Miles's is most common.
We have a Charles and always use Charles's for possessive.

How many Mileses are there?
The possessive would be Miles’s
Per pretty much all style books.
But plural possessive would be Miles’
Although again, how many Mileses are we talking about?

Miles isn’t plural. You may not like it, but names that end is S should always be treated like Miles’s.

Sorry, you said plural. Since Miles is one kid, it’s singular, not a last name then omit the the.

Please don’t write Mile’s. That would be very embarrassing.

Singular possessive, because Miles is singular. Miles's

“Miles'” is the correct possessive form when following the AP Stylebook. “Miles’ book” is correct according to AP rules.
“Miles’s” is the correct possessive form when following any other style guide (like The Chicago Manual of Style). “Miles’s family” is used with these rules.
Wouldn’t those be the singular possessives?
