Are the S's awkward?

After much debate we have decided on Miles for the name of our son. Great. Except I think it may sound awkward with our last name. Crews.
Miles Crews
Does it sound strange with the "S" sounds?

Dude.
The name is just fine.
How often do you say your full name anyway.
Miley is a girls name, and Milo is the lead singer and cartoon on the descendents albums.
If you haven't figured it out, I'm the father of said child.
And I'm sorry to the dad, but your full name (without mn) is definitely used all the time. Particularly in formal contexts like writing a letter or a paper, applying for anything, accessing anything like prescriptions, accounts, interviews, etc. If your name is ever on a list, like a student honor roll, club list, employee list, etc, it will be your FN LN. Not to mention that people almost always refer to others by their FN LN when talking about them, whether it's a famous person, a coworker, a schoolmate, or an acquaintence. Saying it's rarely used is not the greatest argument.
How do you guys like Milo nn Miles?

As much as I love Miles, I would pair it with a last name that ends in an "s". Not just Miles- with your last name I wouldn't use ANY name that ends with an S. How about Milo Crews instead?

I think it depends on how much you like the name. If it the be all end all name for you and there is no way you could picture your son named anything but Miles. I say go for it. Its not the ideal first name-last name combo but you know its not horrible at all. I like to say names out loud like I am yelling it to the kid and it works alright. It doesn't come out all weird or run together to bad. If you aren't in love with the name them I think you could find something that would work better. I had to LOL at your husband. He is right Milo is a cartoon, If he is talking about the cartoon I think he is then its a a very weird cartoon to be named after. Plus I named my dog after that same cartoon. It was really late it and was the only thing on TV.
Good luck! Miles really is a great name and if I were you I'd use it.
