User Comments about the name Miles
Comment left Dec 28, 2008: "We are planning to call our first baby, who we have found out is a boy and is due in May, Miles. We love the name as it's really different, classical and very strong-sounding." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Nov 16, 2008: "My husband and I are picking baby names for our baby, due in May, and Miles is at the top of our boy's name list. Beautiful, masculine, simple. And, if you don't like the Latin, you can take the alternate etymology of Old German meaning "mercy". :-)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 29, 2007: "We named our first son Miles in tribute to his mother's family (their surname 'Miles'). We didn't know at the time that it was also a recognised first name of some pedigree meaning 'soldier'. How appropriate then that our son has chosen to make his career in the army! He's very proud of his name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 22, 2007: "We named our son Miles six years ago. It was the one name both my husband and I loved. I still love it. My only problem with it is that it is awkward to turn into a possesive (Miles's)" (Report as inappropriate)
