Our shortlist is
Jesse
Jamie
Arthur
Roman or Rowan (can't decide)
Thomas (like it but don't love it)

To go with the surname Lee. Which is your favourite or can you think of any others we might like?

Also quite like Lucas but not sure if I like alliterated names.

All good apart from Roman which is not good. At all. Actually Rowan just makes me think Mr Bean which might not be ideal...

Arthur is best I think. And Art or Artie are cute.

Dislike Rowan, Arthur and Thomas but all the others are nice.

Lucas Lee is a bit neat, with the alliteration.

Jamie Lee makes me think of Jamie Lee Curtis.

So for me that leaves Jesse Lee or Roman Lee.

I'd go Jesse Lee :)

I know a girl called Jamie-Lee so would be wary of that. I like Rowan and Arthur, though.

I know lots of girls called Jamie-Lee, it's a v popular name in Northern Ireland. That would put me off (not that it's a girl's name, but that it's so popular)

I'm growing a Jesse due in 2 months Grin so I'd pick that name, but I'm very biased.

It is the best name ever though.

Arthur Lee sounds lovely too.

Jesse Lee sounds like Jessilie!

I'd avoid names/nicknames ending in -ee or -ie. names ending in -n sound great with Lee: Roman Lee, Rowan Lee, Quentin Lee or Benjamin Lee.

It's not the best list is it. I just can't think of anything I really love that also goes with the surname or that hasn't been used by family/friends.
Frederick is my favourite bit DP hates it.

Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I'd avoid Frederick as it will become Fredlee or Freddielie!

I'd choose Quentin or Roman personally.
