all of the sudden i really like the name myles for a girl! on another form i found a thread from a few years ago, someone posed the same idea and every person said that naming a girl myles/miles would be terrible. so berries, what are your thoughts?!
I donāt personally like it, but I think it works and could be quite cool.
I think it works!
I love this! Especially the [name_m]Myles[/name_m] spelling! I prefer [name_u]Miles[/name_u] for a boy but the āyā makes it feel more unisex.
I actually knew a lady in her late 30s named [name_u]Miles[/name_u]. Always loved it!
I think it could work kind of liking it
I like it! I think the [name_m]Myles[/name_m] spelling opens the door to more of a unisex name than the [name_u]Miles[/name_u]. In my opinion though, either or could work for a girl. Itās one of those names that flirts on the unisex line and those are normally the ones I like best . If you like it, I think it is completely usable!
Itās not terrible, but Iām not keen personally. [name_u]Miles[/name_u] is such a wonderful, handsome, cool classic boy name, I just canāt picture it on a girl at all.
i think it would work well for a nickname at least ! something like myla or amylia āmiles/mylesā would be cute
I donāt see why this would be awful when Mile or [name_u]Miles[/name_u] is a common nickname for [name_f]Miley[/name_f]. If girls go by [name_u]Miles[/name_u] all the time as a nickname, then whatās the issue with just giving them that name? I donāt love it personally, but Iām just not a fan of the name in general. But I am a huge fan of nickname names and traditionally masculine names on girls (I have on my list [name_u]Ollie[/name_u], [name_u]Reggie[/name_u], etc), so [name_u]Miles[/name_u] definitely checks those boxes. I would be very excited to meet a little girl [name_u]Miles[/name_u].
It isnāt unexpected, while Iām personally not a fan, it blends in the boy-name-on-girl trend (especially in the US)
Iād pass seriously. [name_f]Miley[/name_f] would be a great alternative that would likely get far less raised eye brows.
Iād go with a longer, more feminine name (Miley, [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], Myla,ā¦) and choose [name_m]Myles[/name_m] as a nickname.
I like it! I prefer the [name_u]Miles[/name_u] spelling in general, but [name_m]Myles[/name_m] isnāt bad. While itās more popular for boys, it is a word name which, for me at least, make it automatically unisex. Thereās also more feminine options as nicknames like [name_f]Mya[/name_f], [name_f]Miley[/name_f], [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Myla[/name_f] and [name_u]Les[/name_u]! I see no problem with this, I think itād be sweet and unisex names are very popular so this would blend in just fine. I say go for it!
As Miles/Myles is quite common for boys I would give her a more feminine name as many have suggested above, and go with [name_m]Myles[/name_m] as her nickname. It also gives her options in case she doesnāt like having a unisex-style name or perhaps has male classmates named [name_u]Miles[/name_u], etc.
I think [name_m]Myles[/name_m]- spelt this way- works fine for a girl
[name_m]Myles[/name_m] is a boys name I dislike for girls
Sorry for raining on your parade
I mean, itās no crazier than [name_u]James[/name_u] on a girl. I donāt like either, but itās not off-trend I suppose.
I know multiple girls who have [name_m]Myles[/name_m] as a nickname, and I think that definitely works! But I think itās best as a nickname and not on-the-birth-certificate.
I agree with others that itās better as [name_m]Myles[/name_m] than [name_u]Miles[/name_u] if youāre going for it anyways though, as a general comment
If you like the nn [name_f]Mylie[/name_f] then go for it
I actually really like the idea of [name_u]Miles[/name_u] on a girl! I know personally Iād love to be called [name_u]Miles[/name_u]. I like the suggestion of using a longer first name and [name_u]Miles[/name_u] as a nickname too, especially because then the name wearer would have options for what they want to go by!
I definitely prefer [name_u]Miles[/name_u] to [name_m]Myles[/name_m], and absolutely do not think you need to spell it [name_m]Myles[/name_m] for it to be more āfeminine.ā I dont think adding Ys to names makes them more feminine (just feels more trendy, in my opinion)!
