Re: Leigh
in reply to a message by Caroline
The only Leigh I know must be in her middle to late 60s, so more Elizabeth than Taylor! (Lovely way to date names - thank you.) She's a quiet, low-key person, lovely singing voice, easy to like. At least one of her sisters had Leigh as a mn, so it must have been in the family.
Thanks to her, I like it on a girl and could face Lee on a boy. Not the other way around, though.
I read somewhere - Leslie Dunkling, I think - that in the UK it was Lee for boys and Leigh for girls, and the opposite in the USA. Is that right, in your experience? I've got a step-nephew Lee who was born in the UK; not sure if he proves anything, though.
