Dh likes a lot. The only problem we have is our surname is Lee which means the name is very close to the Zane low (the DJ)

Do you like Zane and do you think our surname prevents us from using this name?

Zain is a mobile phone network here in Africa and across the middle east grin

Still it's a nice name.

I actually like Zane - cool and unique.

But I don't think Zane Lee sounds that good.

Not sure about Josh Lee either (especially if said fast).

Agree that a name ending in a consonant would work well e.g. xxxin Lee or xxxen Lee.

Quentin Lee does sound very good (and I love Quentin)!

Joshua Zane Lee works nicely?
I do like Zane, i see what people say about not "matching" the LN but its not such a big deal is it?

Quentin Lee is great.

Quentin Zane Lee?

Zane is a little too 'wacky' for me too, I'm afraid. Also don't think that Zane Lee rolls off the tongue that well....

But I have to agree that Quentin Lee does sound very nice!

Agree that you need a strong sounding two syllable first name with Lee. An -in ending name works particularly well - I like Justin Lee and Quentin Lee.

Quentin is a favourite of dh. I quite like it but I know it gets a mixed reaction

I like Zane.

Think its ok with Lee.

The problem with longer first names (e.g. Zepheniah) is that they will inevitably be shortened (e.g. Zeph Lee).

Perhaps a 2 syllable name (not ending in L) that is unlikely to be shortened is better, e.g. Thomas Lee or Quentin Lee?
