Miles....?

[MrDrool]

Help.

We gave birth to a boy last Monday evening. We've decided to call him Miles 'something' R.

Unfortunately we're struggling with the 'something'.

DW likes Matthew (my name), I quite like Joseph (for no apparent reason).

Anyone got a preference between Matthew and Joseph....or any other suggestions?

We've got until 10:30am tomorrow to make our final decision!

Thanks in advance.

if you call him Miles Matthew R ... his initials will be MMR (vaccination).

I love the name Matthew, but not with Miles.

I think Joseph is a better choice.

Or how about?

Miles Thomas
Miles Christopher
Miles David
Miles Lucas

Miles is a great name but I don't think it goes with either of your 'somethings'

What about Miles Robert ?

[Fanfare]

Congratulations! Miles is a gorgeous name, and perhaps Joseph goes better (simply because I'm not so keen on the M... M...). We considered Miles Alexander for our DS, it seemed to have a nice flow to it.

I love Matthew and Joseph but think Joseph will go better. Congrats on your baby boy.

I agree, Miles Joseph is definitely better.

Well, I'm going against the grain here, because I think Miles Matthew R sounds uber cool!!

Love it!

Congratulations - love Miles - a great name

Agree that Joseph flows better. I like the Christopher suggestion (depending on how many syllables your surname has...) How about Anthony?

Miles Naismith Vorkosigan...!

I rather like alliterative names and would go for Miles Matthew.

I also like names with a reason.

[MrDrool]

Thanks all for your thoughts.

In the end my wife (and BikeRunSki) 'won' and we have a little MMR.

Congratulations to you all
