    I'm a transguy and I want a middle name, but I don't really know what one I should have, I don't really know what will go with Alex/Alexander, I want Alexander to be my full name but have people call me Alex, anyway, I'm thinking maybe something short? idk, I'm thinking about my brother's and mum's middle name, Lee, Alexander Lee Torgerson, or idk, do you have any suggestions? thanks

    I think your existing choice fits really well. I don't generally think of "Lee" as a feminine name (at least unless it's spelled "Leigh") so that it has meaning and helps your masculine intent are both bonuses.

    Just as another choice, perhaps Nathen or Nathanial; just putting it together sounds nice.
    Ultimately remember there is no rush to pick a name, and to take as much time as you need till you are completely satisfied with your result.
