I dislike all boys names it seems, literally sifted through thousands and thousands. I feel like I've seen every boys name possible and can't believe i can't find any I like!

I have two that I don't mind -

Miles
Killian

Which do you prefer? And feel free to add a suggestion. Baby will very likely have blue eyes and blond hair if that makes a difference.

Miles. 100%. I like it spelt Myles too. And Milo is cute

MikeUniformMike · 17/02/2020 17:43

Miles but I don't like Milo or Myles.
Killian looks like Kill Ian, or Gillian.

LittleBoyJuly2020 · 17/02/2020 17:46

@MikeUniformMike never noticed the Kill Ian before! Hmm I'm going off it now

Miles is sweet and definitely much better than Killian.

DapperChap · 17/02/2020 17:49

Miles is nice, how about Kovner.

Marlena1 · 17/02/2020 17:49

You can spell it "Cillian" which is the Irish way if you don't like the "kill" bit

Miles!!! Great name
Other name sounds like Gillian

Whatsyourflava · 17/02/2020 18:03

I love Miles too so maybe you might like some of the other names I like (although as you’ve looked at thousands I expect you’ve already rules all these out):

Christopher nn Kit
Wilf(red) - Wilf
Barnaby -Barns/Barney
Nathan/Nathaniel - Nate
Rafferty / Raffy
Sidney - Sid

Other ideas:

Eli
Ellis
Seth
Cole
Otis
Otto
Eric
Casper
Rudy/Rudi
Dexter
Blake
Angus
Dominic
Idris
Percy
Chester
Caleb

I love Miles.

Josie465 · 18/02/2020 06:38

Miles definitely

Lavenderblues · 18/02/2020 07:39

Isn't Miles used as a unit of measurement in the UK? Road signs also refer to miles etc? Like Kilometres in other countries?

I much prefer Killian or Cillian. Great strong name.

Omashu · 18/02/2020 09:09

@Lavenderblues yes it is, but it’s also a well known name.

Singingatmidnight · 18/02/2020 09:36

I knew a lovely Miles. (Very well known name, from the Latin miles = soldier.)

Cillian with a C is lovely though

OnABeachSomewhere · 18/02/2020 09:58

I like Miles.

Alistair
Jonathan
William
Orson
Leonard
Solomon
Julian
Oswald
Cassius
Daniel
Andrew

Mamabear88 · 18/02/2020 09:59

Miles was on my list if we had a boy. Lovely.

Rewy · 18/02/2020 10:03

Miles

LittleBoyJuly2020 · 18/02/2020 10:13

Miles is becoming my firm favourite, thanks everyone Smile

What about Milan pronounced ‘Meelan’

mytypeonpaper · 18/02/2020 18:45

Miles

mytypeonpaper · 18/02/2020 18:46

I know a few boy Miles and they're all spelt Myles though. Maybe something to consider
