Leslee

Leslee

Leslee is an alternative spelling of the more common Leslie. Leslee saw some popularity in the United States during the 1940s and 1950s, but it has since fallen out of favor. We could see it making a comeback as a fresher version of what has been quite a beloved name for well over a century. While Leslee (and Leslie) have been used for both boys and girls over the years, it's more common with girls these days. We like the way it sounds with short, sweet one-syllable middle names.
