Jack - ok but I know lots of them
George - ok
Charles/nn Charlie - love it
Ethan - not keen
Myles - don't like this spelling, but Miles is ok

The only one I'd consider using is Charlie

Purely subjective opinion:

I like Charles and Miles (I would use that spelling, unless Myles is a family name).

Also quite like Ethan but I think it’s one of those names that became popular very quickly in English-speaking countries so it may seem tied to a specific time or age.

Nothing wrong with George, either - it's a solid classic, just not my personal taste.

Not a fan of Jack, except maybe as a shortname for John, Jonathan, Jackson, etc. It just somehow feels too informal/limited/nickname-ish, although I know it's popular as a stand-alone name.

Love Ethan the best out of your choices.
Do you have a middle name planned? Does it ‘go’ with your surname?
Ethan George or Ethan Jack

All good, apart from Ethan.

Don't get the MIL involved if she'll be funny if you don't choose her fave.

Ethan or Miles

I love the name George! I like Myles and Ethan too.

Maui69 · 18/09/2021 13:42

George and Charles are lovely. Don't like the others.

fuzzymoomin · 18/09/2021 13:40

I love Ethan. Not really a fan of Myles. The other three are ok.

Hlc98 · 18/09/2021 13:40

I love the name Myles but I think I’d also spell it Miles x

BikeRunSki · 18/09/2021 13:39

Myles is the most distinctive, although I’d spell it Miles.

brightwave · 18/09/2021 13:38

George & Charles are lovely

Mommabear20 · 18/09/2021 13:35

I love Jack ❤️
The others are okay IMO but not keen on Myles
