Lindsey is a nice name, but kind of overused. I can talk about it all I want, as it is my name. It annoys me when people spell it "Lindsay" because it looks like it's pronounced Lin-ZAY. People misspell it a lot. One girl Lyndsey gets it misspelled like everyday.
Lindsey was used more during the 1980's and 1990's.

This is my last name which was changed from Lindsay to Lindsey in the 16th century when they came to England from Scotland. We are a very old Scottish family that can be traced as far back as Sir James Lindsay of the clan Lindsay of Scotland in 1010. They are known financial supporters of William Wallace.
I like Lindsey as a boy's name when spelled with an 'e', but with an 'a' for a girl. Can't explain it! Also Lindsey is the name of a character on TV show Angel - and he's male.
My name is Lindsey, and I like it with the "e" much better than with the "ay." I think Lindsay is more masculine or better for a last name, and Lindsey is more feminine. I also think it doesn't make sense that it is sometimes spelled with an "a", because it is almost always pronounced Lind-see, not Lind-say.
I much prefer this spelling to Lindsay. I don't know why, but if you name her Lindsay, it seems like you have to say "LYN-D-SAAAAY", as if you SAY a word. I prefer Lindsey.
Not only is Lindsey a very pretty Scottish name but it is also the name of a Scottish tartan too. I'm not sure how the tartan Lindsey/Lindsay is spelt but I too prefer the name spelt Lindsey. I know someone called Lindsey. There's discussions between my father and I for me to add a Scottish name to the rest of my names that I already have. I have been looking up at a majority of Scottish names, and the name I think I will choose out of them is the name Lindsey.

There is also East and West Lindsey in Lincolnshire (I think it is!) and also there is a small village in Lincolnshire by the name of Kirton in Lindsey! Both place names are spelt Lindsey.

I prefer Lindsey with an E to be on a boy, whereas Lindsay with an A is for a girl. It's a very nice name besides.
I know I've commented for this name (my name, actually), before, but now I have new insights. As I said before, I like it better with an "e" than an "a" for girls. I think the name is very simple, but not a classic or boring name. It's simple, but pretty at the same time. It's not a super-modern, trendy name, and not too popular, though I do know at least two other Lindseys (or Lindsays). I love its meaning--"linden island." Sometimes I wish I had other names, but I am proud to be named Lindsey! :)
I named my daughter Lindsey. Love it! I like it spelled ey.

This is my first name and I love it. It's common, but it's not too common. It's a very pretty name for a girl. I prefer it to be spelled "Lindsey" and not "Lindsay". "Lindsey" is how you say it, not "lind-SAY." "Lyndsey" isn't a bad way to spell it either.

Lindsey Vonn is an American skier who won World cup 2007/2008 and she leads in World cup 2008/2009.
My name is Lindsey, and I like it pretty much. What bothers me, though, is when people say/call me "Lin-zee." I much prefer it to sound like a soft "ds," like "Lin-dsey," but unfortunately many people don't do this. :(
I prefer this spelling in English and Linzi in Croatian. Lindsay looks like it should be pronounced LINN-say or LIND-say, not LIND-see or LINN-zee. I pronounce Lindsey LINN-zee, LINN-see, LIND-zee or LIND-see.

Lindsey Lee Wells is a character in An Abundance of Katherines by John Green.
I just can't believe this used to be a boys name. That has really put me off this name for some reason. I don't know why I have a problem with it. I seem to accept Ashley but just not Lindsey. Maybe because it is so girly sounding just the thought on a boy totally ruins it.

I actually prefer this spelling to Lindsay, since the pronunciation is more intuitive.
Lindsey is my last name and I love it, except when people ask you what your last name is, you tell them, and they say, "No, your last name." Then you have to say, "That IS my last name!" I have a cousin whose first name is Lindsey after the family name.
