HelpRe: Lee or Leigh?
in reply to a message by MoonAgeDaydreamer
I grew up with Lee as the spelling for both boys and girls. Actress Lee Grant and Jackie Onasis' sister Lee Radziwill are two cases in point.
It's one of the few truly unisex names that I like. The Lee spelling is less surname-y to me. I know that Lee is also a surname so this isn't based on logic. I guess the bottom line is that Leigh looks fussier. I love the look of Lee. Oh, and Lee has been used as a nn for Elizabeth in the past so that also helps to make it less surname-y for me.
