Lucas or Miles?

DH has finally started to engage with baby names and has brought Lucas to the table. I like the name but I still think Miles is the top contender for me.

Which do you prefer, Lucas or Miles?

Prefer Lucas.

But Lucas Miles is a nice name so could use both?

Miles! I like both but Miles is a fave of mine...

Miles is lovely. It’s feels traditional but still not very common.
I hear Lucas a fair bit.

Both are super names. Really lovely and slightly posh.
Id be happy with either a Lucas or a Miles
