Lindsey for a baby name?

[Rizzle]

My dd is due in March. I’m thinking of calling her Lindsey after an auntie. Is it too dated though?

Yes! Great choice 😉

The spelling is a total pain as people are desperate to throw Is or Ds about but I do prefer how mine looks. I would say they learn but I still get cards from DH family with a random D shoved in or maybe an A if they're feeling wild!

Fab name, I love it. I don't associate it with Gemma/Lisa territory at all!

Hmm Yes, to me it is dated therefore, I would use it as a middle name.

@AnotherLynsey Are you me?!

To those saying it's dated - is that a good or bad thing? I think it's great as it will stand out from all the currently trendy/ overused names!

@Clickncollect - possibly! I also have school friend Linzi (and yes, always thought it was exotic dancer spelling, she's not though sadly )

I did once get a coca-cola bottle with Lynsey on it, quite an achievement I thought!

I went to school with several and I’m going to chuck another variation of the spelling at you: Linsey.

It’s quite nice, I don’t hate it.

I think it’s ok but the number of mis/spellings would put me off

I'm a Lindsay of the 70's, hate it. Nobody ever spells it correctly, even family after all these years. Quite nice for a little girl but not for a woman in her 40's IME.

Nice name, and I definitely prefer your chosen spelling for a girl.

It's ok but don't use that spelling. It's a Surname

Not bad. It is a bit 80s but its pretty and at least is a refreshing change.

I’m personally not a fan of names that have lots of ambiguity around spelling - particularly when there’s a male and a female spelling (see also: Frances/ Francis) You are setting your child up for a future of having to spell it out/correct people and I think that’s a bit mean.

I probably feel a bit more strongly on this due to having a last name you have to spell though!

In all honesty I'd never even consider this name as I don't think it is one that has "come back around" but now you mention it I actually really like it- which surprises me! Definitely makes a refreshing change.
