Definitely Miles. It's recently become a top favorite; I'm not sure why I never noticed it before, actually. :b I like Myles, but not as well as Miles. The "y" is unnecessary, in my opinion, like trying to spice up a name that doesn't need spicing up. :-/

Miles.Because with that spelling alone, the name seems very modern. While I accept that Myles is a perfectly acceptable spelling, it's just a case of the 'Y' complex that makes it look even more trendy and 'kree8yf.' (Seriously, I wish I could count myself in the line of thinking that Miles is a "stuffy" name for an old man, because to me, it's so seriously modern, and I can only imagine a 15-or-16-year-old boy with the name-- certainly not a distinguished old gentleman! Granted, I still adore the name, but I always have reservations for using it in the future, just for that particular element of modernity I feel it has.)

I prefer Miles.The Y looks rather as though it's been shoved in there to make the name look cool, something I think is completely unnecessary. There's no reason to make Miles look "not fusty," because it isn't. It's so tied to Miles Davis (at least, in my mind) that the name Miles can't help but be cool; it is inherently hip, like listening to Bitches Brew on a turntable with the lights down low.How could a name whose image looks like thisMilesever need a style boost?Miles is enough. Myles takes away the subtlety, and that takes away all the flair the name has.Array

I like Miles. Myles is too made up and generic.

Myles is *not* tryndee.Myles is a long-accepted variant of Miles. The only Myles/Miles I know is a Myles (and he's a 70-odd Englishman), so maybe I'm biased- but Miles looks more like a measure of distance or the latin for soldier (miles- pro. MEE-lehs). On the flip side, many people will lump it in with Mykal and Madysyn and Devyn and Gavyn and Fynn and Lylli and Ty and Ky...so either way has its pros and cons. In this rare case...I don't have an opinion either way, I suppose :-)saSo in sum, I suppose I don't really m

Milesi know that Myles is an acceptable spelling of Miles, but it just strikes me as kr8v and trying to be "cool", which i don't like

I prefer Miles. Myles isn't bad, though. I'm just used to the other spelling. Overall, they're both very nice.

I definitely prefer Miles over Myles, to me replacing i's with y's is a bit trendy and feminine, plus it looks rather strange with only one vowel.
