I really like it.

fleshmarketclose · 21/05/2018 09:59

I like it but know the cutest toddler named Miles so might be biased.

theycallmebabydriver · 21/05/2018 10:02

Love Miles.

If our baby girl was a boy she'd be Miles Edward or Edward Miles

There will be lots now because of John Legend's new baby . . . but it is very nice!

InkSnail · 21/05/2018 10:16

I like it.

Secretusernamex · 21/05/2018 10:20

I love it, on my list! But i prefer the spelling Myles :)

Sophronia · 21/05/2018 10:31

Yes Secret I wasn’t sure which spelling I prefer either. Which is the more traditional way?

I love Miles and quite like Milo as a pet name.

MammieBear · 21/05/2018 11:14

Good choice

thetriangleisarealinstrument · 21/05/2018 11:14

I really like that name!

QueenofSerene · 21/05/2018 11:16

I love Miles, it’s one of my sons middle names (albeit spelt Myles as it’s a family name so I stuck with that spelling) and I’ve met a handful of lovely men named Miles too.

userabcname · 21/05/2018 11:18

Love it!

Blondie87 · 21/05/2018 12:13

Love it! Particularly spelt ‘Miles’ but either way it’s a great name.

Blondie87 · 21/05/2018 12:16

Miles is more traditional, Myles has Irish roots. Either spelling looks fine and it’s such a lovely, underused boy’s name.

I really wanted Milo but DP didn’t. Could Milo be a nn for Miles? If so I think that’s made my mind up 100%!

Milo can definitely be a nn for Miles imo.

AmazingPostVoices · 21/05/2018 12:49

It’s a great name

userabcname · 21/05/2018 13:01

Definitely could have Milo for a nn (which is what I would do if I chose Miles).

DrinkYourGreenTea · 21/05/2018 13:45

It’s okay. A bit posh-try hard IMO.

AmazingPostVoices · 21/05/2018 13:55

Since when did Miles become “posh try hard?” It’s a perfectly ordinary name.

Jemimapuddleduk · 21/05/2018 14:01

Adore it.

Sessy19 · 21/05/2018 18:47

There’s a ‘Miles’ in Made in Chelsea (guilty!) I wouldn’t have thought the ‘try too hard’ clique would include it with their Montys, Georges, and Harrys...

mendelssohn19 · 21/05/2018 19:44

I did like it but my dnephew started rhyming stuff with it when I suggested it
