I prefer Mason Smile although Miles is probably less popular at the moment (I think) x

lottiegarbanzo · 29/09/2015 14:23

I think they are very different types of name. Miles is lovely IMO. Mason not.

MyNameIsRonnieFuckingPickering · 29/09/2015 14:27

Miles.

By a long way. Miles in fact. Ho ho.

Indole · 29/09/2015 14:29

Miles. Lovely name.

KoalaDownUnder · 29/09/2015 14:33

Miles!!!

Classy, classic, underused.

I don't like -son named in general (Harrison, Jason, Jackson, Madison, etc.)

Minimaus · 29/09/2015 14:33

Miles is the plural of Mile, like Kilometres is to Kilometre Smile

I'd choose Mason out of the two, although I'm not keen on either, sorry.

SmugairleRoin · 29/09/2015 15:08

Mason.

Miles is a bit meh imo.

CakeRattleandRoll · 29/09/2015 15:35

Miles. Or Milo.

captaincake · 29/09/2015 16:36

In my opinion Miles is an absolutely lovely name Smile

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 29/09/2015 16:37

Miles.

mrsschu · 29/09/2015 20:30

Miles was in my top 2 names for DS (we went with the other name) so obviously you should go with Miles! Seriously though, they're very different names. Mason IMO is very American, trying to be trendy but failing and will date very quickly. Miles is classier and more unusual without being unusual IYSWIM. Miles all the way...

villainousbroodmare · 29/09/2015 20:33

Miles.

sofato5miles · 29/09/2015 20:37

Miles is posh, Mason is... not.

Miles is lovely. Mason isn't in the same league.

Bellyrub1980 · 29/09/2015 20:53

Mason is more childlike, Miles is more grown up

Mommagonnaknockyouout · 29/09/2015 20:54

I have a mason

Haffdonga · 29/09/2015 20:54

Miles.

Definitely.

DramaAlpaca · 29/09/2015 21:19

Miles.

wigglesrock · 29/09/2015 21:47

Miles but I prefer the spelling Myles

Onedirectionarestillloved · 29/09/2015 22:48

Miles.

DandyDan · 29/09/2015 22:56

Mason

Miles is in The Turn of the Screw, yes? Totally creepy

lottiegarbanzo · 29/09/2015 23:51

Yes, miles and flora. That's the only point against Miles, if that story happens to be in your mind.

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 29/09/2015 23:53

Miles. Mason is a bit chav.

exoticjuicedrink · 29/09/2015 23:56

Mason is so over used now. Especially amongst younger families (in my area anyway). Kourtney Kardashian made it popular.
