Matthew or Myles

[Therightside]

I would love your opinions on these two names.
George will be the middle name. What did you think ? x

I prefer Myles.

Matthew is solid but boring. Like porridge.

Myles

Matthew.

Matthew makes me think of those little boys at National Trust properties in sandals and socks, politely shouting, “Mummay, Mummay,, look at this whatever.” Very, very dull.
Myles/Miles is a bit private school: always at least one in each class.

Myles. Matthew is old fashioned.

I love Matthew! So underused nowadays. Matthias is nice too. I prefer the spelling Miles to Myles, and Milo to Miles.

Matthew is lovely and Myles is awful!

Definitely Matthew. Traditional is always a good shout. Myles sounds rather pretentious and there's loads of nicknames just waiting for him!

Myles, although I prefer Miles as the spelling. On my list. Matthew is dull and feels quite dated to me.

Miles is much nicer and I love Milo.
Matthew is really dull.

Matthew.

Myles is having a bit of a moment and is therefore likely to date badly.

Matthew. Lovely, traditional, classless name. Miles is nowhere near as good.

Miles definitely! I agree, I think Matthew is a little old fashioned now

Sorry but I think they are both quite boring

Matthew.

I think both are lovely, though I prefer Matthew to be abbreviated to Matt. I know a family who have both a Matt and a Myles. Tall, blondish, strong athletic young men, definitely not boring, definitely not National Trust types and never went to private school

“ Matthew makes me think of those little boys at National Trust properties in sandals and socks, politely shouting, “Mummay, Mummay,, look at this whatever.” Very, very dull.”

😂😂😂

Saying that, I absolutely adore Matthew and far prefer it to Myles. Timeless classic.

Definitely Myles - I think it's become cooler in recent years.

I think Matthew is a bit lame.

That's rude .

Matthew is a lovely name

Matthew. Miles is like Isaac/Eva/Mabel/ivy - names that when I were tiny were very old people’s names, but now you can’t move for them. They’ve come back into fashion but will equally date. Watch out in about forty years time for Sharons to come back…

Matthew, like James or Thomas… could be any age. Matt works well. You know where you are with a Matthew.

Nothing rude about it. OP asked 'I would love your opinions on these two names.'

My opinion is that Matthew is solid but boring.

It would only be rude if said to an actual Matthew 'Oi, Matthew, your name is boring'.

Matthew

No competition. Myles is a lovely name although I might spell it Miles.

Matthew

Myles, but I do prefer Miles
