As a man named “Lyndsy”, this is interesting :)
I know much of the story of my name. I’m named after my great-grandfather, with first and middle names reversed. His middle name was “Lindsey”, after his grandmother’s maiden name. (... and back and back and back ...)
I named my eldest daughter Lynzy, to continue the tradition. I’ve apologized for her having to go through life with a “boy’s name” :)
- Gunax 7y agoDoes the name have to get one letter shorter each generation as well?
- JshWright 7y ago> I named my eldest daughter Lynzy, to continue the tradition. And that's why I always ask patients how to spell their name, no matter how common it sounds...
- LyndsySimon 7y agoYep. I wouldn’t have done that, but my own name varies from the historical spelling as well.
- madcaptenor 7y agoMy wife is a Linsey; she jokes that her parents "couldn't afford the D".
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoBack and back and back... to a clan in Scotland? (One branch of my wife's family is goes back to Clan Lindsay.)
- LyndsySimon 7y agoYes. I can trace it back to David, Bishop of Ross Lindsay.
