I like

Edward (esp. as ted as nn) but DH doesnt. He doesnt understnd why you would formally call a child one thing but use another in everyday life.

Sebastian but not Seb

Tristan - but everyone tells me its 'poncey'

BeautifulBubbles, I have to agree with your husband. I don't see the point either. Couldn't you call him Ted something (ie Ted Alexander) so he has a choice of name later in life? he might think Alexander is nicer and use it for intance.

Just realised I suggested Leo Lee

I know a Sebastian, he is never called Se but it could happen.

I like Ted but not Edward.

What about...

Matthew
Adam
William
Cameron
Ross
Patrick
Ryan
Samuel
Marcus
Nicholas
George
Curtis
Kieran
Conor

I would chose a two syllable name. Anything shorter does't sound good with Lee imo, and a longer name will be shortened.

For example, Seb Lee or Dom Lee doesn't sound that great imo.

Two syllable names that I think sound good with Lee include:

Quentin Lee
Arthur Lee
Tristan Lee

Linden

am going to suggest it to everyone in need of boys name until someone uses it (was only allowed it for middle name, ds2)

EyeballsisonaDietAgain · 12/05/2009 15:02

Ooh my friend's DH is Lynden. Really like it.

sockmonster · 12/05/2009 15:16

I have a friend named Tristan and he's fantastic, I love the name Tristan. It's a classic and classy name. Or Sebastian, or Nicholas, or Joshua. Zachariah could work with your surname too.

noddyholder · 12/05/2009 15:18

Max Robert William Jude

mouseman · 12/05/2009 15:29

Be careful with William - if its shortened you'll have Will Lee!

Tortington · 12/05/2009 15:31

Jonas

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 12/05/2009 15:55

Nicholas! Why didn't I think of that?

TattyCatty · 12/05/2009 16:00

Been there, done that as we're also a Lee family, although spelt differently. We had Isaac Jack lined up for DD, but Joshua was a close contender too. Agree that it needs to be a two syllable name and also needs to be a strong sounding name as Lee kind of peeters out as a sound IYSWIM.

MadreInglese · 12/05/2009 16:15

What about Jonah?

Greensneeze · 12/05/2009 16:17

poppydaisy · 12/05/2009 17:55

From the suggestions so far, I like Tristan Lee and Quentin Lee the best.

Divineintervention · 12/05/2009 18:07

I like Quentin

jellycat · 12/05/2009 18:15

Don't go for Linden with Lee...it's a folk song .

Shoshe · 12/05/2009 18:16

Daniel.

ProfMargotBeauregarde · 12/05/2009 20:47

Frederick
Nicholas
Marcus
DOminic
Barnaby
Zachary
Gregory
Victor
Donald

I like Daniel, but it ends in an l so not before lee. Also, not Bruce. ALthough I like Bruce.

Knax · 12/05/2009 20:56

I agree Stewart Lee is dishy. The not so dishy one (Herring) chatted me up once! Sorry, for random me, me , me, moment.

It needs to be at least 2 syllables with Lee. Cassius Lee too much like Cassius Clay though.

Knax · 12/05/2009 20:58

Isaac lee sounds a bit like basically.
I suppose you have to avoid anything that sounds like an adverb really.

screamingabdab · 12/05/2009 20:59

Marcus?

Sidge · 12/05/2009 20:59

Gregory
Angus
Jonathan
