It's incredibly cute, but it makes me think of Tintin's dog. Not a bad association, but a heavy one anyways :-)

Thanks, I think it's incredibly cute, too. :) I hadn't thought about the dog, though. :( Actually, I didn't know its name was Milou, lol.
Darned dog!

mee-loo or mye-loo?
It's cute, and strangely I think it could pass as a first name : )
It reminds me of Leeloo from The Fifth Element ; )

I was hoping someone would say that! :) I hope it would age well, though. That's another worry, lol. Milou is adorable on a wee one, but what about an adult? If it doesn't age well enough as a first name, there's always the middle name spot!
Sadly, I've never seen 'The Fifth Element.' Leeloo is kinda cute, though!

I thought it must be mee-loo but I wanted to be sure : )
I don't know, I can actually picture it on an adorable little toddler as well as an sweet and eccentric 50 something woman, haha.
Oh you must see The Fifth Element, I love that movie. I think that you would especially love Inva Mulla Tchakoa's song the 'Diva Opera' from it.
Okay some random suggestions:
Sophia Milou (Although now that I type that it makes me think of the actress Sofia Milos)
Milou Pearl
Milou Plum
Milou Charlotte / Charlotte Milou
Milou Song
Milou Inara / Inara Milou
Milou Indira / Indira Milou
Anya Milou
Milou Elinor
Milou Fey
Milou Jacinthe
Milou Jessenia
Milou Ruxandra
Milou Sunniva
Milou Sybilla
Sasha Milou

I will have to see the movie then. I'm always up for movie suggestions and right now I've been making a list of all the DVDs I want. If I see it the next time I go shopping, I'll definitely buy it.
I definitely like the suggestions of Milou Pearl and Milou Plum!
Charlotte gives Milou a very classical edge. I like it!
I might even consider Milou Inara because I've fallen head over heals for the music of Inara George. Inara has wonderful potential as a name, methinks.
And while I'm not too big on Anya, I think Anastasia Milou would sound fab!
Thank you for the great suggesitons!

Sorry, got confused.
There was a thread on the other board about the name,a nd I could have sworn it was Lilou.
I am quite mistaken.

Yes...
But is spelled Leeloo in the movie. Therefore: Ciarda was correct.

I can't say really. I don't know enough about it.
Oh, and that is a cool photo of Kate in your signature!
¡VIVA ESPAÑA!

Thanks! I ♥ Kate. :) The photo was taken during at a May Day celebration during her last year at Bryn Mawr. It's a great pic!
Milou is a contraction of the names Marie and Louise, a kind of nickname, if you will. Prince Friso and his wife, Mabel, recently used it as one of the names for their little girl who was named after a 17th/18th century princess, Marie-Louise, Princess of Orange (also called Milou).
I thought it was a cute little contraction of a name and not too bizarre of one, however I didn't know if it would have enough substance to pass as a first name or if it were doomed to nickname-only status.

All sorts of bad puns come to mind, most notably, "It'd be great as a middle name. How do you feel about Skipto as a first?"
I really dislike it, to be perfectly frank--it seems very Euro-chic and twee to me.

O come, all ye Grateful
Deadheads to the concert.
O come, Grateful Deadheads,
And camp in the street.
A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.
