It’s bad enough for a boy, but it’s awful on a girl. The first time I heard the name of the Star Wars character I thought it sounded like a surfer couple thought Kyle was too mainstream for their kid, but had no actual imagination and just stuck a trendy -o on the end.

It seems like short -o names are everywhere these days. I know a baby Milo, a baby Otto and a baby Arlo personally, and I’ve heard people seriously considering others like Leo, Enzo and Ludo. They’re not awful, but they’re not my style.
