Myles?

I was delighted to hear that my SIL had just given birth to a son and that she had named him Miles. But, when I got to the hospital, I was surprised to see that she was spelling it Myles.

I don't dig the spelling; but, I think the name is nice enough. What do you think?

Myles is actually a pretty common spelling of Miles. It's not just a part of the 'replace all vowels with a Y!' trend. In fact, I've known multiple guys named Myles, none of which spelled it with an I.

I like it though, and I like it with the NN Milo or in this case, Mylo.

Miles #210
Myles #310

So there is a difference, but I'd consider Myles to be pretty high up there as far as supposwdly 'creative' spellings are concerned.

that's what I was thinking.. that in this case the y is as common (not trendy) as the i.

Hmm.. interesting. I've never encountered a Myles, before now.
