Twin for Miles

Hi,
Due boy girl twins soon, and have chosen Miles for the boy. We would like for the names to match in some way (same letter/meaning etc.). Any suggestions for girls names to match with Miles would be great thanks!
(Also, Miles or Myles, not quite decided yet?!)

Miles and Hannah
Miles and Freya

Miles and Flora are both lovely but is a bit too Henry James

Miles and Margot too matchy-matchy. I don't like Margot or Luna.
Stella is a good choice

My first thought, thank you for not letting me be the only one!

Although Luna is a nice name, it's the nice name of a great many labradors and poodlydoodles round our area.

Miles and Freya or Miles and Anna sound good to me, but does your surname sound OK with those?

BobMortimersPocketMeat · 17/08/2022 12:00

Miles and Maisie.

Especially if you have a brother called Buck.

Miles and Mabel

Oh yes

pitterypattery00 · 17/08/2022 15:34

I know a Myles with sisters Millie and Madeleine. A bit too many Ms for my taste though.

I prefer Myles spelling as to me it looks like a name more than Miles which looks the unit of distance if that makes sense!

Suggestions
Myles and Ruby
Myles and Merryn
Myles and Claudia
Myles and Lydia
Myles and Julia
Myles and Charlotte
Myles and Grace
Myles and Marnie

Thanks for all your help! So far i’m liking:
Stella
Margot
Luna
Flora

Stella or Flora would be nice.

Don't go for a "M" name. Your twins are individuals, they don't need to match.
Chrissy Teigen has children called Miles and Luna so I'd rule Luna out.

DaisyJoy1 · 18/08/2022 06:48

Miles and Flora are perfect! Although these are the main characters of a very famous piece of literature (a ghost story which has recently been made into a popular Netflix series) so people might think you're a big fan of ghost stories!

Cindie943811A · 18/08/2022 14:19

The origin of the name Miles / Myles is quite diverse. The two principal meanings are
soldier and merciful.
So if you are going for similar meanings then
Mercy or Grace or Anya /Anja
Ailith = OE warrior
Maia = Brave warrior
Truda = fierce warrior

ODFOx · 18/08/2022 14:20

Miles and Maisie (Uncle Buck)

Gillyx · 18/08/2022 17:33

I personally wouldn’t choose another M name or something that sounds too similar!

Miles & Saskia
Miles & Tabitha
Miles & Beatrice/Beatrix
Miles & Autumn

FourChimneys · 18/08/2022 17:41

Don't go for a name starting with M. Their initial letter will become very important to them and having a different one will help foster individuality.

Make sure the names work both ways, Miles and Emily, Emily and Miles. Also make sure you and everyone else varies the order all the time.

Miles and Katie
Miles and Clara
Miles and Julia

SundayTeatime · 18/08/2022 19:48

I don’t think you can have Flora, which is a shame, as I like the name. It’s too Turn of the Screw.

SundayTeatime · 18/08/2022 19:50

Laura? From laurel, representing victory and strength.
