翻译文: 2015年,Leslie被授予54个男孩在美国。
原文: Leslie was given to 54 boys in America in 2015.
原文: I actually think it works fine on either sex, though I prefer the Lesley spelling on a male. I picture a blonde-haired, blue-eyed kid of any gender taking a walk through the countryside. Not a bad name at all, but it's not my favorite, either.

翻译文: Lesley更多地用于女性。 Leslie是更阳性。
原文: Lesley is used more for females. Leslie is more masculine.
原文: I'm 59 and named Leslie. It was a man's name at the time, and I was the only person I knew with this name until college. I pronounce it Les-lie, and I hate it when people insert a z in the middle. Yep, lesbian jokes, which I encountered before I ever even knew what that was!It's a weird thing to know people for years, and pronounce my name correctly multiple times in front of them, and have them never pick up on the difference. I probably should tell people, but I just don't want to make a big deal of it.When I was named this, Les-lie was the pronunciation for a man's name. I kind of liked it because it was very different and I have a strong personality anyway.
原文: The name Leslie is a nice and a great name, I don't really care about which of the genders its used for, the only thing I have considered here is the origin and the real meaning of this name, since names have adverse effects on the bearer. From my little research Leslie/Lesley have the following meaning: in Scottish Gaelic, Leslie means a "garden of Holly's" in Hebrew. It has the following meanings "My father is JOY" "My father is YAHWEH" Yahweh in Hebrew Means "God Almighty" As a father I am considering giving LESLIE to any of my children. However, for those who have been teased by their peers or society, just have this in your mind- the name I am bearing is to please God, not human, and any time someone mentions your name it is a declaration that your father is the heavenly GOD the ALPHA and OMEGA (beginning and the end)!
原文: Growing up I always hated my name Leslie. Most people could never remember my name and for some odd reason they'd call me Ashley, Rachel, or Lindsey instead. It bothered me so much because it's just 6 letters. Being a girl, my friends would jump between shortening it to Les or Lelly. It didn't help that I would get lesbian jokes about my name all the time. My mother had named me after a friend that she knew years ago but never talks to, the same with my middle name Marie. I do remember having an ex that called me Lesby... again it would remind me of being made fun of in school. It was thanks to my family that I started to prefer being called Lelly-Maria and it quickly caught on with close friends. Now my husband has even caught on calling me Lelly and it has started to make me like my name better. In school I was actually the only Leslie in elementary all the way to high school and yes, I've looked through the entire year book... All in all I feel that it's the type of name that grows on you when it's your own name. At least that is how it was for me. Then again at least I was luckier than my sister Michele who had far more issues with people pronouncing or remembering her name.In Fable 3 there is an npc named Leslie who always brightens up my day. I guess it's because we share a name and his evil laugh that he just doesn't quite have down yet. For me it's interesting for a guy in a game but as for real life I don't find it pleasant for either gender to live with.
原文: Hi. I'm a Lesli. Yes, no "e" at the end. My Papaw & Dad have Leslie as their middle names and my Mom's middle name is Ann. So, I'm named after them Lesli Ann. My family & friends call me Lez, LeeLee, Lezzie and when I'm in trouble, LESLI ANN. (lol)I don't get offended by how people pronounce my name, life's too short. I love my name. I think it's beautiful and feminine by the way it's spelled. Leslie is a surname and given name, derived the name of Clan Leslie, ultimately from the place name of Castle Leslie, the clan's historical seat. The name of the castle is probably an Anglicization of an originally Gaelic name, perhaps leas celyn "holly-garden".
原文: I'm also a Leslie with a soft 's' sound not the 'z'. I've always been proud to carry the name since it first belonged to my maternal grandfather, then uncle and cousin- all using it as a middle name. My full name was derived from my grandfather's middle name and my grandmother's middle name (or what my mother thought was her middle name - later found out that she was adopted so that name is not correct but I like the idea). Leslie Jane - it's simple but classic. I get called Les a lot but don't mind that either as long as the 's' is soft. I did get teased some with the lesbian thing...'lez be friends' was the phrase I recall...

翻译文: Leslie Withers是电视游戏“邪恶的内心”中的一个角色。
原文: Leslie Withers is a character in the video game 'The Evil Within'.
原文: My name is Leslie and I despise when people pronounce it as Lez-lie instead of Less-lie when I introduce myself I very clearly say Less-lie... Leslie. I know other people with the same spelling of my name and do pronounce it the other way, but personally I hate it and that is not how it is said with me.[I'm female, my husband's grandpa's name is also Leslie and pronounces it the same way as me]
原文: My name is Leslie, I am female and love my name because it is not common. I was named for the character Elizabeth Taylor played in the movie "Giant".
原文: I own a facebook page called Mackenzie Ziegler with 39k likers and this is one of the owners' names. I think it works for a girl more than for a boy. I would use it for my son, I would use it for a middle name not for a first name. I see NOTHING masculine about this name!
原文: Not a fan. Reminds me of lesbian- especially with this spelling. And maybe because of that, this name on a male is very laughable. Poor guy! Also, the name is just ugly and outdated.
原文: This is my name. One recommendation if you're going to give this name is to decide on pronunciation: LEZ-lee or LESS-lie. My parents say the latter, but other people (and I) tend to say the former. Neither of my parents ever "corrected" anyone- teachers, doctors, etc, so when someone asks me as an adult which it is, I say, "either one." It's pretty lame, but I don't want two people calling me two different names, thinking the other is wrong.

