My mn is Lee, too and I always thought that I'd like to spell it Baylee. I've always wanted to continue the tradition of the Lee mn in my family, but wondered if Baylee was doing the tradition justice, KWIM???
Thanks so much!!

I think it's cute (it's my daughter's CPK's name LOL), but I would definitely stick with the regular Bailey spelling. Any others just make it look overly-trendy and made-up, and many make it seem the syllables should be stressed differently or something (for example, I know a woman who used the spelling Baylee, and on first glance people would try to pronounce it like bay-lee ... almost sounded like bay leaf or something LOL). I think it's because it makes the name look like the syllables would be split differently -- Bailey would be bail-ey and Baylee would be bay-lee, KWIM? So I'd stick with Bailey! :)

I love the name. My 7-year old daughter's name is Bailey Morgan. After we named her that we realized that both of her names were alcoholic drinks. Oops!!!!!!! Sounds good together though.
Some other thoughts:
Bailey Ann
Bailey Jo
Bailey Lynn

it's not one of my favorites - I'm tired of the whole unisex thing.
but Bailey or Bayley are the best spellings if you are going to use it.
and I think you'd want kind of a known girl name - but not really "prissy" sounding, if you know what I mean - not an overly frilly one. something more traditional
like Bailey Christine, Bailey Catherine, Bailey Kathleen, Bailey Corinne, Bailey Elizabeth, Bailey Michelle, Bailey Nicole
good luck
