I like it and prefer the Myles spelling actually; Miles reminds me of distance. 😂
It's YOUR baby so if you both love the name go for it - after all you and the father will be saying it the most!

I like it and prefer Myles to miles

Longdarkcloud · 23/05/2023 23:15

I like Myles but think I prefer Giles.
What about Niles?
Noel
Felix
Hugo
Or my favourite Ptolemy!

I knew a Myles once. He was lush. “Myles with a y, to be arty.”

Yiles

Miles of Smiles 😃
Michael?
Kyle?
Lyall?

Miles Franklin sounds well.

GoodVibesHere · 17/05/2023 19:24

How about Mylo, or Nile

What other measurements are names? Confused inches? Yard? 'My little boy cm?'

Show quote history

Lol I wondered this but there are some which were names first...? Like Joules and Watt

Fwiw I like both Miles and Joules

Other plurals:
Giles as I mentioned before
James
Charles
I taught a Georges once

Dreadful. I'm not a fan of units of measurement for names. The "y" spelling makes it even worse.

Elspethelf · 17/05/2023 09:22

I love it. Short boy names that end in S just resonate with me. I do prefer the spelling Miles. Others that fit this are;

James
Banks
Brooks
Tomas
Lewis

i named my son Mars :)

Zola1 · 17/05/2023 09:21

Noah, Oliver, Theo, Caleb?

Zola1 · 17/05/2023 09:18

Hate it...but I've known one who was horrendous

Berlinlover · 17/05/2023 09:16

I’ve only ever seen this name spelled as Myles, I wasn’t even aware there was a Miles version.

SadCelticBunny · 17/05/2023 09:12

Having met several men and boys called Miles who are all lovely, I really like it.

Benedict
Hugh
Hugo
Luke
Lucus
Marcus
Timothy

I think the names above all have a similar feel to Miles,

Ok thanks all. Any other suggestions similar?

Sorry OP but I think it's really terrible, doesn't matter which way it's spelt, Milo is even worse

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 16/05/2023 21:35

Like it and prefer the Myles spelling. Go for it OP!

AsphaltGirl · 16/05/2023 21:31

I don't think this thread is for me, because I think that Myles, Miles, Giles and Milo are all laughably awful.

ourflagmeansdeath · 16/05/2023 21:29

It's nice enough but not my favourite. Don't really have a specific preference with the Miles/Myles thing but where I am Miles is more popular although it isn't as if Myles would raise a ton of eyebrows.

ComeTheFuckOnBridgett · 16/05/2023 20:54

I don't love it.

Blip · 16/05/2023 20:52

Howabout Moyle

PickledScrump · 16/05/2023 20:30

I prefer Miles

Luredbyapomegranate · 16/05/2023 20:02

I really like it, and the spelling.

He will have to correct it from Miles a bit.

Jemimapuddleduk · 16/05/2023 19:37

Absolutely love it!! Prefer sp miles, nickname Milo x

Mummy08m · 16/05/2023 19:36

There's also Giles which is underused. I taught a lovely student called Giles once.
