Love Damian.

Miles is the plural of mile and is like calling a child Kilometres.... unless you're not in the UK (where miles are used to measure distance).

Damian and William (Liam) are lovely. Not keen on Miles, sorry.

Miles. Definitely Miles. It's lovely,and works well at any age.

Awful, awful and awful. Miles is dull and the other two are what rough people call their kids, sorry.

In my neck of the woods...

Miles is not great, to be honest and I have to agree wit Rosie - the other two are used by people of a certain err type volume.

I LOVE Liam not keen on the other two though.

Never heard of any of them being rough names????

Miles is my favourite, but also like Liam a lot.

Damian reminds me of 666 / devil etc, sorry!

The snobbery about Liam is really sad to see. It is a lovely, old Irish name and not 'used by certain people' at all in Ireland.

Hate that kind of snobbery!

Prefer Miles, not keen at all on Liam or Damian

lisaro Tue 07-Feb-12 14:22:02

likeitsgolden It's not snobbery - it's tainted the name for me. And yes, it is/was a beautiful Irish name, and more widely used there. But this isn't Ireland, and the fact remains that generally over here it is used by people in a way that sounds awful - ie shrieked, accompanied by abuse very often.

Miles .
its a good name . it sounds nice , it writes nice.

Liam is ok , but ruined for me by hearing to many fishwifes screaming LEE-AAAAM.

Damien , just makes me think of the omen films...or fools and horses ..SORRY blush

Miles

Liam although nice reminds me of Liam Gallagher and I don't like him.
Damien reminds me of 666 and Del Trotter's son. Don't like it at all.

Not keen on any of them - sorry but we just have different tastes in names. William is lovely but nn. Will not Liam...not helpful sorry!

ChickensGoMeh Tue 07-Feb-12 14:38:06

I prefer Liam (Irish DH), don't mind Damien but very much dislike Miles. Not sure why though.

notso Tue 07-Feb-12 14:42:19

I love Miles/Myles and Liam.
Can't decide which is best out of them.
I don't think Liam is anywhere near as popular as it was.

Don't like Damien at all.

PercyFilth Tue 07-Feb-12 16:27:34

Miles, definitely.

Liam is OK if it's short for William.

Damian, oh god I can hear the music already shock
