I like Miles better esp when gets to an adult. Great name!

I prefer Miles, more adult sounding. Either could be a nn for the other so you could always switch back & forth! Miles feels more professional, better on the birth cert imo.

I like both very much, but I prefer Milo.

I prefer Milo- I think it is both cute and professional (maybe the "o" ending makes it seem like a nn, but it is just European and stylish) and really perfect. Miles is nice, too, but if I used Miles I'd CALL him Miles...I'm not a huge fan of using one name just to get at a certain nn, at least not if the nn is a legitimate name. Use Milo if you prefer it (jaunty, charming, fun) or Miles if that seems nicer (soft, sweet, confident).

I do like Milo a lot, but it always makes me think of the film, Milo & Otis. I must've watched that movie 100 times as a kid! My uncle also had a cat named Milo, and there is a very friendly burmese cat that comes visiting our house (don't know to which of our neighbours he belongs) and he is also Milo.

For that reason I prefer Miles nn. Milo. Perfect!

Both are fine names but each gives me different vibes. Miles is a more studious, serious gentleman kind of name. Milo, on the other hand, is more exotic, spunky and stylish. I love boys names ending in "o" so I have to vote for Milo.
