My name has a male and female variant It was number 36 the year I was given it It was acceptable in the 80s It's a bit French It's also a little bit Essex Most people shorten it

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

This is fun.
Mine has a lot of different spellings and people usually get them wrong.
It's not spelled like the Freaky Friday girl (but I do look a bit like her haha)
A certain actor called Robert had it as his surname (again spelled differently to mine)

Edited

Lindsey?

I don't think my name is particularly popular these days but the male shortened version is. When I was at school there was a supply teacher who misheard me say my name and thought I was called Martha, maybe something to do with my west country accent? I was born late 60s if it helps.

Not sure my name has been massively popular. It means 'black' in Greek and back in the 90's 2 girls from a very well known girl band were called it!!

Same as me, Melanie!

Mine is Biblical, ageless and timeless but not very popular in the 1950s.
May be spelt with or without a certain consonant making it either a 4 or 5 letter name.
