HelpRe: Giles
in reply to a message by hylo
I like it. It seems like a more intellectual, more British version of Miles. It still has a certain edge of cool to it like Miles does. Miles seems slightly more laid back than Giles. I associate Miles with Miles Davis. Giles I associate with the character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Miles seems like a person who appreciates or plays jazz or rock. Giles feels more Beatnik or possibly Blues or Classical.
Niles reminds me of a more nerdy Giles that has lost its cool edge. I don't hate Niles, I actually like it inspite of its lack of cool. It reminds me of Niles Crane from Frasier. Even though the character isn't British the name feels British to me. Probably because it reminds me of the name Nigel.
Niles, Nigel, and Neville all feel very British as does Giles, Jeeves, Alfred, Percy, Rory, Toby, and Trevor. Oddly Miles feels American to me even though Niles and Giles feel British. But I can easily see these names used in other countries as well.
Sorry got a little off track. Over all I really like Giles with its mix of intellectual and cool.
