I met a man named [name]Lindsey[/name] today, I think he was around mid 50s, I was a little surprised but from what I could tell no one thought his name was weird or that he had a “girls” name, it’s nms but I was happy to see it used. WDYT nameberries? Is it usable for boys?
I actually prefer it as a boy’s name (wasn’t it originally masculine?). Not necessarily a great association to me, but there’s also Senator [name]Lindsey[/name] [name]Graham[/name].
[name]Lindsey[/name] [name]McDonald[/name] was a character on [name]Angel[/name], and because of that I can totally see it on a guy. It’s also a surname. I’ve never thought of it as being feminine.
No please don’t! That would be mean! It’s like [name]Ashley[/name]; it might once been used for a boy but it would be mean these days. It isn’t a unisex name either.
I think [name]Lindsey[/name] is soooooo handsome!
Hello, [name]Lindsey[/name] Buckingham!
I actually met a guy last year named [name]Lindesay[/name]. He’s 24, I thought it was awesome 
You must not be from the South because down here [name]Lindsey[/name] and [name]Ashley[/name] are still used for boys, nothing mean about it
I [name]Love[/name] the name [name]Ashley[/name]- i would spell it [name]Ashly[/name] though- for a boy so i dont have a problem with using the name [name]Lindsy[/name]-i would use this spelling- for a boy
I know several guys named [name]Lindsey[/name] ranging in age from teens to sixties.
I accidentally get called [name]Lindsey[/name] quite often by mistake; my name is [name]Leslie[/name]. I know both names are technically unisex, but I cannot help but to cringe thinking of [name]Leslie[/name] on a male, particularly in the US. To me, [name]Lindsey[/name] feels like quite a feminine name, and I really like it–for a girl (although I slightly prefer the spelling [name]Lindsay[/name]). I CAN understand the intrigue behind the name [name]Lindsey[/name] for a male, but I think I’m just too close to the source here to fully appreciate it! 
In the UK I knew of both a male [name]Lindsey[/name] and a male [name]Leslie[/name] and thought nothing of it. I always assumed they were unisex but with [name]Lindsay[/name] and [name]Lesley[/name] being more common for girls.
But this is why unisex names always trend to the girls. Because people say things like it would be cruel to name a boy xxxxx. And it’s not about girls stealing these names either. Why does it matter if a boy and a girl share a name? Honestly kids think of it as much less of a deal than the adults do until they learn these prejudices from the adults.
I really agree with this, and it goes way beyond naming.
i like lindsey much better for a boy, but would never use it since im afraid the girls have taken it over
I went school and ran track with a boy named [name]Lindsey[/name]. He mostly went by a nn based on his last name though. IDK if he got teased or not but he did not pass on his name to either of his sons.
I know several male and female Lindseys - totally unisex, as far as I’m concerned. Ditto [name]Ashley[/name].
I actually much prefer [name]Lindsey[/name] on a boy.
I met a male [name]Lindsey[/name] (a few times, because he was my substitute teacher quite often in middle and high school). He was from Australia, and I guess it’s quite common there. I’m okay with it on a guy, but if it’s spelled [name]Lindsay[/name], I’d rather see it on a girl.
I would be happy to see it used, definitely! Then again, I’m all for unisex names on the boys. I agree that the kids would really think nothing of it (I met a guy named [name]Ashley[/name]–well, mn [name]Ashley[/name]–yesterday and I thought it was cool that we shared a name, haha)–I hope the adults wouldn’t ruin it for everyone else.
Due to knowing SO many girls named [name]Lindsay[/name], it’s one of the few unisex names I like on girls, but I definitely would be happy to meet a boy with the name. Because if [name]Lindsay[/name] could work, then my beloved [name]Bailey[/name] could work, too.
I agree completely on that last part…adults have more problems with “teasing” than children.
I have friends named [name]Mackenzie[/name] and [name]Blake[/name]. Can you guess who’s a boy and who’s a girl? [name]Mackenzie[/name] is a tough, masculine, loves to work and get dirty kind of boy. And [name]Blake[/name] is a petite, pretty, and very stylish girl.
Here in Australia I haven’t heard of a [name]Lindsay[/name] or a [name]Leslie[/name]/ey for yonks. I think [name]Lindsay[/name] is a terrific name but I dislike [name]Leslie[/name] especially for a girl.
I think [name]Lindsay[/name] has the same vibes as [name]Julian[/name] and [name]Rupert[/name] and love the nn of [name]Lin[/name] for a boy.
rollo
Being 1 of thousands of female Lindsays, I don’t know. It was used for both men and women in my family in the past but has since become girls only. I would not have a problem with meeting a male [name]Lindsay[/name] but it just does not feel unisex to me. I guess because I am such a frilly and girly girl, and I think my name suits me PERFECTLY, that I have a hard time seeing a boy where it.
