A boy called Lindsey
 
kind of funny article on the bbc news site, doesn't actually mention our Lindsey, but it's about growing up as a boy with a girl's name.

Bedankt, maar in amerika schijnt het een vrij veel voorkomende jongensnaam te zijn of ben ik mis ?

Indeed... or like Chris, also a boy/girl name.

Yes, right, Hum...

I alsways thought that Lindsey was a boy's name and Lindsay was a girl's name. :shrug:

I've never met a male Lindsey/ay before. However, I know it can be spelled either way for either gender. I've met girls named Lindsey and Lindsay, and Walter Egan's middle name is Lindsay with an A.

The first time I met a female Lindsay, I thought she had a boys name.

*poking tongue out at you until it dries and tastes weird*

Allright, you've got a point... *shrugs shoulders into a cramp*

Yes, Lindsey Graham. He is a Senator from S. Carolina I believe.

and our Lindsey had curls too..I bet he did have a hard time in Middle School...he had a sport he was really good at though so that would have helped.

There is a student in my aftercare bunch at the Middle School where I tutor called Dylan-I feel so badly for him-he's small, has curly black hair and if you didn't know you'd think maybe he was a girl..Middle Schoolers are not known for tact or kindness..

Nice article - I was in third grade with a boy named Courtney and I remember thinking it strange - but he was a quiet lad and I don't recall anyone making fun of him.

I once had a theory, though, that males with "female names" were jerks....mostly because I had an evil EVIL band director named Leslie and I loathed him....but I've since met a couple of "female named" men who are quite lovely :D

I've heard of a good few guys called Lindsey, besides Mr. Buckingham.

Yep, the actress, Michael Learned.

Would it be too much to hope she ends up starring in a film called "A Lesson"? :)
