[Opinions] Nameleigh
I've loved the name Haleigh Grace for years now, and when the time comes, will most likely use it. I was wondering, though, what others' opinions are on "leigh" names to go with Grace. It would be a double first name, and the 1st fn needs to be spelled *leigh. (or *eigh if you can think of a suitable name)

I dunno why, but Everleigh is striking me as a good one. There's also Carleigh, Marleigh, Paisleigh (I like the sound, but the spelling's bugging me), and Nataleigh. For -eigh names, there's Kinseigh, Maiseigh, Kayseigh, Staseigh, Paceigh / Paseigh, Toreigh, etc.
I would rather see just Leigh Grace. I dislike the ending "leigh", it looks like it should be said "lay", as in sleigh. It also looks really pretentious and boring.
Ashleigh Grace
Maryleigh Grace (I have seen this used before)
Actually, you could just use this:

or just take any “lee” name and change it to Leigh. You’d have a lot more options this way.

I think Haleigh Grace is a lovely combo (prefer Hailey).
Carleigh Grace
Harleigh Grace
Marleigh Grace
Raleigh Grace (Raleigh is listed as a boys name but I think it's feminine enough for a girl to pull off. It's great because it's "legitimate", too, where as other -leigh names might be considered "creative".)

I also want to pronounce the -leigh "ley" rather than "lee". Spelt this way, these names just look kr8tiv and contrived.
Is Leigh a family surname for you? Is that why you want to incorporate it so much? If so, then I'd prefer to see it left in tact, Leigh Grace. If the flow bothers you, then how about Leigh Graciela?
If Leigh is not a family surname, then I don't care for it. The "-leigh" endings on names just look contrived to me. It was unique on Ashleigh Banfield. But now it just looks tired.

I dont like Leigh names myself but I have seen all sorts, nearly every name with lee or Ley on the end has been converted to leigh, All of the ones below I have actually seen over the years, I used to have a list of loads of names ending in Leigh/lee/ley and Lyn/ lynn which a freind gathered from birth announcements but I have lost it,
