Matthew is my favourite - a handsome classic. Matthew James sounds great.

Matthew.

I’ve met so many dogs called Milo sorry, plus it’s a Nestle malt drink. Not keen on Miles, but it is your baby so go with your gut instinct!

Matthew James - such a handsome classic choice.

Never been a fan of Miles. As a keen runner, it's simply a measurement to me!

Milo is cute on a young boy but I doubt it's a name many men would choose to be called. It's quite babyish. Miles nn Milo could work I guess, to give him a more mature option for when he's older. I stil much prefer Matthew though.

Matthew

Matthew

Less overdone than Milo/Miles right now, although they are nice too

Pjmasksonrepeat · 28/04/2024 18:37

All lovely names. I think Matthew works better with James. We were stuck between Matthew and Marcus.

NewUser1111 · 28/04/2024 18:44

Matthew is great, deserves a comeback.

Miles James is awful - the repetition of the “es” sound really jars

EnglishBluebell · 28/04/2024 18:45

Milo is a dog's name

I love Miles

KirstenBlest · 28/04/2024 18:51

Matthew. I love James as a first name but it's a filler middle name.

Matthew
100% Matthew

Sunnnybunny72 · 28/04/2024 18:53

Matthew

garlictwist · 28/04/2024 18:53

Really dislike Milo

WaltzingWaters · 28/04/2024 18:57

Milo 100%
Matthew is just a bit bleh (but then I’m a 90’s kid so was VERY popular amongst school friends). And Miles I’ve never personally been a fan of. Milo I love, it’s different and not too popular, but not crazy and out there.

Really dislike Milo

Me too. I like Miles but not Myles.

productiony · 28/04/2024 19:09

Love Matthew and Matt and Matty

Miles / Milo is very 2020s/ will date badly.

RuthW · 28/04/2024 19:51

I prefer Milo

Matthew. All day long. The most beautiful man I know, inside and definitely outside is Matthew.

Theedgeoftheabyss · 28/04/2024 19:56

My boy is a Matthew. Mattie. Solid name.

aintnospringchicken · 28/04/2024 20:20

Prefer Matthew

Goonergirl14 · 28/04/2024 20:28

Matthew James..I have one..🙂

Namechangedasouting987 · 28/04/2024 20:30

Matthew. Mine is an amazing human! And it's a classic name and sounds great with James. Also the shortening to Matt is great for friends.

Liv999 · 28/04/2024 22:28

Matthew, really dislike Milo and Miles, just awful

Kingstondream · 29/04/2024 18:14

Thank you all for voting .Matthew is clearly the top choice, we do love the name ❤️

The same here, it must be a Matthew thing!
