[Opinions] Niles
We were thinking about Neil but now are learning towards Niles, which stems from Neil. Thoughts?

I don't like it, don't absolutely hate it, but I would say I moderately dislike it...it just feels a bit...limp and damp? Bordering unpleasant. Makes me think of dank formerly clinical rooms overtaken by mildew and mould, and I'm sorry I have no idea where that association comes from. Or old, dark and wet-smelling cellars. Caves with slime dripping from the ceiling. There's something slimy there. I don't like Neil but at least that feels more solid and less slimy.What about Niall? Related to Neil, said slightly differently... and despite being Neil with frills on, I've always found it so strangely and bewilderingly simple yet enchanting. I love it, have no idea why I love it, and I always mean to add it to my names list cos when I hear it, it's just neat in a way it isn't on paper. I spent five mins trying to put into words how neat I think Niall is, but basically it just sounds good. I need to add it to my name list to be honest, it's just neat in a way that Neil or niles...no offense meant at all...just really aren't. It has a different kind of neatness.

I like Neil much more than Niles. Niles has a really stuffy vibe.
