I hate my middle name but, my husband want it to be our daughter first name. . .?

Question

My husband wants us to use both of our middle names for our daughters name. . .My middle name is Olivia and his middle name is Lee but, we might spell it Leigh. . .What do you all think?

Which spelling?

Olivia Lee or Olivia Leigh

Answer 1

Olivia Leigh

this is really pretty and cute, congrats&&good luck!!

x*x

Answer 2

Olivia is old school, but its such a cool name.  Olivia Lee sounds great, but I would go with Olivia Lea.  LEA is the closest spelling to the original LEE.  My name is Virginia Lea, but I have always gone by Lea.  She could go by Lea or Livy, both are great names.  

Answer 3

Hi, I think they are lovely names, my middle name is Lee, as I have a few male friends and their names are spelt Leigh.

But it depends on what you would prefer.

It is cute..........Olivia Lee

Answer 4

I like Olivia Leigh a lot... it's really a beautiful name.  

Answer 5

combine them and you ge Lia (i actually dont know how to spell it but i like the name)

Answer 6

Olivia is a cute name.  I like Olivia Leigh.

Answer 7

my first name is Ashleigh so I am quite partial to Leigh...it gives it more character plus its a more feminine way to spell it

Answer 8

Olivia Lee - if it's after him, why change it? Coming after Olivia, there will be no confusion despite the "masculine" spelling.

Don't hate your middle name! Olivia is cute and pretty - my cousin Olivia is called "Livi" for short - it's sweet.

Answer 9

I Think Oliva Leigh sounds lovely. or u cud put the both name 2gether and call her Ollie lol

Answer 10

this baby will have the name FOREVER! so if you hate it think twice! my mom  passes down Terry as my first name and I HATE it-- can't wait to change my name!!!!

What about spelling the middle name LEA, it looks pretty...

Answer 11

Olivia is lovely, but very very common. And Lee is filler as a middle.

How about a variant of both?

Olive Ainslee

Olive Leeanne

Olive Natalie

Olivette Ainslee

Olivette Leeanne

Olivette Natalie

Lee is a true unisex name, and either spelling works for both genders. My name is Janie Lee.

If anything, Leigh looks more masculine than the double ee's, since when used as a boy's first name, most always it's spelled Leiigh, while Lee is generally the spelling for middle names.

Answer 12

OR Olivia Lea - any of these ways, I love it!

Answer 13

I like Olivia Leigh, but if you don't like YOUR middle name, why give it to your daughter as a first name?  You'll just be saying a name you don't ike, and she might not like it either.  I'd say to give her a unique name that hasn't been used on anyone before.  You could also do ______  (First name) Olivia Leigh.

Hope I helped!

Answer 14

Olivia Leigh. Leigh looks more feminine. It is a pretty name.

Answer 15

Olivia Leigh.

I think it's a pretty name :]

Answer 16

Olivia Leigh..Cute idea btw

Answer 17

I like Olivia Leigh, using the spelling 'Leigh' creates a more feminine flow to the name. It's very pretty & I like your husbands idea of using your middle names together.

Good luck & God Bless

Answer 18

it has to be Olivia Lee if you spell it Leigh then it isnt after her father is it ? Olivia Lee is lovely

Answer 19

Lee is generally considered the masculine form, though not always.  I'd go with Leigh.

Answer 20

Olivia Leigh, because it is more feminine.

Answer 21

Olivia Lee is ok... i have a female cousin whose name is Erika Lee.. lee would be alright i guess.. since you are planning to use your middle names, then you use Lee..  

Answer 22

i love the name olivia! its beautiful hon! lee is more for a guy so i would go with leigh(more for a girl). olivia leigh is a pretty name! i like it!!!

Answer 23

Oliva Lia/Leah

I love Olivia Leah
