Brother for Miles?

33 replies

Rjd13 · 04/07/2019 16:18

We are the fussiest people when it comes to boys names. The only names we liked for DS1 were Miles and James (which we used as his middle name).

Perhaps someone can suggest a name we havent considered? Don't like popular names e.g george, oliver etc and don't like modern names like Jaxon.
🙏🙏🙏

Rupert or Jude

We considered Miles for our son, we went with Jude. I think they sound really nice together. I don’t think Ethan is anywhere near as nice as Miles. I also like Eden for a boy but I worry it’s more associated with girls now.

I like Piers with Miles. Not sure why, but I have always thought of the two names going well together (perhaps 50 years ago I read a book that had them both in and it has somehow stuck)!

Jude is great, and not too feminine.

grufallosfriends · 06/07/2019 12:33

I like Miles and Ethan, Quentin or Robin.

I like Ethan but not sure if it's a bit ordinary for me. I love Eden particularly for a boy but wonder if we'll be constantly explaining that it's unisex. Jude is a front runner but have a nagging voice that says it's too feminine... I hate these sorts of things because I wouldn't think any of this for other people's kids. Robin also a contender but I don't like Rob 🙈

Patrick
Seth
Adam

Charles as a mn.

That’s funny- the only Miles I know has a brother called Jamie. Not much use for you if you’ve already used James as the middle name though!

Hmmm maybe not Magnus as two Ms

PrincessLouis · 05/07/2019 18:52

Miles has got a lovely Four Weddings-type vibe. Rupert (Roo)? Hugh / Hugo? Toby? Lawrence?

From lists above I second Sebastian, Edmund, Guy, Magnus

Let us know which you are running past DH!

I love Miles, I also think Peter is an underused name in a similar vein, agree with pp re Oscar .
