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.

Courtney has been around as a girl's name for a while (as it's my name and I'm getting quite old!) but there has been a rather large crop of young girls with that name recently...I worked as a pharmacy technician for five years and saw lots of females with the name Lindsey (spelled with an "e" and "a"), but hardly any Courtneys (male or female) other than myself.

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

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

I knew a guy named Kim.....we all thot it was weird but he was a nice guy and a great football player....maybe its like that song "a boy named sue" where the kid grows up to be tough from all the fights he gets in about his name...

Stevie
Kim
Kerry
Mackenzie
Hunter
Jamie
Shannon
Leslie
Pat
Courtney
Jordan
Kelly
Addison
Adrian
Aidan
Corey
Michael (and no, I'm not kidding. I have heard of a woman named Michael)
Ashley
Aubrey
Bailey
Beverly
Blair
Brook
Cassidy
Chris
Jerry
Clair

Dana
Darcy
Devon
Page
Eden
Elisha
Evelyn
Taylor
Tracy
Sam
Val

Yep, the actress, Michael Learned.

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