Hello all, we're due in 3 weeks (gender surprise), and are no closer to choosing a name than we were 9 months ago. Looking for general comments/opinions on the following names (and any suggestions for other, similar names).

The surname is Lee and the middle name for a boy will either be Jones or Morrison. The middle name for a girl is still undecided.

Audrey
Agatha
Chloe
Edith (nickname Edie)
Hannah
Juliet
Madeleine or Madeline (pronounced differently)
Sadie (we both love Sarah but can't have a Sarah Lee)

Arthur
Benson
Edward or Edmund
Frederick
Henry or Harry
Hugo
Oscar
Samuel (the only family name on the list - my dad's name; he passed away when I was young)
Simon

Thanks in advance! Smile

I like all your boys names except Benson, which reminds me of Benson & Hedges. Edmund just beats Edward for me.

One thing I would be slightly wary of is the fact that Samuel Lee might 'run into' each other and sound a bit like "Samuelly" when said quickly together. Also I'd pick Henry over Harry, as Harry Lee becomes 'Hairily' quite easily.

Not keen on Agatha, but Juliet, Edith, and Audrey are lovely.

Agatha
Edith (nickname Edie)

Hugo
Oscar
These are my choices. I especially like the girl's names.

Thanks again, guys!

ABCFamily Never realised the Harry Lee thing! Thanks for pointing that out. Also, have considered the Samuel Lee running into each other thing, but I guess it's just the connection to my dad that keeps me coming back to it...

Seems that Edith, Madeleine and Audrey are the top contenders for a girl, and no real front runner for boys (aside from Samuel for the connection). But we can rule out Benson, Harry and Arthur. Smile

My favourites from your list are Edith and Juliet.
I'm not keen on Audrey at all, nor Sadie which I don't think works with your surname.

I like Edmund and Hugo very much, and Arthur and Frederick are nice but getting very popular.
Harry/Henry is massively overused, Oscar has had its day, and Benson is awful.

My favourites are Samuel and Sadie.

I only like Juliet and Hugo from that list.
Madeline is a bit overdone IMO.

Like them all except Benson. Edith is especially nice and not many around our area

Love your girls names except Agatha (too harsh sounding). Juliet was on my short list for both my girls. Hannah is simple but under used at the moment.
I like Henry but know loads of under 3's called Henry. Ditto Oscar and Harry. Love Frederick, like Samuel. Dislike Benson, I know 3 dogs called Benson!

I would go with Chloe or Hannah for a girl and Samuel for a boy. Not that keen on the rest, sorry!
