Miles

You're Miles away from the slightest common sense if you name your child after a measurement unit. Why not just name your kid Yards, Feet, Inches, Pounds, Kilograms? Or maybe going further calling him Fahrenheit or Decibels? You might wanna say it's not about the unit, but rest assured, most people wouldn't think so.

Epic name.

"This is my son, kilometres."

This name sounds really handsome. It has a strong meaning and I like its simplicity.

Super cute and ages well! Bonus: it’s an anagram of smile ❤️.

Ever since I had the name Miley, people bullied me, so most people just call me Miles, it's not bad for a female name tho.

I’ll use this for a guy's middle name! And I don’t like it on girls.

My name is Miles and I am a 12 year old male. I looked at all the comments and I don't care if it is a feminine or masculine name because it fits all genders and the nickname Milo is also a very good nickname.

I've always loved this name. I know a lot of people will disagree with me, but I especially like it for a girl. I love it for a boy, too, though. It's just a really good beautiful name, in general.

I'm bittersweet on this name. I like and don't like it at the same time.

This isn’t feminine ya dimwits! ;)

Cute name!

Haha, funny name am I right?

This is quite a cool name; it's starting to grow on me. It also reminds me of the song "I Can See For Miles" from Rock Band 3, a game that I played a lot when I was younger.

Miles actually can be used for boys or girls, it’s not too masculine to age wrong on a female. Though, the feminine form Mila is suitable for girls only.

In my opinion, Miles sounds really cute on a girl when paired with something like Nicole or Diane, otherwise I kinda think Miles is better for a girl. I usually comment these kinda comments about how boy's names sound good on girls only when paired with feminine middle names, well it’s true! If a girl named Miles Olivia hates going by Miles, she can always go by Olivia!

I really like this name, somehow. It's up there with Milo for one of my favorites for a man.
Perhaps it's because I really liked the Ace Attorney series at some point.
I would totally use this for a character or something like that.

This name makes me think of the Unit of Measurement. Anyways, I don't care for it.

People don't name their sons Meters, Feet, Inches or Yards, so I don't see why Miles is a name to me.

Takes too long to say. The word 'Miles' sums it up completely.

I prefer Milo.

A strong, handsome, fantastic name for a guy. :D.

I like the Latin meaning, not the Germanic "Milo" one.

Miles Davis was born Miles Dewey Davis III. His father and grandfather were also named Miles. My first choice for a son is Miles Henry, as long as the name doesn't get too popular. This name can fit young boys as well as adult men, and personally I've never met a Miles in my life. The fact that it's a word doesn't really bother me, we use plenty of everyday words as names. Also, I think Milo would be a cute nickname :)

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

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!

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

I actually love this name! It is very cool.

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.

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".

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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