Reply Heather Hiett Oct 10 at 12:02 am Lee is after my grandfather’s middle name magic is after a card game William is after my Great grandfather and Hiett is my last name i was gonna name Luke but everyone has that name so I thought Lee was a good idea Reply erickajen Sep 26 at 11:38 pm we chose lee for our first – brody. it is my husbands middle name also. Reply Morgan Oct 28 at 6:26 pm Lee is my mom’s middle name… I liked it for a boy’s first name, and it sounds good with our last name. Reply Katherine Apr 23 at 4:53 am Lee was my deceased father’s middle name, as well as my father in law’s middle name, so it satisfied both sides of the family. I like that it’s a name you don’t hear often anymore. We don’t know any other boys with his name. I don’t like that it can sound confusing with being so short. One day we were playing with another family of kids and each time I’d say, “Hey, Lee..” their daughter “Haley” would respond.
