WDYT?

to me it seems odd to have a nn with more syllables than the name but i do like both names.

[samaside.livejournal.com]

They have the same number of syllables. MY-UHLS and MY-LOH. And it happens a lot. Like DAY-VID and DAY-VEE. Things like that.

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

How do you pronounce Miles as one syllable? I just can't make it work - it's definitely two syllables.

[samaside.livejournal.com]

Yeah, exactly. It's two syllables even if it's not that obvious.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

Idk. To get it to be one syllable to me I have to like shout it and say it really fast.

[uppity-heathen.livejournal.com]

uh. miles only has one syllable. i have never in my life heard anyone pronounce it that way.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

how do you pronounce it?

[lipsty.livejournal.com]

My-ells.

Really? What about Annie for Anne, or Johnny for John? And lots of diminutives have the same number of syllables as the originals (Katie/Kathryn, Mary/Molly, Eddie/Edward, etc.).

It's actually standard practice in Spanish, where the -ita or -ito makes it diminutive. So, for example, Anita is "little Ana" — essentially a Spaniard's version of Annie.

I just don't see sense it it even if it happens.

My grandma is backwards. her name is annie grace but people call her anne. :)

I really like Miles, and really dislike Milo.

i like miles, but prefer it spelled myles. my fiancee and i are actually considering this name for our little one due in august. we just don't know what we're having yet.

Miles or Myles, I do like! =o)

[samaside.livejournal.com]

I like it though for some reason I always have prefered Myles.

[open0heart.livejournal.com]

I love Miles.

[hoochiehoops.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking the other day how much I really like the name Miles.

[la-jolie-vie.livejournal.com]

I prefer Myles.

[matika88.livejournal.com]

I love Miles!
But hate Milo.

[beepandetch.livejournal.com]

I love the name Miles. It's my son's name. Milo is so-so. And, although Myles is a legitimate spelling, I have issues with all the excessive y's that are inserting themselves into so many names lately.

[stillbefree.livejournal.com]

I like Miles alright. However I'll always associate the name Milo to a cat and Rat. The cat thing cus of The Adventures of Milo and Otis and the rat thing cus I named my rat Milo.

[lind-saay.livejournal.com]

I like Miles. Milo sounds like a dog.

i love Miles and Milo

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

Miles/Milo is my number one boys name so I love it

[friday18.livejournal.com]

Miles is kind of neat, but the only Milo I know is an 18 hand tall horse. (For the non-horse people here, that's 6 feet tall at the top of his shoulder.) I have a hard time picturing that name on a kid.

[laminy.livejournal.com]

I see Milo as its own name. A really nice name on its own. I don't like Miles so much.

[kwsh.livejournal.com]

this.

[cremepuff.livejournal.com]

They seem like two separate, different names to me. If anything, Miles seems like it could be a nickname for Milo. But I do like both of them.

[alexandria-skye.livejournal.com]

i agree with this comment (though i like milo slightly better :) )

[arbus.livejournal.com]

LOVE both!!

[pythianlegume7.livejournal.com]

I like it!

[broadwaybabe11.livejournal.com]

I'm obsessed with those 2 names, too!
