Due in late July and don't know gender. We've had a girl name set in stone for really long time... but can't seem to decide on a boy name. We like a few names, but none are like "THAT'S IT, THAT'S THE NAME!" LoL We joke it's going to be a boy because we can't decide on the name, and the hospital won't discharge us until we decide for the birth certificate.
Really like the name Leigh (my dad's middle name), and prefer it to be a first name... but it seems to be a better middle name. So open to any suggestions for a good middle name to fit Leigh.
We kind of like Leigh Edwin (both our dads' middle names), and are considering calling him Leo because our last name starts with an O.
Another name we are leaning towards is Jacob Leigh.
We also like the name Killian and Kendrick... but unsure about nicknames.
So yeah... any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
The nice thing about Leigh, is it works with almost any name. I'd avoid names with a long e sound (Finley Leigh would be odd, but Finnegan or Phineas Would flow well.)
I don't mind throwing out suggestions blind, but your current choices are a bit hard to pin down a style, so I'd also like to hear your girl name for some inspiration.
Thanks ladies! My husband isn't too keen on Edwin as a first name, so that is going to be a hard pitch. We are kind of hoping for an Irish name, but it doesn't have to be. I'm literally open to any suggestions at this point.
We have chosen Sullivan (Sully) if we have a boy which I am so in love with. I understand its an Irish surname. However, I guess if you are actually Irish that would sound strange with an Irish lastname?just a thought.
I agree that Leigh is much more feminine than Lee and would definitely assume girl if I was looking at the name on paper. Since it is your dad's name and the spelling has a connection for you, I'd keep it in the middle name spot. Jacob Leigh is a good, solid name! Other ideas:
Anderson Leigh Benjamin Leigh Connor Leigh Edmund Leigh Edward Leigh Henry Leigh Ian Leigh Isaac Leigh James Leigh Judah Leigh Malcolm Leigh Oliver Leigh Steven Leigh William Leigh
Re: Boys names are the hardest
To be honest I would use Lee vs Leigh since that is huge trend wise in being cutesy for girl names. I would probably assume Leigh was female.
what is your girl name maybe that would help with suggestions?
