Daniel vs Miles / Milo

So baby is here and is a boy. Current thinking is Daniel or Miles. Or possibly Milo. Any thoughts?
Not sure can imagine shouting Miles across a playground. Quite like nicknames of Daniel. But there are lots of them around.

Miles or Milo!

Don't like Daniel (especially not Danny)

I like Daniel and would likely call him Danny right from the start!

Milo is awful.
Miles and Daniel are both perfectly nice names.

Congratulations OP!

Definitely Daniel.

Daniel and Miles are lovely, especially Miles. Milo is quite trendy at the moment so there are likely to be a few in the class.

I like Miles!

Miles is fantastic. Congratulations!

Miles is great. I like Daniel too but not Dan. Don’t like Milo.

I like Daniel. Not a fan of Miles or Milo.

tammytoby · 03/02/2019 13:32

Miles.

Daniel is boring and I dislike Dan

MikeUniformMike · 03/02/2019 13:09

Miles. Daniel is fine. Don't like Milo.

Miles. I like Daniel too, but it's just a tad dull. Not Milo. You could use that as a nickname, though. Congrats.

Triffictriffid · 03/02/2019 12:37

Congratulations Flowers. I love Miles. You could have Milo/Miley as nn if you wanted I reckon. Daniel is good too but as you say there’s a lot of them about. I always liked Niles (big Frasier fan here).

Imo Daniel is a bit wet.
Milo is a Tweeny.
Miles it is.
