Lots of people are saying it's a shame that it's unisex because it's purely feminine but it WAS ORIGINALLY A MALE NAME.

Updating from what I've said in the first paragraph of my earlier comment, from what I've found in the passenger lists, birth and marriage indexes, the results (which is also available on my blog in a bit more detail) show that Lindsay began to be turned into a feminine-majority name after the WWII and by 1950, by a sum of 50 persons, 74% of Lindsays born that year are women.
With Lindsey, though it wasn't as common as Lindsay until the 60s, it already became a feminine-majority name by 1945.

In Britain (well, more specifically, England & Wales), by the 1950s or 1960s, Lindsay (along with Lindsey) began to be used much more frequently on girls than on boys. That is not to say that Lindsay/ey began to be used as an all-girl name.
In 1966, excluding those without a middle name or only an initial in their (1st) middle name in birth records (provided by ancestry. Co. uk), around 289 females and 36 males were given the name Lindsay. When compared with Lindsey, Lindsie, Linsay, Linsey, Linzi, Lyndsay, Lyndsey and Lynsey (variant of Lindsay), a combined total would be 710 females and 53 males.
The name and its variants continued to increase in popularity in the 1970's with a combined total of 1,310 females and 40 males in 1973. In that same year, 294 females and 25 males were given the name Lindsay. At that time, variants like Lyndsay, Lyndsey and Lynsey increased in popularity thanks in part to Lynsey De Paul, the English singer-songwriter who became famous in 1972 for her songs (i.e. "Sugar Me"). When the number of people born with Lyndsay, Lyndsey and Lynsey are combined, the total would be 375 females and 6 males in 1973 compared to 70 females and 4 males in 1966.
The peak of the popularity occurred in the first half of the 1980s. In 1980, 651 females and 21 males were given the name Lindsay with a combined total of 2, 522 females and 43 males. By then, its popularity began to decrease and by 1996, 52 females and around 2 males were given the name Lindsay with a combined total 255 females and around 5 males (which, for the combined total, is just under a tenth of what it was in 1980).
In 2013, only 3 girls were given the name Lindsay and so, the name is now very rarely given to girls and boys.

Lindsay was popular for males before it was "hijacked."
