I love it! Sweet, playful, and boyish, and very much my style. I can imagine Arlo being well liked.

Arlo just sounds like a name of a puppy to me. I'm unsure if I prefer it for a boy or a girl, because I'm just imagining a golden retriever..

Not a fan. It sounds like one of those recently popular “hipster” names. Definitely prefer Arnold to Arlo.

Such a coincidence! Some people I know just named their son this a week ago. The baby is sweet and wonderful. The name is not my style.

I like it. It's gentle and sweet. It reminds me of Milo, another name I like for the same reasons.

Dog name, and hipster pretty, like Milo and Enzo. Grows up better than Milo, though. It's alright.
I think it's also a hipster girl name and would half-expect a girl. As a girl name it's kinda like one of those names that seems to try to hide (from) gender, to me. But, it does "work" for a girl.

It's not something I've encountered. I have a vague sense that it's missing something, "Arlo?...not Carlo or Marlowe? Okay..."

Maybe it's going to be like a unisex 2020s version of Arlene.