翻译文: 我真的不喜欢这个名字。对于一个男孩来说似乎太女性化,对于一个女孩来说太阳性化了。
原文: I don't really like this name. It seems too feminine for a boy and too masculine for a girl.
原文: I used to adore this name. I liked Zinnia-Leslie when I was little... but I'm not a fan of hyphenated names anymore. Also, when I was in middle school, the boys would call the girls "Leslies" by way of calling them lesbians. It was a stupid immature teasing thing that didn't die out for about three or four years. Now it's all I can think about, even though I don't care if a person is a lesbian or not, it's not something I want to think about when naming someone.

翻译文: 在迪斯尼频道的汉娜·蒙塔纳电视节目中,杰克·瑞恩(他是一个角色,我不知道演员的名字)说他的名字是莱斯利。在书中,Bridge to Terrabitha,有一个叫Leslie Burke的女孩死了。
原文: In the Hannah Montana TV series on Disney Channel, Jake Ryan (he’s a character, I’m not sure about the actor’s name) said that his name was Leslie. And in the book, Bridge to Terrabitha, there was a girl named Leslie Burke, who dies.
原文: Along with Pat, this is one of those unisex names that offer mass confusion on whether it's a more appropriate male or female name. Sounds like a female name, but was first a male name. Like or dislike, your mail will probably be addressed with the wrong pre-fix, all the same.
原文: A famous bearer is American actor Leslie David Baker (born February 19, 1958). He is best known for his portrayal of Stanley Hudson on the American TV program "The Office".
原文: In the U.S., both the LESLIE and LESLEY spellings are considered largely feminine. In Britain, the convention seems to be that the former spelling is used for boys and the latter for girls. I don't believe this is absolute, however, I do recall a British Lesley, telling my ex Leslie (American), "Oh, you spell it the boys' way."The etymology of the name seems to be quite vague and certainly disputed. "From the grey fort"? "Small meadow"? You name it. And of course, the pronunciation isn't exactly settled either, with some pronouncing it "LES-lee" and other "LEZ-lee." For a relatively simple and straightforward name, this one raises a lot of questions.
原文: I like this name. For a boy, not for a girl. On a girl, it reminds me of an obnoxious little kid with pigtails and big buckteeth. On a boy, it reminds me a cute, lovable, scruffy guy. I don't know why, but it does. However, I wouldn't name my son this, no matter how much I'd want to. He'd be teased mercilessly, even though Leslie WAS originally a masculine name. Oh, and a (sort of) famous bearer is Leslie Rudd, a character on the webcomic Friendly Hostility (http://www.friendlyhostility.com/). Yeah, that's where I got it from.
原文: I can't really imagine this name on a male anymore. It's not a bad name on a female, as long as it's pronounced LES-lee, not LEZ-lee. Too bad the name makes me think of the abstinence only education proponent Leslee Unruh, who has basically ruined this name for me.

翻译文: 我喜欢这个名字!我喜欢它更好的一个女孩,虽然。我认为Leslie的中间名是Marie。
原文: I love this name! I like it better for a girl though. I think a good middle name for Leslie is Marie.
原文: I totally agree with what the user called 'queenv' who says this about the name Leslie: "The first syllable always reminds me of the word "lesbian." I have absolutely nothing against lesbians, but it's just not what I want to think of when I hear a name."I'm personally not a fan of the name Leslie for EITHER gender! I honestly don't see ANY appeal. :/
原文: I've always really disliked the name Leslie, especially for a girl. For one thing, it sounds more masculine than feminine. The two syllables starting with the same letter are not attractive, and neither is the harsh Z sound in the middle. The first syllable always reminds me of the word "lesbian." I have absolutely nothing against lesbians, but it's just not what I want to think of when I hear a name.

翻译文: Leslie Hornby是Twiggy模型的真名。
原文: Leslie Hornby is the real name of the model Twiggy.
原文: I have a friend whose name is "Lezlie". I've always liked the unique twist replacing the s with a z puts on this classic name without maiming it (ie Lyndsye).
原文: Actually it is a masculine name ancient Scottish. It is also an Scottish surname. It has only in more recent times been attached to females. As it was a traditional Scottish name. So much misinformation on the internet.

原文: For the longest time I didn't like this name. It was the name my parents almost gave me too. When I heard it today I thought it sounded too pretty and refreshing from all the other common names. For myself, I prefer it for a girl. But I do know of 2 males with this name who are adults.

原文: @Anonymous from 8/4/2006, That is a very ignorant statement. Are you saying Joshua and Henry also belong on girls and girls only because of the sounds they end in?The appropriate gender of a name depends on meaning (relative to language) and history; not the way they sound, which is relative to opinion.
