It's fine as long as you don't spell it "Lynsy." Or "Lynnesee."

Teacher here again. I have been in my present school for 20+ years and the most popular girl names in the school every single year are Ashley and Allison; more than 30 each.

I'm a Lindsay (f) born in the 60s. My niece also, born in the late 90s.

I'm a teacher and there has always been a Lindsay or two in the school.

Only if you're 35. There are no children with those names. Millennial mamas are insane.

DP. I know an eight year old named Ashley.

Not while Lindsay Graham is still active in politics.

Both of these names would be really handsome on a man and are totally boring on a woman. I'll add Kelly and Tracy to that list.

I have a male cousin named Tracy. He’s hated it his whole life.

No. Lindsay

People here are ridiculous. It's a nice name, I prefer the A, and it will be nice to have a child with a unique name instead of another Olivia, Sidney, Isabelle, Madison, Addison, or Taylor.

God I hope not,! It is so overused.

Personally, I wouldn’t use it. Your child will have an “old lady name” her whole life. I (millennial) have a friend named Cheryl and feel so bad for her. It’s like her parents were tone deaf?

Agree. I knew girls named Susan and Linda in high school in the early 00s and their names definitely stuck out as “mom names”.

Hazel was my great-grandmother’s name, and it’s very popular now. Maybe there will be a resurgence soon of Nancys and Barbaras! But I think we need to wait several decades on the Lindsays, Jessicas, Jennifers, Ashleys, etc.
