Twin for Miles

Hi,
Due boy girl twins soon, and have chosen Miles for the boy. We would like for the names to match in some way (same letter/meaning etc.). Any suggestions for girls names to match with Miles would be great thanks!
(Also, Miles or Myles, not quite decided yet?!)

I see this is an old thread but just noticed.

@cupcakes99 what did you choose in the end?

cravingtoblerone · 23/01/2023 18:49

Definitely Miles over Myles

Personally I think having twins with the same initial is a bit too samey-samey - plus a logistical headache when it comes to paperwork, receiving mail etc.

But I like all these in combo with Miles.

Love Miles!
I think a name with a Roman/Latin vibe would work. Love:

Miles and Juno
Miles and Laurel
Miles and Marina

Miles and Emily

Miles is lovely.

Lots of people suggesting M names on here but having twins with the same initial feels too matchy-matchy IMO.

It's a simple, classy name so I think you should go for a girls name in a similar style.

Miles and Lara
Miles and Sophie
Miles and Lucy
Miles and Anya
Miles and Alice.

Miles and Matilda
Miles and Maria

or my absolute favourite, Miles and Madeleine

I know siblings called Miles and Madeline! Lovely combination

PleaseYourselfandEatTheCrusts · 20/08/2022 23:12

Miles and Simone?

MerryChristmasToYou · 18/08/2022 22:24

Miles and Julia (Jules)
Miles and Jill (or Gillian)
would sound like units of measurements

SundayTeatime · 18/08/2022 19:50

Laura? From laurel, representing victory and strength.

SundayTeatime · 18/08/2022 19:48

I don’t think you can have Flora, which is a shame, as I like the name. It’s too Turn of the Screw.

Marnie
Edith
jemima
clementine
audrey
willa

FourChimneys · 18/08/2022 17:41

Don't go for a name starting with M. Their initial letter will become very important to them and having a different one will help foster individuality.

Make sure the names work both ways, Miles and Emily, Emily and Miles. Also make sure you and everyone else varies the order all the time.

Miles and Katie
Miles and Clara
Miles and Julia

Gillyx · 18/08/2022 17:33

I personally wouldn’t choose another M name or something that sounds too similar!

Miles & Saskia
Miles & Tabitha
Miles & Beatrice/Beatrix
Miles & Autumn

ODFOx · 18/08/2022 14:20

Miles and Maisie (Uncle Buck)

Cindie943811A · 18/08/2022 14:19

The origin of the name Miles / Myles is quite diverse. The two principal meanings are
soldier and merciful.
So if you are going for similar meanings then
Mercy or Grace or Anya /Anja
Ailith = OE warrior
Maia = Brave warrior
Truda = fierce warrior

DaisyJoy1 · 18/08/2022 06:48

Miles and Flora are perfect! Although these are the main characters of a very famous piece of literature (a ghost story which has recently been made into a popular Netflix series) so people might think you're a big fan of ghost stories!

Thanks for all your help! So far i’m liking:
Stella
Margot
Luna
Flora

Stella or Flora would be nice.

Don't go for a "M" name. Your twins are individuals, they don't need to match.
Chrissy Teigen has children called Miles and Luna so I'd rule Luna out.

Miles and Martha? Maybe a bit twee but I love the name Martha! Or
Miles and Jenny
