So baby is here and is a boy. Current thinking is Daniel or Miles. Or possibly Milo. Any thoughts?
Not sure can imagine shouting Miles across a playground. Quite like nicknames of Daniel. But there are lots of them around.

I love Daniel, Miles would be my second choice. Congratulations x

I love Daniel, it’s classic and timeless.

No to Milo.

Miles with Milo as a diminutive.

Miles. Daniel is so boring. An Milo just reminds me of the Tweenies.

I have to say, I have rarely come across the name Miles in all the baby groups/school. I love it!!

Daniel is inoffensive but dull. Miles is quite nice. Milo is too twee(nie).

Haworthia · 03/02/2019 20:22

Daniel really is dull. Go for Miles or Milo.

Thanks, seem to be leaning towards Miles. I think it is growing on me - husband's choice. Surname is a xxxson type name and would use the other one as middle name. There is some family tradition of using middle names so could switch later if wanted

Daniel. Miles is terribly wet. Milo - just no.
