which is for boys- Lindsay or Lindsey?

[nowwearefour]

pretty sure both can be for both but which is predominantly male one? not thinking of using it btw but need to write a card to a man named this name and i wnat to maximise my chance of picking the right one!

[SherbetDibDab]

Very pleased you're not using it.

I think it's 'e' for a man. My tactic when I'm not sure is to slur my handwriting a bit, then he'll just read what he wants to see.

[Maggie00]

Well, I know two female Lindsays and they are both ay, but then 'ey' doesn't look masculine.

I go with the slopey handwriting suggestion!!!!

[lifeas3plus1]

I have a male friend called Linzi so you could always opt for choice 3. lol.

But yes, Slurred handwriting is alway's a winner.

[MarianneD]

The male version is "ey"

[wickedfairy]

In Scotland, the male version is Lindsay (my male cousing is also called this)

[pointydog]

Lindsay

[mathanxiety]

Squiggly handwriting. Though I would say 'AY' for a man.

[SoupDragon]

I thought Lindsay was male.

[nowwearefour]

so there isnt a consensus on this. the worst thing is i even asked his wife but have since forgotten waht she said. ahhh! i think the scottish thing might just win and i might go with a in a squiggly kind of way. but i did think it was ey so am totally confused!

[mathanxiety]

Blots and blobs are very handy at times like this too.

[mcflumpy]

Lindsay is male in Scotland.

[jurisfictionoperative]

My dad is called Lindsay. Is a scots name for a man. x

[firsttimestepdad]

My wife to be's name is spelt Lyndsey

[Pingpong]

I'm sure you have written the card by now but Lindsay is the definitely the male version in Scotland and females seem to use any variety of spellings.

[Greensleeves]

I dunno, I reckon people use both for both

I liked Linden - as in lime trees - but everyone said I would have to spell it Lyndon so I ditched it

[Fimbow]

I have only ever seen it spelt Lindsay for a male. Dh's mate is this and we are Scottish!

[Saltire]

I too have only ever seen it spelt as Lindsay for a man

[Mishmash82]

My sister name was Lindsey but she sometimes used to spell it Lyndsey but never seen it spelt ay for a girl I also have an anti who's is spelt the same way
