I suppose any masculine name can, given time, become popularly used as a girl's name. We've seen that happen with "Madison", for example, which means "SON of Maud".

But I think that the name "Milo" is still generally recognized as being a masculine name, so giving that name to a girl would be pretty much like naming a girl "Henry".

- Technically, Milo is a boys' name but there is nothing stopping you using it for a girl. I'd save Milo for the girl though. n/t - Charlotte Nov 20 2001, 10:58:20 AM
