Please would you give me your feedback on these names? Or even suggest other names along the same lines? Thanks!

I'm not keen on any but if I had to choose, Reuben. Miles is indeed too widely used as a measure for distance in the UK - would be an odd name choice imo.

Miles is a really terrible name. Theo, Reuben and Tobias are all very much of the same ilk - slightly passé MC pretentious.

Miles is the plural of Mile, which is still widely used in the UK, isn't it Hmm. Like naming your son Kilometres Grin.

I like Dominic, Theodore and Conrad. How about Quentin (Quinn) or Felix?

I like Theo (would use Theodore as full name), and Miles. Reuben is OK, not keen on Tobias. Jonah is nice too.

How about Felix, Joshua, Samuel, Elliot, Arlo?

My ds has 4 mates with those names so funny to see them all written together on here!

Not so keen on Jonas as I used to know one, even though he was a great guy - but I do like Jonah.

Tobias is our favourite but as it has 3 syllables, it's likely to be shortened. So I've been trying to think of one or two syllable names instead.

Theo and Reuben from that list for me, other suggestions, Caspar, Sebastian, Dan. Good luck :)

Reuben and Theo are my favouritesSmile

Miles is a bizarre name for a child ...but that's just me! Like Tobias but hate the nn Toby.

I like Tobias the best, followed by Theo, Reuben and Miles. How about Conrad or Dominic?
