First child, baby boy due August.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Makes me think of the song “Oh, Miles” by Lane 8. Pretty song.

I like Miles but don't like Myles.

Love Myles, wish I used it. I prefer the spelling with the Y, think it looks nicer but fundamentally its the same name so doesn’t matter

Sorry out of interest how do you know so early that you are due a boy in August?

Not in the UK @momahoho1 its
illegal to find out gender in preimplantation genetic testing

I prefer Milo

@Bumblebeehee You can find out if you preimplantation genetic testing.

Not in the UK/EU, you can't, it's illegal. You can do the NIPT at 10 weeks - I can't work out if OP is more Ethan 10 weeks.

I like it with the Miles spelling

Pettenell · 04/01/2026 23:56

I like it a lot, and either spelling, though Miles is my preference.

I wouldn't choose it but it is fine. Miles spelling is better. I taught a few naughty boy Myles.
