.  It makes me sad that this could ever be considered a girl name.  Maddox is also awful as a girl name.  I do like Aspen, which I don't think of as unisex (which is probably why I like it - I dislike unisex names).

This exactly.  I love Mila...it's different, but still a girl's name.

Other unisex names:  Morgan, Taylor, Avery, Kendall

Oh FFS. I hope this I MUD.

As a mother of a Milo, I find this absolutely terrible. Leave the **** boy names alone already.

My suggestion: you are having a girl, not a boy. Find a name that is suitable for a girl. I would feel sorry for any girl named Milo and really question the parents' sanity.

That said. Maddox is even worse. WTF?

On the off chance this isn't MUD, how about Mila? That is an actual GIRL name.

What is wrong with people?

I know someone named Mylene IRL (pron. MEE LEN) and her NN is Milo. But Milo as a given name - no.

Milo and Maddox are both no good for a girl. Aspen in NMS but I would not consider it a unisex name.
