Consider: Tails has multiple tails and is highly intelligent, the signs of a kitsune. A kitsune grows an extra tail every 100 years, up to the age of 1000. Therefore, Tails is 100-199 years old.

Well, I remember seeing as a kid an episode of the old Sonic cartoon show thing where Robotnik had robots pose as Tails's long-lost parents so as to kidnap him, and Sonic only figured it out because Tails's real parents would have called him Miles (a name which Tails says he hates).
So, my headcanon as a kid was that "Tails" is a name that Miles Prowler chose for himself, and everyone just kind of goes along with it.
Apparently Tails' creator wanted him named Miles Prower, but others at Sega felt that Tails would be shorter and catchier or something. So they compromised.

Honestly I was gonna write a post about how I imagined he got his name and it was basically just that, so.
