Myles or Alfie

[LittleBrownBaby]

We were set on Alfie - but We now really like Myles. Our other children have quite classic names - Myles would be "out there" compared to the other kids!

Miles

Myles. Alfie is just awful. Alfred is ok.

Miles is lovely - I very nearly called my son Giles (family name).

Alfie is so overused and actually not a great name.

Myles or Miles (I actually prefer it with the y). I don't see it as an 'out there' name at all, with either spelling.

Miles! Alfie is so overused and dull now

Right Miles / Myles is the winner! Thank you. The kids prefer it too

I prefer Miles - Alfie is too nickname-y for me to be a full name. I know the Sussexes did this with Archie but I'm still not a fan.

Myles with a y will be constantly spelling it for others.

As you said your other DC have royal type names why not Alfred as the full name with nn Alfie? Alfred the Great then fits the royal theme.
If you do go with Miles, 100% spell it with an i.

Miles or Alfred. Alfie is awful and I cannot hear it without my brain filling in “army” at the end (after that poor boy whose parents took the hospital to court to stop them removing his life support).

I prefer Alfie or Albie to be a bit different. Miles is a bit stuck up where I’m from.

Miles is my preference. It’s a quirky classic.

Miles with an i.

Every time!

We have an Alfred which has ended up being shortened to Alfie - I’m yet to meet another one and he’s 3 now.

Can’t stand Myles, sorry 🙈 but not my baby so doesn’t matter! (I don’t like Miles either fwiw)

I like both!! Alfie Miles flows quite nicely too!
