Leigh on a girl as it looks more feminine

---

Lee on a guy because its a good simple looking name.

I'm from the South where we have a long history of loving Lee / Leigh. Lee is more often used for a male while Leigh is more often used for a female so naturally, I prefer things that way. Leigh is more visually appealing to me although I have many, many, many individuals named Lee in my family, lol. IMO, one isn't better than the other.

So are you considering this for a male or female?

Lee for a boy and Leigh for a girl.

I think Lee, even though it's so short.Leigh seems un-necessarily elongated.

Lee for a boy and Leigh for a girl. Lee sounds more masculine, and Leigh sounds softer and more feminine.

Neither is better really ... Lee is more my style, but I think Leigh is appealing too. And as lakin said, Li is also good.

Leigh. It looks more "full" to me.

Lee for a boy, Leigh for a girl.

Lee is fine, so is Li is want to go with the more Asian equivalent!

Lee. Unambiguous pronunciation, obvious spelling. Plus it just looks better. How "gh" came to "look feminine" is beyond me.

I like Lee better for girls and boys. It is more straightforward and it is the correct spelling of the word lee meaning field or shelter from weather. Lee is my younger son's name.

Leigh.

I like Lee.....why?.....it's my middle name and my son's middle name.

I prefer Leigh for a girl. I do, however, abominate Leigha instead of Leah (I had a friend who did this.) It just looks more feminine, that's why I like it for a girl.
