What do you think of the baby name Miles?

[Butterflybluebell]

I wish I had thought about the name Miles when I had my son. I feel it's so warm and welcoming. Just for fun - what's people's opinions?

Yeah the fact it's a distance is slightly off putting, wonder if it would induce bullying. But whenever I hear it, it feels so soft and warm!

Pretentious

🤣 I can see it

Really? That's interesting

I think it’s an awesome name 👍🏼

The name Miles to me conjures up a certain type of person. I can’t imagine a Miles slumming it in a youth hostel for example!!!

i like it
definately better than Jaxon

My cousin is a Myles. I really like it.

Me too.

He was a great poster boy for the name.

Its only because I knew one who wasn't very nice, that I don't like it.

DS 17 has a friend named Miles.
Known him for years and have only ever heard his mates pronounce his name as 'Myawls' despite all coming from well spoken professional families in the SE.
He went through a stage in primary of being called kilometer when the boys were at their most immature, but that stage lasted quite a long time unfortunately.

I don't like it, Milo is even worse, unless you're naming a dog of course.

I’ve just said it out loud, and realise I pronounce Mi -awls./alls How do other people pronounce it?

Giles - Jay - alls.

i think ‘kilometre’ is quite sweet, unless he hated it. A bit like calling a very tall person ‘Tiny’.

Love it & it’s DS2’s middle name. Chose the Myles spelling as DH said the other reminded him of Air Miles (he flew a lot for work and amassed thousands of those). I love The Proclaimers, so that association didn’t put me off!

I have a Miles 🙋🏻‍♀️!

He is 4 years old now and the happiest little boy. We call him ‘Smiley Miley’. He absolutely suits the name and wouldn’t change it for the world. Haven’t met another yet.

I know 3 under 5 so getting more popular

It makes me think of the punchline to a childhood joke: "Miles Green, fairly hip kid" (a pun on Mild Green Fairy Liquid). But I have no idea what the actually joke was! Anyone?

It's a name not a 'baby name'.
Milo is a dog's name.

I love it.

Love it! One of the kindest, nicest people I know is called Miles.

Love it
timeless and suits a child and adult

Love the name Miles, prefer the spelling Myles but lovely name either way!

Posh and similar to Giles, Guy, Hugh, Marcus

I love it too

Marcus Rashford isn't 'posh' and is probably the one most people associate with the name.
