i know a Miles. He is lovely.

its a nice name.

Not keen on it. Makes me think of posh floppy haired fellows.

ooh yes ... good name

excellent name
and quietly popular among the better type of mumsnet posters

Milo also nice.. as an abbreviation of miles or a name in itself.

Lol PPH, there are certainly a few posters that could be Milesmummy, that's the first thing I thought when I saw the thread.

Nice name.

I like it but DH always says - miles and miles for sweet F all - every time I mention it!

Yes, my dad says "miles behind" when he hears the name

i've said it reminds me of miles from this life.
yum.

Nice but it means soldier which puts me off somewhat.

It does sound posh in a floppy haired sort of way - but that's OK

You could always go for the "we want to be you-neeq" approach and tell everyone that you're pronouncing it My-Les

Or Mee-lay

LOL - even better!

Like it. I do actually like Myles too, but possibly only because I know one

i prefer myles

Miles is a man wearing a cravat..must be that sitcom Frasier that makes me think that.

I thought Frasier's brother was Niles. Or was it Nyles? Anyhoo, Miles is nice but please don't use it because I might want to

I like it.

It's a bit of a family name for me. I have a (v. intelligent, good looking, strong, kind) 20 yo cousin called Miles, who was named for our great uncle, who was named for his uncle (and so on ad finitem).

Mrswoolf, I wish I did know Latin. I am one of those weird folk with (atrocious) Ancient Greek and no Latin at all, but hung round with a couple of classicists at university
