Comment left Jun 29, 2008: "My name is Jacqueline Leigh and I was born in 1980- I have always gone by Leigh.
I like it- it's not weird, but it is unique and I never had to share my name with anyone in school.
For anyone thinking of naming their daughter this, I am very feminine. Oddly enough, I would not like Leigha (or Leah)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 10, 2008: "Im an English Leigh! Born in 1984 in Birmingham, UK. I wouldn't change my name for anything else! I love it!!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jun 02, 2008: "I love it. It's short, simple, uncommon, yet not too "out there". And I love the spelling - I wouldn't like it as much as "Lee".
It's a little weird how much I love my name..." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 06, 2008: "I was born in 1985 as a Leigh (female). I love my name, it is uniqu and odd, fitting me perfectly. I do have a lot of people trying to call me lay or Leah, which in my mind is like calling me Bob, but i deff wouldnt trade it!! I have only met one other female named Leigh and she was quite a bit older then me. I also met a guy named Leigh, they were both happy with the spelling. I have to say though, i think it's more suited to females then males. At least this spelling." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 02, 2008: "Although the spelling is nice, it sounds like Lee the boys and just doesnt sound right calling a girl Lee. Leigha is so much prettier and feminine." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 28, 2008: "It's my name. I love it! I like that it's a name that not many people have. I don't have to share a name with someone in my class or anything. BUT, I do love meeting people with the name. It's beautiful. The only thing is that people always write my name Lee and pronounce it Leah or Lay. But overall, I recommend the name."

Comment left Mar 28, 2008: "I've never met anyone with my name! That makes it cool. Though yeh i've been called "lay" a lot in school and stuff, and people tend to think i'm a guy but whatever. its cool because leigh is unisex. when i was younger i wanted to change my name, but nah, its cool coz its different."

Comment left Mar 18, 2008: "hi. my name is leigh and its alright. its different but i absolutely love it. well normally i don't but all of you people have made me think about it so ROCK ON LEIGHs we have to stick together like the birds of a feather...this reminds me of a song... so be happy with your name.don't play games. its good to see WITH YOUR NAME LEIGH! tell me if you like it!!"

Comment left Feb 23, 2008: "my name is leigh and i was born in 1988. i love my name and would think that anyone should be happy to have it. its an uncommen name which is part of the reason i like my name so much. its well known but i dont know many people that share my name around my age. the only problem i would complain of would be no one ever being able to spell it correctly and always spelling it LEE the boys way when i am a girl" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 01, 2008: "Sure, Leigh is a pretty name...if you're a girl!! But if you're a guy like me, it's an endless battle of being made fun of. So please "parents to be", if you want to name your SON this name, spell it the boys way...Lee. Trust me, you don't want your son to go through what I've gone through for so many years.
- Leigh (sigh!)" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Aug 11, 2007: "My name is leigh (pronounced Lee). People always ask me why it isn't spelled the easy way. And why isn't it pronounced "lay". But I hear people tell me its very beautiful, especially they way it is spelled, so I guess I will keep it for now." (Report as inappropriate)
