Interesting that the name Lesley(ie) is used in Scotland for girls and for boys, with spellings ...ey and ...ie respectively.
The ie spelling originates with the village in Fife now forming the 'old' part of Glenrothes. The ey version originates to my knowledge with the poem, but is very inconsistently used, especially in US/Canada where Leslie for the girls' name is common. The poem clearly needs more publicity.
