I like Arlo. Don't know why. Of course, my cats are named Lisa and Bagheera, and my dogs are Thistle and Beckett, so there is clearly very little rhyme or reason to any names I choose... though to be fair, my mom named the dogs. And I had three Barbies as a little girl that I dragged about by their hair named Aligoola, Jaboa, and Cheapo Barbie (whose head I popped off and on regularly.) Even at three, I obviously took names very seriously.
But Arlo rings nicely. It's cute, but not cutesy, and has the whole hippie-pacifist-good-feelings-Guthrie juju going along with it. (Although only a man named Woody would name his son Arlo. It's a little weird for a person. No offense to any Arlos reading this.)
Delurking!
