Bemusedly, I Relay.... (2014)

All the -lee sounding names from 2014, from most --> least common (most common spelling of each only).
Usual disclaimer: many are, of course, established names in English or other languages, but since they do (presumably) end in the -lee sound, they're being counted, as they do contribute (however slightly) to the trend.

  1. Woah! You have a way of compiling data that I didn't even know I cared about! This list is sort of overwhelming, but it's also totally interesting. Great work!

  2. This is such a long list! I skimmed it a little bit and found some pretty cool names. I'm going to keep this list saved and find all of the names I like from it. Thanks for making this and putting in all the work!
