You're Miles away from the slightest common sense if you name your child after a measurement unit. Why not just name your kid Yards, Feet, Inches, Pounds, Kilograms? Or maybe going further calling him Fahrenheit or Decibels? You might wanna say it's not about the unit, but rest assured, most people wouldn't think so.

Miles actually can be used for boys or girls, it’s not too masculine to age wrong on a female. Though, the feminine form Mila is suitable for girls only.
In my opinion, Miles sounds really cute on a girl when paired with something like Nicole or Diane, otherwise I kinda think Miles is better for a girl. I usually comment these kinda comments about how boy's names sound good on girls only when paired with feminine middle names, well it’s true! If a girl named Miles Olivia hates going by Miles, she can always go by Olivia!

I really like this name, somehow. It's up there with Milo for one of my favorites for a man.
Perhaps it's because I really liked the Ace Attorney series at some point.
I would totally use this for a character or something like that.

This name makes me think of the Unit of Measurement. Anyways, I don't care for it.
People don't name their sons Meters, Feet, Inches or Yards, so I don't see why Miles is a name to me.

My name is Miles and I am a 43 yr old male. My grandfather's name was Miles and my son's name is Miles. It is a unique name and I love it. Women love it and I hope my son passes down the name to his son as well!
I'd hate it if anyone called me MILO for short, that is a entirely different name and takes away from its Irish herritage for me! Thanks!

Miles Davis was born Miles Dewey Davis III. His father and grandfather were also named Miles. My first choice for a son is Miles Henry, as long as the name doesn't get too popular. This name can fit young boys as well as adult men, and personally I've never met a Miles in my life. The fact that it's a word doesn't really bother me, we use plenty of everyday words as names. Also, I think Milo would be a cute nickname :)

As my username suggests, my first name is Miles, and I like it because it has a sort of timeless feel to it, something modern, yet starting back so old. I had no idea what it meant, and it just makes me like bearing it all the more! And it's not necessarily a downside that it is a unit of measurement, I like the nickname "Meters".

I do not think the pronunciation of MIE-ulz is quite accurate because that suggests there are two syllables. Myles is one syllable, so it should be MYLZ. [noted -ed]

I found this on http://www.irishclans.com/articles/irishbabynames.html for the name Myles.
"An alternative spelling of Miles. Bryan O'Nolan (1911-66) used the pen-name Myles na Gopaleen - a name originally created by Dion Boucicault (1822-90) - for a number of his works and for his Irish Times column."
