Which one for a baby boy? We are looking for unusual boy names beginning with M. James will remain as MN. Siblings are brother Ezra John & sister Winter Victoria. Thanks :)

Neither.

James is lovely.

Maddox. Milan sounds feminine to me.

Though would prefer Miller, Michael or Myles to either of them.

Maddox is the name of one of Angelina Jolie's sons and for that reason alone, I wouldn't choose it. Milan sounds too much like Alan, which is a very dull name. Ezra and Winter are lovely names for your other children. Any reason why the name has to begin with M?

Of those 2 I prefer Maddox. Unless you have some kind of special link with Milan (he was conceived there or great gran was from there or that's where your honeymoon was etc) it's not a great name.
Personally I'm not a fan of Maddox but if you like it then it's the better of the two.

I prefer Maddox from these two, but like Myles, Milo or Maxwell better

They're both awful in different ways.
How about Macsen? It's Welsh.

I’d go for Malcolm if you’re looking for unusual - that 2 names are a lot mair common.
