yea, I always thought that was weird, and how they wouldn't use the dad's last name for Miles, so he wouldn't be Miles Davis.

That's literally why Bendis (Miles' creator) named Miles' dad Davis. So he could make that joke about Miles not wanting to be called that.

It was addressed in the comics.
His dad even talks about hating his name, and how it gave him a hard time growing up.

Miles: I could have been named after one of the most iconic jazz musicians ever...so cringe

Jefferson: I was named after the president of the confederacy; it's no big deal
