Brother for Miles?

33 replies

Rjd13 · 04/07/2019 16:18

We are the fussiest people when it comes to boys names. The only names we liked for DS1 were Miles and James (which we used as his middle name).

Perhaps someone can suggest a name we havent considered? Don't like popular names e.g george, oliver etc and don't like modern names like Jaxon.
🙏🙏🙏

The Miles I know has a baby brother called Flynn.

I love Miles, I also think Peter is an underused name in a similar vein, agree with pp re Oscar .
