Leah or Leigh or neither?

[OrangeFizz99]

Pg with dc3 could be dd3. Stuck for third girls name!

Lea (with accent) popular in France and Germany and I love. Would probably use uk spelling of Leah though.

Dh thinks Leah ok but thinks Leigh would be better. I think it's ok but isn't it a boys name really? Would just seem like we wanted a da so named dd3 with a boys name?!

Any opinion on Leah or Leigh?

Thanks!

I know a female Leigh so it seems like a girls name. I always think of Lee Miller and think it sounds cool.

Leah is pretty too.

And so is Lia!

Can't go wrong really.

My sisters name is Leah, its a great name

One of my loveliest friends is a woman named Leigh. Not so keen on Leah, myself.

DF's DD2 is Leah and I've always liked it. Never seen Lea (with/without an accent, it doesn't look finished).

Leah is OK, much better than Leigh.

I'm in the SE and Leigh is a reasonably popular girls name from the late 80s/early 90s. I was an adult before I heard it used as a boys name, and IMO it doesn't work. Too feminine.

Leah/Lea has an ugly tone to it IMO. I can't put my finger on exactly why I think that, but personally for me it's one to steer clear of.

Leigh/Lee is much nicer.

Thanks all, sudden surge of Leigh lovers!

Neither.

How about Leonora instead with nn Lee?

Love the name Leah, and it's my nieces name

Love the name Leah, and it's my nieces name

Leah. Definitely.

My DS is Leah and I have a DU called Leigh. Please go for Leah.

I always feel Lea is a NN and like an unfinished name. Plus Leah can be shortened to 'Lee' as a NN.

Leah.

Leigh makes me think of Lee.
