Which spelling is the correct and classic spelling, from your point of view and why?
Both look natural in my head, but apparently it comes from a region called āLindseyā but as a name, it comes from the surname āLindsayā. So both are right, but [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] was used first as a personās name Iām guessing?
Where are you from?
Iām in the UK
Which spelling do you like best?
I like [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u] for a girl, [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] for a boy
On [name_f]Lynsey[/name_f] - [name_f]Lynsey[/name_f] de [name_m]Paul[/name_m] was a singer, represented the UK in Eurovision 1977
to me, the ācorrectā ones are lindsay and lindsey, which i like the most as well. i go back and forth on which i prefer, so i couldnāt tell you.
iām from a non english speaking country
so to me, i do actually cound the d as a sound, even if slight, so iām uncomfortable with all the versions without it.
also, lynsey and such could end up pronounced as an s instead of z?
Here in the US, it used to be [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] was masculine and [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u] feminine. Now there are so many unique spelling variations that who even knows anymore.
Both are correct, and neither look more correct to me.
Iām from the US.
I honestly think I like something like [name_f]Lynsey[/name_f] or [name_f]Linzi[/name_f] best! I think they look fresher (the name is a little dated to me in the US) and donāt remind me as much of politics.
I love [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] and have it on my list! I prefer it to [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u], but only slightly so - I think [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u] is great too.
I am in the UK and I have seen all sorts of spellings.
It is also a male name as well. The current Speaker of the House of Commons is [name_m]Sir[/name_m] [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] Hoyle. With the middle name of [name_m]Harvey[/name_m] and he is a male.
[name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] feels most correct, as it was the first form to be used as a first name (albeit derived from [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u], which in turn was derived from Lincoln).
Iām from Poland.
[name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] is my favourite spelling.
Iām in the US and I prefer [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u]. [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] also feels like a ācorrectā spelling to me, whereas I donāt really care for any but these two spellings. [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u] just feels softer to me and therefore gets my vote
Iām in the US and I prefer [name_u]Lindsay[/name_u] only because that is the spelling I have seen. I also think [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u] is a ācorrectā spelling.
Completely agree with this. Iām from the US. I feel [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u] looks closer to the pronunciation of the name and I like that it comes from the place name.
I actually live in the area that was historically the original [name_u]Lindsey[/name_u]! But both the āLindsayā and āLindseyā spelling look fine to me. I would say I see them around equally often and consider them both to be classic spellingsā¦ anything else seems overly complicated and less fresh to me. It is a dated name in general over here, feels very 80s/90s.
