Comments for the name Miles

A famous bearer of the name Miles was the jazz trumpeter Miles Davis.

I found this on http://www.irishclans.com/articles/irishbabynames.html for the name Myles.

"An alternative spelling of Miles. Bryan O'Nolan (1911-66) used the pen-name Myles na Gopaleen - a name originally created by Dion Boucicault (1822-90) - for a number of his works and for his Irish Times column."

According to "The Very Best Baby Name Book in the Whole Wide World", by Bruce Lansky, Meadowbrook Press, ISBN: 0-88166-247-x, Miles (Greek) millstone, (Latin) soldier, (German) merciful.

Milo is a cute nickname for Miles.

Miles is a great name for a boy. I prefer the spelling Myles though.

I do not think the pronunciation of MIE-ulz is quite accurate because that suggests there are two syllables. Myles is one syllable, so it should be MYLZ. [noted -ed]

I like this name! I think it's very cool and it's not a very common name either. I would call my child, if he were a boy, Miles. Also a two-tailed fox is called Miles 'Tails' Prower in the Sonic series which is cool!

Miles Tuck is from the book and movie 'Tuck Everlasting'.

I love this name and I think that it's a great name for a boy.

It is one of the supposed real names of Matt, a character from the anime Death Note. His full real name is Miles Jeevas. The other thought for his name is Mail.

As my username states I am a girl (a fourteen year old girl) named Miles. I love my name and I am glad to have a name as memorable and beautiful. Please do not think of this name as strictly a male name, it is not!

Miles also means generous - a great quality!

What a great name for a boy. Concise, strong, not too common, and yet it has a certain presence and beauty. The historical precedents are amazing, particularly Miles Davis. Definitely on my top ten (both genders) list.

Actress Renée O´Connor & Steve Muir have a son Miles Muir, born 22th September 2001.

Miles Edgeworth is a popular character who stars in the Phoenix Wright video game trilogy.

This name is one of those that was used in countless teen movies of the 90's along with Mason and Max, all of which are ugly sounding.

I like this name very much. I prefer this spelling over Myles, too, but only slightly.

This name is alright, but I think the name Miles is a little silly. It reminds me to much of measurement. Maybe somewhere with Kilometers, but not here.

In the Sonic games Tails' real name is Miles "Tails" Prower.

Miles Murphy (born 1992), son of actor Eddie Murphy.

My friend just named her little boy, Miles. I think it's a cute name for a baby boy. The name ages well too. The name is suitable for a child and a grown individual.

As my username suggests, my first name is Miles, and I like it because it has a sort of timeless feel to it, something modern, yet starting back so old. I had no idea what it meant, and it just makes me like bearing it all the more! And it's not necessarily a downside that it is a unit of measurement, I like the nickname "Meters".

Miles Straume, a character from the TV show LOST who can 'communicate' with spirits to 'read their minds' and find out how they died, etc.

Very nice, smart-sounding masculine name. Though I know a girl named Miles and it just sounds awful for a feminine name. It exudes masculinity.

I actually love this name! It is very cool.

Miles Edgeworth is a character in the Ace Attorney series.

It's such a cool name. Cute on a boy but also respectable on a grown man. I like it a lot. :)

Miles Coverdale is the name of the narrator in Nathaniel Hawthorne's 1852 novel The Blithedale Romance.

Miles Morales is the name of the new ultimate Spider-Man in Marvel's Spider-man series.

I love the name Miles! (Not Myles though, it seems too modern and childish to me) its really unique without being weird and unheard of, and it can suit every age. Definitely will consider this for one of my kids!

I really hope this name stops becoming so popular, I'd like to use it some day!
