We are expecting twin boys in [name_u]November[/name_u] and can’t decide on a second name. We have decided to name one of them [name_m]Miles[/name_m], but not sure about the other.
We both love the name [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], nn [name_m]Gabe[/name_m], but that doesn’t really fit with [name_m]Miles[/name_m], which we love even more. My husband likes the name [name_u]Casey[/name_u], but I am not sold on it.
We don’t want the other name to start with an M. They will share their appearance and so much more, so we want them to have different initials. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] is such a great name, I love it! Congratulations on your boys! I actually think [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] ([name_m]Gabe[/name_m]) goes just fine with [name_m]Miles[/name_m], but if you’re not sold, here are some other suggestions that I think work well with [name_m]Miles[/name_m]:
I love [name_m]Miles[/name_m]. I also really like [name_u]Casey[/name_u].
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_u]Casey[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Felix[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Pierce[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Ramsey[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_u]Reed[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_u]Shane[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_u]Spencer[/name_u]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_u]Toby[/name_u]
Thank you so much for all of the help! It looks like everybody thinks that [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] fit well together, which surprises me. I guess our concern is that [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is SUCH a biblical name, while [name_m]Miles[/name_m] seems a lot more modern. Does anyone have any ideas for ways that the two names are connected in at least a tiny way that we just haven’t found yet?
By the way, I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] all of your suggestions! [name_m]Even[/name_m] if we do end up using [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] as the other name, we will definitely be using some of these as mn options! Thank you so much!
I also think that [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabe[/name_m] would be great brothers. Yes, [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] is a biblical name, but I think [name_m]Gabe[/name_m] has the same modern, laid-back feel as [name_m]Miles[/name_m].
I tried to find a connection, and found this photographer with sons named [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabe[/name_m]! Probably not the best, but, it’s something! http://bryerphotography.com/about/
I actually just read that [name_m]Miles[/name_m] was the name of the first person to translate the Bible into English! I’m super excited! [name_m]Even[/name_m] though it’s not a huge connection (actually it’s barely one at all) it works for us! Thanks again for all of your help. [name_m]Miles[/name_m] and [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] it is!
I think [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] are great together as well. A [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] alternative could be [name_m]Gable[/name_m], and could still go by the nn [name_m]Gabe[/name_m]. You’ve gotten lots of great suggestions so far! Congrats on twin boys!!
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] means “God is my Strength” and [name_m]Miles[/name_m] means soldier, so in my mind they have he connection of being strong.
[name_m]Gabriel[/name_m] wouldn’t be my pick, but it is a good name with a great meaning.
I like [name_u]Casey[/name_u], and also like [name_u]Grady[/name_u]. It has the G like [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m], but is a surname like [name_m]Miles[/name_m]. [name_m]Gavin[/name_m] is also an option.
Twin boys - how exciting! I also love the combination of [name_m]Miles[/name_m] with [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]/[name_m]Gabe[/name_m]. Here are a few more I think would go with [name_m]Miles[/name_m]:
