My parents wanted me to be named "Lindsey", which ended up happening. They hated "Lindsay".
But, I used to hate my name for this sole reason: no one, and I mean no one, every spelled it right! Augh! They woudl call and even write Lindsay and I would be so furious.
It gets worse. When I was little, my elementary school principal referred to me as Leslie!
Hey, it's interesting that my favorite band has a member with my name. I found that unusually freaky.
Then again, I had met several other Lindseys, and let's say it's hard to be in the same room with them when someone calls out "Lindsey!"

Funny fact: if my name wasn't Lindsey, I would've been named Lucinda or Whitney (still referring to musicians, weird...)
