What are your thoughts on Leander for a boy? Quite popular in Norway apparently but unusual in the UK with the name given to only 11 baby boys last year, what are your thoughts?

I love it.

I also like Lysander.

Would you be ok with it being shortened to Lee? Always have to consider short versions with boys, I think

Might get misheard as Leanne
