Re: Lee Vs. Leigh
Lee is unisex. I think Leigh as a second name (as in Anna Leigh) doesn't seem any more feminine than Lee.
The big difference between Lee and Leigh in my view, is that Leigh seems to be striving at seeming "classy," and Lee doesn't.
If it's the only name, Leigh does seem to slightly indicate feminine gender, but not absolutely.
I prefer Lee regardless of gender.- mirfak

Agree. But to me, Leigh is all female, and I'd assume Leigh was a female unless I was told otherwise, then I'd wonder why the spelling.
I also agree that for a double name, the spelling doesn't matter. It might seem needlessly fancified.
