Any thoughts really finding it hard to pick a boys name

Jed or Miles. My youngest is called Miles and my eldest initials make up Jed (named after my favourite dog - ok that might put you off a bit!)

Miles

Mollie272 · 27/07/2013 00:47

I like Jed the best I think.

Alisvolatpropiis · 27/07/2013 00:56

Miles.

It's just got something about it. Also have the option of Milo when he's little.

geologygirl · 27/07/2013 01:01

Caleb is lovely

FunInTheSunD · 27/07/2013 01:03

Love the name Caleb... Like Jed, but isn't it short for Jeremy?

sleepingbeautiful · 27/07/2013 04:08

My favourite name of those is Miles, but I do know a Jed and he is a really handsome, cool guy so I only have good impressions of that name.
Not a fan of Caleb. For some reason it resonates with me as a 'baddie' name?!
Ashton = Ashton Kutcher, yuck. Like Asher though.

SelectAUserName · 27/07/2013 05:09

Ashton or Miles. I know a little Ashton and he's fab, and Ash is a cool NN.

Jed makes me think of the Clampetts and Caleb is the evil preacher from Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Wbdn28 · 27/07/2013 12:15

Ashton or Miles.

susiedaisy · 27/07/2013 12:18

Caleb

Moxiegirl · 27/07/2013 12:23

Jed or Ashton sound like good teenage boy names, Miles not so much but cute on a little boy...not sure how I feel about Caleb, not so keen.
I vote Jed Smile

BlueStarsAtNight · 27/07/2013 13:42

I like Miles or Jed. Caleb is ok, not keen on Ashton at all though.

MrsJamin · 27/07/2013 14:02

Caleb!

Jemimapuddleduk · 27/07/2013 14:33

Miles

Thanks for your thoughts

Just can't decide, we can't agree. !

I know one Jed and he is beyond cool Wink

fluffyraggies · 28/07/2013 19:02

I like Miles. It sounds strong, and handsome to me - like a Max.

Caleb i find very religious sounding. Don't know if it is.
Jed - short for what? I feel it needs back up somehow. lol. Jedwood!? Arrgghh.
Ashton's a bit trendy American for me. But not unpleasant.

Bowlersarm · 28/07/2013 19:02

Miles

hurricanemum · 28/07/2013 19:50

Caleb for me. On.y ever met one.

Littlecherublegs · 28/07/2013 20:11

Caleb, definitely!

Not keen on Jed though quite like Jared which I guess it could be short for.

Ashton is ok as are Asher & Austin.

Really dislike Miles.

EatYourCrusts · 28/07/2013 20:13

Caleb or Miles!

formicadinosaur · 30/07/2013 10:31

Jed or miles. The other two are a bit rough sounding

zingally · 30/07/2013 14:45

Ashton or Miles if I had to choose.

They are all a bit Americanised for me, personally. Plus Miles and Ashton are surnames really.

Leeds2 · 30/07/2013 17:03

Jed

TallulahBetty · 30/07/2013 19:52

Ashton. Don't like the others.
