I like it! Prefer Miles to Myles. Don't think it sounds posh!

Its a bit too foppish for my tastes

Tobagostreet · 25/04/2013 22:13

Love it - reminds me of the dishy one from 'This Life'.

My son is called Dexter Miles and I would have been happy with Miles as a first name.I also liked Piers and Giles.

BuntyPenfold · 25/04/2013 22:15

Love it, also Piers and Giles.

fromheretomaternity · 25/04/2013 22:17

Like it!

In the UK/US, where distance is measured in miles, it would be like naming your child Kilometres Grin. Don't like it as a name, sorry.

Giles works better as a name imo.

Love it - Miles Davis!

Don't think it would be confused with miles / kilometres!

thegreylady · 25/04/2013 22:33

Great name and prefer Miles spelt like that the other looks made up.
Guy is nice too.

thermalsinapril · 25/04/2013 23:13

Love it!

I know a massive Geordie Shore type called Miles - not posh at all! I love it!

SconeRhymesWithGone · 25/04/2013 23:57

Miles is one of my favorite names.

littleginger · 26/04/2013 00:09

Thumbs up!

I went to primary with a Miles Mitten, cute name

Jemimapuddleduk · 26/04/2013 00:50

Love it. Prefer it spelt Miles. Lovely nickname potential of Milo or Miley when little.

I have a Myles...old family name. My grandad & cousin were also Myles'.

I decided to use the y instead of i as that is the was my grandad's name was spelt.
