Elohim? Isn't it kind of strange to give your child such a sacred name? I don't suppose they are Jewish. I like Miles.

The first two, I am unsure of the pronounciation and lui, I like more as a nickname
Ilove Miles! So cute for a boy (:

Thumbs up for Miles! It's the name of my former son-in-law's stepfather. My former SIL sometimes calls him Miles and sometimes calls him Dad, and my grandsons call him Pop-pop and think of him as a grandfather. He's a very nice man.Anyway, I love Miles and its Puritan flavor and would love to see it used more.The others, not so much.

I like Miles tooIt doesn't have a Puritan feel to me though I know you probably got that impression from Miles Standish. There's a Miles in my daughter's class, or was last year. He was a cute kid but it's my understanding he was a bit fond of arguing with teachers and trying to get out of things.

Adding....I just checked the popularity statistics for Miles and I see it's been rocketing up there. So I guess you can scratch the "love to see it used more" part of my comment. So actually it's trendy. And in a few years, I'll probably be saying, "I love it, but it's too popular", lol. It is a great name, though. I'd rather see Miles skyrocketing than many another.

Elohim is the Hebrew word for "God". That's quite the name to live up to.

There's some Chinese people around here with the last name Lui, more than one family. I wonder if Lui is ever used as a first name in Chinese?
Lui is also French for something like "him" isn't it?
Then again, it could be a terrible kre8yv spelling of Louie.

That was my first thought on seeing "lui",that it was the French word. "What's your name?"
"Lui".
"???"
