Re: Greenleigh

But *what* makes it better than Orangeleigh and Blueleigh? That is the question.
Because seriously, I think Greenleigh is so so much better than either one of those, to the point that I like Greenleigh and would wet my pants laughing at an Orangeleigh or a Blueleigh, and I'm trying to figure out why.

I think it's because of the idea of a green lea (meadow). I'm pretty sure that's the inspiration for the names Greenlee etc
But it does sound like greenly, i.e. in a green manner. How greenly grow the grasses, or something. haha.

It might be because Green is a surname and a common element in surnames, but orange and blue aren't. We're more used to hearing "green" names but not "orange" or "blue" ones.

But Blue is a surname also!
Way less common though
