I like Miles a lot but cannot use it because A) it sounds too similar to DH's last name B) DH had a cat with the name Miles C) I am having a girl. Love the name though!

Miles is my favorite boy name of all time. DH wouldn't go for it. Then two years ago he bought me a puppy...I made him swear on everything that he would never change his mind on the name for one of our kids and he did. So here is my dear sweet Miles...

Love it.

I find it has the same vibe as Russell, Simon, Theo, etc/ (all names I love!)

I like Miles.  My husband has been trying to talk me into "Giles," but I'm not feeling it.  But Miles is nice!  ;)

I briefly flirted with the name Giles because of Buffy, but decided I don't love the name as a name... plus everyone would mispronounce it. I still think it's kind of cool, though!

 

Funny to see so many Miles Davids! The middle name was picked from the get-go; it's my dad's name and he had six daughters, so I figure he deserves a namesake by now. :p

 

I'm still not absolutely sold on Miles, but it seems to be our best option right now. It's comforting to hear nobody thinks it's absolutely ghastly, anyway! And I really do like it in combination with Rowan. Rowan and Miles. Miles and Rowan. Rowan Marie; Miles David. Hmm. Well, I have until June to stop wavering... DH is pretty much of the attitude "it's fine, let's go with it so we don't have to think about it any more", so no trouble on his end...
