Re: What do you guys think of the -lee sound name trend?
Mostly I’m bored to death of this trend, when and where will it end??! Although I wouldn’t mind if Beverly made a comeback…Bev is really quite cute…I especially dislike any of the invented ones/the weird spellings but the ones from surnames aren’t so bad although I’m an old fashioned gal so I’d prefer most of them on boys, well, at least Ashley, Oakley, Finley and Harley and maybe a few others, considering surnames-as-1st-names were commonly given to sons back in the day.

Ooh, yeah, I wonder if the popularity of Everly will bring Beverly back! I think it's due for a comeback soon, anyway.They probably would be better on boys, but people don't experiment with names on boys as much, which is either unfortunate or lucky...
