The names are pronounced differently and one of them is an appropriate historical reference while the other is not. Giles is more likely due to meaning "young goat." Lust has been repeatedly laden with references to goats--its appearance, Sateriasis' name (satyrs), etc. No official translation--Gilles was a guess by the other person, anon. It's in no way official. As well, while Gilles is a historical reference, nothing in his history that I can see at a glance is an obvious connection to Lust. Giles with one l, however, literally comes from a word meaning "young goat."

Rahab is named after a mythological sea monster and a biblical prostitute so why wouldn't Gilles be named after something relating to goats? It's more how it sounds compared to the others. Rahab at least sounds like it fits in with Levia and Behemo and Held as far as godly names go, but then there's Giles which is a common name. I think I have a neighbor named Giles. I'm not about to have a neighbor named Rahab or Levia or Behemo or Held. It's just so exceedingly normal compared to other names of the gods and their kin so far.
