We are expecting our first baby boy and are having trouble deciding on a name. [name]Ethan[/name] or [name]Miles[/name]? I think I like [name]Miles[/name] more than [name]Ethan[/name]. I don’t hear it as much as [name]Ethan[/name]. My husband likes [name]Ethan[/name] more but is open to [name]Miles[/name] as well. So far, we are at:
[name]Ethan[/name] [name]Miles[/name]
[name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] (reminds me of [name]Charles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] from X-Men, pronounced ex-zay-vee-er). I think its cute.
Please help us decide. We’re open to middle name or first name suggestions to go with [name]Miles[/name]. Thanks so much!
I prefer [name]Miles[/name] and I feel like it is less popular than [name]Ethan[/name], if that matters to you. I really like [name]Xavier[/name], too.
My vote goes to [name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]! I looooooove [name]Ethan[/name], but apparently it was like #3 or something in 2012? I had no idea it was so popular. I love the combo [name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] though, much more than [name]Ethan[/name] [name]Miles[/name].
Definitely [name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name]! Much more character than [name]Ethan[/name] [name]Miles[/name], and the combo sounds better to my ears.
[name]How[/name] about [name]Miles[/name] [name]Ethan[/name]? Then you both get names you love in the combo! [name]Both[/name] names are great! [name]Ethan[/name] is definitely a very popular name though, I know several little boys with that name, by putting it in the middle name slot your husband gets a name he loves in his son’s name without it being his first name.
I prefer [name]Miles[/name] to [name]Ethan[/name]. [name]Miles[/name] [name]Xavier[/name] is very cool (though I pronounce [name]Xavier[/name] as zay-vee-er— Professor X from the X-men actually spelled his name [name]Xzavier[/name] to get that extra ‘ex’ syllable— I prefer it without the ‘ex’).
I believe [name]Ethan[/name] rests in the top 10 on the SSA Name List, while [name]Miles[/name] is further down in the top 100. I prefer [name]Miles[/name] to [name]Ethan[/name] regardless.
Thanks everyone! I like [name]Miles[/name] more because I don’t hear it as often as I do [name]Ethan[/name]. I’ll be sure to share your thoughts with my hubby tonight. Thanks again!
