We have a boy due in January, and had decided on Miles Alexander as his name, months ago. DH is now having doubts and likes Hugh Alexander. I do like the name, but have been so set on Miles. Any opinions to help?!

Miles is lovely and I like the alt spelling, Myles.

If you don't stay in Scotland Hugh would be my choice.
I wanted it, but the baby would have ended up being called shug or shuggy by everyone apart from me and I would spend my time objecting to it, so didn't want to deal with that.

Miles -- nah
Hugh -- unfortunately an unsavoury character i know.

Maybe Hugh -- you could think of Hugh Jackman

Sorry I disappeared, took the dogs out.

Thank you, I'm glad no one said they're both awful! Maybe that's the best thing to do, wait to meet him. It's the one thing I thought we had sorted though...

I don't think surname makes much difference, it's long and double-barrelled either way.

Miles Alexander sounds lovely. :)

I like both, does one go better with your surname? I'd keep both in reserve til you see him, he might suit one or the other.
