Help[Opinions] Leigh
in reply to a message by Llewella
My best guess on the "-leigh" = "-lee" thing is the surname Leigh, particularly in reference to Vivien Leigh.
Years ago Lee was both the male and female spelling. Then people began using Leigh for a girl, which is backwards to me because surnames feel more masculine than feminine to me. But I digress.
Anyway, that's the only way I can reconcile "-leigh" being pronounced as "-lee" at the end of created names.
