I am in love with Shiloh for a boy and can not find any names that I like as much...I just don't know if I should use it or keep searching for something else...I have loved this name for so long...before brad and Angie used it on their daughter....I just don't know if my child will be teased because of this....I am going crazy trying to decide! Please help!!
I am just curious...those of you who know boys name Shiloh...where do you live? I am in the United States and have met only one Shiloh in my life....Thanks!!

i have a friend named Shiloh and he is not teased because of his name, in fact i think it is more suited for a boy than a girl.
good luck

I know many boys with that name and they have never been teased. Its one of the very few beautiful names for boys.

Then name your baby Shiloh. There's nothing wrong with it and you like it that much so why not?

Shiloh is a nice name... if you like it, go for it! Or you could make that his middle name and name him some other name that you may like. That way you can still call him that without being afraid of other people making fun of his name. Hope i helped!

Unfortunately, many celebrities ruin names by using them. Whether we like it or not, "Brangelina" named their daughter Shiloh so now most people believe it's a female name only which is silly because it's not the least bit feminine or attractive for a girl. My suggestion is use Shiloh as the middle name and that can be what you call him as well as other family members and close friends, but his first name can be used in other public situations such as school and work when he gets older.

The only Shiloh I've ever heard of is the dog in those Shiloh movies that I grew up watching...

Honestly, I'm not feeling it... :/ It doesn't sound like a very masculine name to me.
I can see it being a cute name for a little boy, but after that I can see some problems.

If you love it, you love it. How does dad feel about it? If you both dig it, why not use Shiloh?

I know a Shiloh and he's in California, but from Utah.
