Dreadful. I'm not a fan of units of measurement for names. The "y" spelling makes it even worse.

Thanks

@PurpleChrayne it's an ancient name not a measurement

The name Miles is nice, but with Myles, the poor lad will forever be correcting people's spelling of it.

I would automatically spell it with a Y.

I don’t love it but the spelling Miles is better. I prefer Milo.

There's also Giles which is underused. I taught a lovely student called Giles once.

It's nice enough but not my favourite. Don't really have a specific preference with the Miles/Myles thing but where I am Miles is more popular although it isn't as if Myles would raise a ton of eyebrows.

I don't think this thread is for me, because I think that Myles, Miles, Giles and Milo are all laughably awful.

Sorry OP but I think it's really terrible, doesn't matter which way it's spelt, Milo is even worse

Having met several men and boys called Miles who are all lovely, I really like it.

Benedict
Hugh
Hugo
Luke
Lucus
Marcus
Timothy

I think the names above all have a similar feel to Miles,
