[Opinions] Re: Niles
That's funny that three of you associate the name Niles with a British man! I've never heard it used here. My only association is with Niles Crane, and I guess it does sound a bit pretentious because of him.I've heard people using Nile and then there's Niall which I quite like but I would assume a Niall was Irish or had Irish connections. And while One Direction are MASSIVE as LMS pointed out, I don't really associate the name Niall with them, but I'm not their target audience. I have trouble remembering all their names anyway.

I'm confused too!I think of Niles as completely American, because I've also only ever heard of it in connection with Frasier. The only Miles I know has a fairly typically upper-class background though: maybe that's it?
