Looking for a girl's name to go with this surname

76 replies

Pluto30 · 22/12/2016 00:34

The surname is Lee.

We're looking for something relatively short both in syllables and number of letters (no more than 3 syllables at a push), something that is known and easy to spell/pronounce, but isn't overly popular, and something that sounds "nice" with our surname when said together.

Names we've considered but aren't sold on include:

  • Hannah
  • Sadie
  • Juliet
  • Daisy

The name we like most is Chloe, but it has been in the top 100 where we live since 1985 and is currently at no. 6, so it's simply too popular for us to want to use it.

Thanks everyone!

Some names I really like here: Lucy, Ruby (too popular where I am though), Zoe (ditto - top 10), Abigail, Tabitha, Freya, Esme and Edith (love Edie).

I also love Georgia but DH is a big Tom Waits fan and there's a song called Georgia Lee which is about a girl who was murdered IRL.

Violet?
Emilia?

MoreBushThanMoss · 22/12/2016 19:43

NOT Harper or Sara

Pluto30 · 22/12/2016 20:18

Really like Lucinda... I think Lucy and Cindy are both cute nicknames.

Love Matilda but not keen on Tilly/Tilda. I like Mattie, but not sure if that's the most "likely" shortening.

Love Violet, but always think Violet Lee sounds too much like "violently". Love Emilia too.

Oh and I love Bella... so Arabella and Isabella could work, but not sure if they "ella" sound clashes too much with Lee.

Pluto30 · 22/12/2016 20:26

Haha, I love Vivienne SVJAA I wonder how many people would make the Vivien Leigh connection nowadays. Hmm
