Sibling for Miles

We have DS2 who is Miles , pregnant with 2nd and struggling for names. We don’t know gender and won’t find out so need options for both.
We like names that aren’t really popular but everyone has heard. We really like Miles as we thought it ticked both boxes but can’t seem to come up with anything this time around.

Love the name Miles - one of my absolute faves. For some reason I find girl names tricky, so boy options only here...

Take a good luck at the ONS annual names lists because the names you think are popular might not be, and vice versa (www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsdeathsandmarriages/livebirths/bulletins/babynamesenglandandwales/2021).

Jane and Maud, both of which I love, are below 2000!
On the boys list, names about as popular as Miles (just outside top 100) would be: Luke, Patrick, Leon, Robin.

KirstenBlest · 26/08/2023 11:26

Good look, even. Smile
The ONS page also has a how popular a name is in your area, if it is in the top 100. A name might be very popular in your area because of a local connection, but hardly used elsewhere, or because a few new parents have heard the name and liked it, whereas new parents who hadn't heard it on a baby might think it too unusual.

Darkgreener will show a graph of the popularity of the name between 1996 and 2021. If you use it, look at alternative spellings and similar names too.
Babies called Miles in England & Wales since 1996 (darkgreener.com)
Babies called Myles in England & Wales since 1996 (darkgreener.com)
Babies called Milo in England & Wales since 1996 (darkgreener.com)

The ONS only shows data for England and Wales. Darkgreener uses the ONS stats. The lists for most popular names in other parts of the UK are different.

Loads of girls names there that I love so thank you - Xanthe, Thalia, Orla, Felicity, Rosa, Nina, Arabella and Imogen.

I like Jasper and Ralph but think I’ll struggle to get them past DH. Nothing else is jumping out at me for boys.

Arabella has to be one of my favourite names of all time! It’s so melodic.

Names with a similar aura to your girls names that haven’t been mentioned yet:
Julian
Dominic
Edmund (I love the nickname ‘Ned’)
Quentin (I love this as it reminds me of the astounding illustrator)
Raphael (similar feel to Ralph)
Vincent
Wilfred
Pip (could be short for Phillip or Pippin)
Anthony
Cecil
Nicholas
Edwin (could also be ‘Ned’)
Emrys (just adding it because I love the name not because it’s similar)
Atticus (sorry if it’s too unusual)
Russell
Ivan
Adrian
Fraser
Stanley
Soren
Monty (short for Montgomery/Montague or just Monty)
