My cousin has suggested this as a band for my DD but I hate it. DH said its OK although not his fave. I think it sounds chavy tbh, especially the awful spelling! Thoughts?

On second thoughts...I LOVE it in a Wigan accent.

Lekseh Purge

Sounds like an Electricity North West sub-station fault - and I think it could catch on.

A lifetime of being nicknamed Flexi pay.

I think your cousin has got the spelling wrong, Leksea Paydge or Lecksie Payj, or you could soften the 'Paige' and have Payzh (like the zh sound in measure) would be waaaay more unique.

(Lexi / Alexa and various related names are lovely, so is the name Paige, but I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to spelling).

Andoutcomethewolves · 12/01/2025 20:03

I quite like Alexis Paige (not double barrelled) but that suggestion is a travesty.

I'm sorry but it looks like the alphabet vomited.

Bienemaias · 12/01/2025 20:00

This is some lame mumsnet bait

I know...! Why are so many people responding??Confused

Name her Alexandra Paige and call her Lexiii-Payyj for short.

HugoYorway · 12/01/2025 18:57

I'd spell it Lexzii-Paeje. Seems fresh, timeless and youneek. Perfect for when she becomes a High Court Judge or Head of a prestigious school.

just no

I think it would be nicer with an extra i at the end of Lexi so like Lexii
i like that spelling of Payje it’s really uneek

I agree. It would be even nicer if OP could stick Mae somehow in there too.

NewYorkherewecome · 12/01/2025 18:41

Just when you think you’ve heard the worst name someone comes up with a new one which is truly terrible.

KimFan · 12/01/2025 18:22

Yep, chavvy and cheap. Avoid!

bellocchild · 12/01/2025 18:08

DrEggman · 12/01/2025 17:54

It would get said Lechseh Paiyej where I am. Maybe try that spelling?

I work with kids and we never roll our eyes at some names. Honest.

And we would never pronounce them as they are spelt...of course not!

Beautiful 👌 but I think it works better for a boy…

Lexi looks really boring in front of something as yooneeq as Payje. The hyphen is also over-used, there is much nicer punctuation out there. What about Lekzi//Payje

Sunshineofyourlove · 12/01/2025 18:01

Leckseigh-Payje looks better written down.

yorktown · 12/01/2025 18:00

Excellent name for a band, would you consider Lexy's midnight payjes?

Needmorelego · 12/01/2025 17:59

Ok a non piss take comment.....
Lexie is fine. Usually a shortening of Alexandra/Alexis/Alexa.
Paige is fine - if spelt that way.
No need for it to be double barreled.
First name and middle name is fine.

YeGodsandLittleFishies · 12/01/2025 17:23

You don’t like it and neither does your DH - surely that’s the end of the conversation?

What anyone else thinks is irrelevant.

PheasantPluckers · 12/01/2025 17:18

Hoppinggreen · 12/01/2025 17:07

Spell it Leckziiii Payeegz instead and go for it

Love this. Such a shame my baby days are over, I'd definitely be naming my child this.

Could even work as unisex?

Miloarmadillo2 · 12/01/2025 17:18

WTF has it got to do with your cousin? The only people who get a say are you and baby’s father. (Just as well)
