Nn for Lindsey

Ok so not a baby name but Lindsey is my name and I hate it as I'm in my 20s and to me Lindsey screams middle aged woman so not so much the name I hate but just it doesn't suit me and it's not my generation so looking for names I can use that are short for Lindsey.

I thought of Liz and Lin but again pretty old fashioned, my middle name is Anne so again old fashioned. (Thanks mum)

I also thought of Elle ('L') but wasn't sure if that was too far away from my name.
I really hate it and want to use something else, I have been called Linz as a teenager but now I'm an adult it doesn't feel right to introduce myself just as Linds as people then just call me Lindsey.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Linnie?

Couldn't you just choose another name that you like? Lindsey is a nice enough name. I'd choose 'Jessica' if I had the chance for my name. I think Lindsey will always be shortened to 'Linz'. My name is similar. I have one nick name I like and one that sounds awful. People always use the awful one no matter how I introduce myself.
