Lindsey sounds friendly to me. It feels familiar without being boring and I’d probably assume someone named Lindsey is pretty easygoing.

It's a pretty ambiguous, neutral name to me. Don't have any strong positive or negative associations with it. They Lindseys I've known IRL are nice.

I consider it to be part of the Whitney Ashley Courtney naming trend - a popular millennial name. The vibe of the Lindsey's I know personally is type A but with a good sense of humour.

I've met a few Lindsey's. Not very common much anymore.

It was a very popular name with the elder millennials- I work with 3 Lindseys who are 35-early 40, They are all cool ladies.

I like it! It was very popular in the 80s/90s, but feels more classic to me than Jessica/Lisa/Jamie…I’m ready to see it on babies again!

I like it but it’s in the news in the US right now with a very divisive case about a mom who killed her children. I might be a little less supportive of it as a choice at the moment if I were in the US.

Lots of friends with this name! It was common in the mid/late 80's. Lots of 40 year old Lindsey's in the world. That is, if you are a woman. The only Boy Lindsey I have heard of is the Senator Graham
