First name? Middle name Miles

Boy Names
1

[name]Hi[/name], I’d love some suggestions for first names to go with [name]Miles[/name], which we’d like to use to honour a very close family member who passed away last year.

We like traditional but not too popular names (a hard ask for boys!), and tend to avoid ‘trending’ names which is one of the reasons I am less inclined to use [name]Miles[/name] as a first name.

We both like [name]Sacha[/name] (and [name]Sacha[/name] [name]Miles[/name] goes so well together), though I feel a bit reluctant to use it because it’s so popular among girls (though it started life as a boy’s name).

I love the suggestion of [name]Alexander[/name] ‘[name]Sasha[/name]/[name]Sascha[/name]’ [name]Miles[/name]. That way, if [name]Sasha[/name] doesn’t work out, you have many other nicknames to fall back on.

[name]Philip[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Yuri[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Joaquin[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Constantine[/name] [name]Miles[/name]

[name]Edison[/name] [name]Miles[/name]

Another vote for [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Miles[/name]! Actually, that’s just inspired me to put that combo into number 1 position for my boy’s list. Previously it was [name]Alexander[/name] [name]Jacob[/name], but I’m not keen on the popularity of [name]Jacob[/name]… [name]Miles[/name] is fantastic!

Other options:
[name]Oliver[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Gareth[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Hamish[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Seth[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Landon[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Gabriel[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Joshua[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Elijah[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Nathaniel[/name] [name]Miles[/name]

Good luck!

[name]Alexander[/name] is a very sensible suggestion. We have considered it but despite my love of [name]Sacha[/name], [name]Alexander[/name] doesn’t really work for either of us.

I really like [name]Henry[/name] [name]Miles[/name] - it’s not a name we’ve discussed before oddly, and I brought it up with my husband tonight and he quite likes it. It’s a family name too, distantly (though so is [name]Alexander[/name]!)

I also like [name]Luca[/name], [name]Nathaniel[/name] and [name]Oscar[/name]. Thank you for the suggestions. It’s a tricky middle name for rhythm for some reason, probably because between [name]Miles[/name] and our double barrel surname there’s a lot of consonants. The names that end with a vowel sound like [name]Henry[/name], [name]Luka[/name] and [name]Oscar[/name] seem to flow best.

I think [name]Miles[/name] usually works better as a first name:

[name]Miles[/name] [name]Grayson[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Beckett[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Hudson[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Leander[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Edmund[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Leopold[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Douglas[/name]

But I have tried to make some combos for you:

[name]Atticus[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Rupert[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Thatcher[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Peder[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Frederick[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Ferdinand[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Donovan[/name] [name]Miles[/name]

You can also consider [name]Milo[/name].

Thanks. I totally agree that it is a better first name (I like [name]Miles[/name] [name]Edward[/name]). But I am just not sure I can quite use it as a first. Maybe we will.

I do like [name]Rupert[/name] [name]Miles[/name]. I love [name]Frederick[/name] but my oldest daughter is [name]Frederique[/name]!
