Meaning: from Miles, Latin for 'soldier'
I think poor Milo has either been seen as a bit pretentious or as a dog's name in the past (as an aside, I think the line between pretentious and pet names is often a thin one; eg - Binky, Rex, Felix). But I think Milo has lots of potential. It has the trendy and edgy -o ending, which offers something different to the super popular -n ending for boys' names. It is recognisable but not popular, being outside the top 100 most popular names in England and Wales. The meaning of 'soldier' is interesting and perhaps makes this name a little more macho than it might appear.
If you aren't keen on Milo but like the thought of a military name, then perhaps one of these names might appeal to you instead (they either have military connections or meaning):
Herman, Armand, Garrison, Lance, March, Major, Scout.
