I would say the name Ray Lee sounds too much like the kre8tiv name Raylee.
What types of names do you like? Classic? Classic yet different? Popular?

Because 'Raelee/Raylee' is being used as a trendy girl's names these days, I agree that Ray Lee is a bit feminine sounding. Do either names have personal significance to you? (family names?) I suggest using a family name as a the mn, if not first. Raymond Lee is a nicer choice and flows better. I wouldn't pair up two 1-syllable names together, it never sounds great.

Raymond Lee

Anders Blake

Wade Josiah

Leland Gage

Elias Montgomery

Silas Grant

Atticus John

Asher Elliott

Beckett Rafe

Everett/Rhett Jameson

Tobias Quinn

Dashiel Marek

Eric Thatcher

Dalton Isaiah

HTH, see anything you like?

Miles
Sean
Keith
Gregory
Adrian
Calvin
Heath
Wade
Mitchell
Abram
Quentin
Everett
Grant
Reid
Davis

If you really like Ray, it will sound more masculine if you pair it with a different mn:


Ray Joseph, Ray Michael, etc.


If you really like a double name, Lee will also sound more masculine paired with a different fn:


Roy Lee, John Lee, Joseph Lee, etc.


Hope this helps.

i think Ray is fine for a boy, I just think it needs a 2-syllable middle name. like Ray Matthew or Ray Joseph or something like that. but here are some other names you may like:

Jack
Owen
Sean
Blake
Liam
Bryce
Max
Brody
Drew
Levi
Reid/Reed
Rhys/Reece
Rider/Ryder
Rory
Ross
Ryland
Royden
Troy
Toby
