I like all of them! I think my favorites are Alexander, Miles, Lucas, and Isaac as matches for your DS1's name (Guess @blanche and I disagree on that last oneone!), but only because I personally prefer Theo/Jack as nns instead of full names, but that's just my weird preference. Can't wait to hear what you decide! NB: There is a Milo in DD's class and I never know whether to say Mylo (like Milo + Otis) or Meelo (like Milo Ventimiglia - or *shudder* Milo Yiannopoulous) because I hear people at daycare say it different ways. That should not influence your decision, just wondering which one it is. Like Milo and Otis. Which is exactly why it ranks poorly with MH. |

Milo is, and will always be, the protagonist of The Phantom Tollbooth, one of the most amazing books ever. It is half the reason I love the name.

Maybe I should sneak it into MH's kindle. I hated this book as a kid, although it was the best book report mark I got in the eighth grade year because I was concise in my hatred rather than my usual long-windedness. That said, it's a good reference and if you think your DH would like it, use it to get him on board! SaveSave |

My teacher made me read it so I was probably pretty determined to not like it before I started. SaveSaveSaveSave |

Crap I forgot to come back in here again. Holden is my unicorn name that my husband refused to agree with so that gets the number one spot from me. Then I love jack Eli Leo and Theo all the same. I love short names and we gavee both of my boys short names. shadesofgoldEdit to add @heartbot I’m laughing because Holden Caulfield is probably my most favorite character ever. He spoke to me when I was younger LOL! |

Of the revised list, I like:
Milo (over Miles, because the known sibset thing in a small town would be a deal breaker for me)
Isaac
Theo
Honourable mention to Lucas.
