Already have a Miles. I want to use an M name. Is Micah too similar?

Mac- very cool, not overused, like a lot.

Maxim- much nicer version of Maxwell/Maximilian.

I think Morgan is more of a female name in UK too.

Martha, Mac is great ! ❤️

Try the Welsh version? Macsen. Can be Macs (Max) as a nickname.

RuthB4 · 10/03/2017 06:48

Moses is nice! Max is lovely, but yes maybe too popular for you.

I'm not personally a fan of Mac but it does go well with Miles.

Thanks everyone! I love Moses! Maybe with nick name Moe! Morgan is also good but I'm in the US and it's usually a girl's name here. I like Max ( not so much Maxwell) but I typically am more interested less used names.
What are you thoughts on Mac?

But I would avoid another M

I work with a Micah, he's gormless! :)

JanuaryJuniper · 01/03/2017 22:14

Do you like any of the suggestions as this might help posters get an idea of your preferred style!

Mrsknackered · 01/03/2017 22:05

Love Moses but would say it's more similar to Miles and Micah.
If Micah is Mee-kah I would go for it.
Malachi is also a lovely name and I really love Morgan as it's a family name but not sure if I'd like it otherwise!

Ah, I see.

Betty's suggestions are all nice.

In my religion's tradition you use the first letter of the deceased's name as the first letter of the baby's name.

Matthew, Marcus, Max all work well with Miles.

HelenDenver · 01/03/2017 09:38

Could you use your relative's name as a middle name?

HelenDenver · 01/03/2017 09:38

So if the relative (sorry for your loss) was Micah, using Marcus wouldn't be "naming after"...?

Marcus is lovely though!

HelenDenver · 01/03/2017 09:37

Yes, too similar.

But don't understand the naming after part.

I have a Myles.
Personally I would avoid another M name.

JanuaryJuniper · 01/03/2017 00:15

Oh LOVE Moses as a previous poster suggested!!
