Miles is nice but I knew a very naughty one in my teens! Dexter?

just realised I never came back, not that anyone was on tenterhooks waiting, but we went for Miles!

Consensus from friends and family has been good although not sure they would have said otherwise 🤣

thanks everyone!!

Congratulations!

Miles is a good name and “goes” with his siblings (without being matchy!).

(You definitely went with the best option imo!)

As usual, first post nails it!

I quite like Miles. The other 2 are surnames really.

And Brooks, as in Brooks Brothers, is a well-known clothing chain in the US.

I have never heard it with the s as a first name.

StationJack · 07/05/2026 17:55

Ignore my pp. Miles is great. Congratulations.

Miles fits well

Beautifulsunflowers · 26/10/2025 07:23

Darcie, Spencer and ……

not keen on Miles although that’s just my personal opinion

my first thought was Oakley - seems to fit with the other children’s names - has the same vibe!!

Other siggestions

Toby
Benjamin
Joseph

MummytoE · 25/10/2025 22:27

I think you need a short one syllable name. Joe for example , although that doesn't really fit with your theme. Darcy Spencer and Beau?

Moveoverdarlin · 25/10/2025 22:22

They are all surnames to me. Miles, Dempsey and Brooks sounds like a solictors.

motleymop · 25/10/2025 22:21

I like Miles and think it goes well.
Have you considered Mark?

ButtonMushrooms · 25/10/2025 22:18

I vote for Miles too.

Firebird83 · 25/10/2025 22:16

Miles

Other ideas..
Bourke
Flynn
Patrick
Gilbert

Vitriolinsanity · 25/10/2025 10:27

Of the 3 on your list Miles. I prefer Milo with your other names though.

DanielleVanWyk · 25/10/2025 02:40

I vote Miles :)

LivingTheDreamish · 25/10/2025 02:27

I like Miles with your other DC names.

Flannelfeet · 24/10/2025 21:39

Darcie,Spencer and Harris

Silverbirchleaf · 24/10/2025 21:37

Miles - choose this or Milo
Dempsey - surname, Dempsey and Makepeace (tv programme)
Brooks - Brooke’s is a female name

Suggestions-
Giles
Fraser
Sebastian
Felix
Richard
Flynn
Timothy
Nicholas
