A written name does not carry one universal pronunciation. Miles and George are normally one syllable in American English, but speech can give them an extra beat. Names borrowed from another language may change again inside the family that uses them. Treat this list as a listening shortlist, then use the pronunciation your child will actually hear.
For the next part of the full name, try the middle name generator. It compares repeated endings and initials rather than assuming every long-short combination will sound right.
