I love
Miles. It's one of my favorite names.
Miles as a unit of measure doesn't bother me, as I don't associate it with the name at all. I would find it amusing to nickname a
Miles Kilometers, in fact. Anyway,
Miles is a handsome name, masculine while still being soft. I much prefer it to
Milo. Potential middle names include
Miles Alexander,
Miles Theodore, something else long and regal, or perhaps
Miles Axel or
Miles Thor for something more spunky.

LISTEN TO THE MUSTN'TS
-
Shel Silverstein
Listen to the MUSTN'TS, child,
Listen to the DON'TS
Listen to the SHOULDN'TS
The IMPOSSIBLES, the WON'TS
Listen to the NEVER HAVES
Then listen close to me—
Anything can happen, child,
ANYTHING can be.
