Megan Lesley?

Thoughts please. We have Welsh heritage and a common single syllable Welsh last name (think along the lines of Jones).

Lesley is a family name and won't be changed.

I think we've finally settled on Megan after a very long time!

Megan is fine, although I think Merryn or Manon is nicer and more interesting.

Lesley is really horrible - did the person you are honouring not have a middle name?? But as a middle name it doesn’t matter much.

Really not a fan of Megan, it feels really dated now and just screams early 00s to me. For reference DD is 19 and has 5 girls in her year with the name.

From people I know who have middle names, most seem to either like or not like their middle names. The ones with family names tend to like them.
I think a middle name with meaning is much nicer than a filler name.

Middle names rarely used. I like Middle names that come from family.

Megan is a lovely name.

I guess the middle names are after relatives.
Middle names don't get used much so as long as Megan goes ok with the surname it should be fine. I prefer just Meg to Megan, but Megan could also be Meg, so check that goes too.

Oh, and she's be a sister to Natalie Christine.
