Lee factor

[peaceofmind1]

Baby girl due... please help!

I didn't realise how many names rhymed.

We don't want anything too cute e.g Daisy, Poppy etc

We don't want anything too old fashioned e.g Betsy, Enid etc

Names we like

Eliza
Florence
Maeve
Clara
Leah (doesn't work with Lee)
Emily (Favourite name but doesn't work with Lee)
Rosa (Another Favourite but doesn't work with Lee)

We have considered but gone off:

Emilia
Amelia
Isabella
Isabelle
Hannah
Charlotte (harlot?)

Hit me with your favourite names pls.

If you like Annie as a nickname then...

Annika Lee
Anastasia Lee
Anya Lee

?

DEFINITELY not Anna, Annie or Annabel - nothing that sounds like anally is ever a good name choice!!

I think with a short surname a longer first name works better, so something like:
Rebecca Lee
Octavia Lee
Natasha Lee

Willow Lee is nice too?

Lydia
Lauren
Elizabeth
Josephine
Jennifer
Katherine
Marianne
Harriet
Madeleine
Olivia
Bethan
Christina
Claire
Alexandra

Not to be crass but Anna Lee/Anally.

I agree about the N sound or basically something not ending in a vowel.

vivienne is lovely!
verity (ok a vowel but works)
seren
elowen
bethan/Bethany/Beatrice
rhiannon
byrony
cassandra

Why don't you double barrel your surname so you're both represented, then pick Emily if it's your favourite name?

Clara, Eliza, Florence are all nice with Lee.

i agree that a long first name (including by hyphenation, why not) is good.

Veronica Lee
Arabella Lee
Daniela Lee
Gabriella Lee
Mariella Lee
Florentina Lee
Hermione Rose Lee

I have an Emily and an Isabella so feel like we might have similar name preferences. I also have an Olivia (and a Henry 😂.) middle names are Grace, Florence, Rose (and Joseph.) some of these will work well with Lee

I love your options!
it’s one of those surnames you think should go with almost anything until you start trying names out!
Harriet Lee (Hattie)
Henrietta Lee (Etta)
Martha Lee
Rebecca Lee
Victoria Lee
Francesca Lee
Beatrice Lee (although Bee Lee may not work but she could be Trixy)
Greta Lee
Tabitha Lee

We have very similar tastes

I love Florence. I almost forgot about that one

Exactly how we feel.

We quite like Francesca, but don't really like Fran.

We know one who gets called Fran or Franny most of the time.

I'd go with Emma and then you basically have Emily with the full name

Very true. Ha!

Sara

We have older children so that's really not option

Definitely not willow lee, if you say it quickly it sounds like Willy. Maybe I’m just immature.

You need more syllables and fewer ls and es.

Lee mimics the currently popular for girls -ie -ee -y ending sound.

I’m not a fan of anything too popular so here are my suggestions.

Ingrid
Deborah
Roxanne
Jocelyn
Elinor
Delphine
Judith
Nadine
Monica
Ramona
Rhiannon
Imelda
Marissa
Breanna

I think my favourite is Roxanne. That would be a cool name. Roxy Lee.

I think it needs to be long/ three syllables, like Caroline, Francesca, Catherine, Clementine, Georgina, Victoria, Elizabeth.

Laurie

I think you need a name that ends in a consonant or it all blends into one. I agree that an ‘n’ or ‘m’ makes a good ending. Although I do think Leah Lee is very cute!

Perfect

Genevieve
Vanessa
Rowena
Harriet
Henrietta
Seraphina
Emmeline
Victoria
Elizabeth
Adelaide
Alexandra
Andromeda
Magnolia
Margot
Florence
Gwendolyn

Imogen
Alexandra
Megan
Bethan
Josephine
Elizabeth
Georgina
Meredith
Charlotte
Scarlett
Jasmine

What about Emma? If you like Emily it would sound very similar

Oh this is tricky!

Emma Lee
Georgia Lee
Elizabeth Lee (lots of NN options)
Farah Lee
Carmen Lee
Imogen Lee
Jasmine Lee
Mary Lee
Charlotte Lee
Alice Lee
Sophia Lee
Madeline Lee
Madison Lee
Eloise Lee
Samantha/Sammy Lee
