Miles, lovely classic boys name.

Mason, I'm thinking the c word, sorry.

Ham69 · 01/10/2015 00:15

Miles. Love it.

Oysterbabe · 30/09/2015 20:25

I prefer Milo to Miles but like both. Mason is quite chav.

Miles is too posh (tho' often used nowadays) and Mason too common. That aside, I don't like either anyway.

Sophronia · 30/09/2015 13:08

Definitely Miles.

RonaldMcDonald · 29/09/2015 23:57

Mason is rather...well ...you know

exoticjuicedrink · 29/09/2015 23:56

Mason is so over used now. Especially amongst younger families (in my area anyway). Kourtney Kardashian made it popular.

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 29/09/2015 23:53

Miles. Mason is a bit chav.

lottiegarbanzo · 29/09/2015 23:51

Yes, miles and flora. That's the only point against Miles, if that story happens to be in your mind.

DandyDan · 29/09/2015 22:56

Mason

Miles is in The Turn of the Screw, yes? Totally creepy

Onedirectionarestillloved · 29/09/2015 22:48

Miles.

wigglesrock · 29/09/2015 21:47

Miles but I prefer the spelling Myles

DramaAlpaca · 29/09/2015 21:19

Miles.

Haffdonga · 29/09/2015 20:54

Miles.

Definitely.

Mommagonnaknockyouout · 29/09/2015 20:54

I have a mason

Bellyrub1980 · 29/09/2015 20:53

Mason is more childlike, Miles is more grown up

WillSomebodyThinkOfStefan · 29/09/2015 20:50

Miles is lovely. Mason isn't in the same league.

Miles is posh, Mason is... not.

villainousbroodmare · 29/09/2015 20:33

Miles.

mrsschu · 29/09/2015 20:30

Miles was in my top 2 names for DS (we went with the other name) so obviously you should go with Miles! Seriously though, they're very different names. Mason IMO is very American, trying to be trendy but failing and will date very quickly. Miles is classier and more unusual without being unusual IYSWIM. Miles all the way...

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 29/09/2015 16:37

Miles.

captaincake · 29/09/2015 16:36

In my opinion Miles is an absolutely lovely name Smile

CakeRattleandRoll · 29/09/2015 15:35

Miles. Or Milo.

SmugairleRoin · 29/09/2015 15:08

Mason.

Miles is a bit meh imo.
