As a Lindsey, all I can say is NOOOO!!
I've never not gone by my first name, last initial. I know the name was more popular in the 80s when I was born, but using it now would be like using it after it went out of style and before it came back into style enough to be hip.
It would be like when I went to school with Brittanys, Ashleys, Nicoles, and Danielles. We had one girl named Peggy and it was so very sad. Because it wasn't a classic and it wasn't in style. It was just very lost and dated.
I don't hate my name, but I wouldn't wish it on others either.
It's nothing special at all. Any name that has been in the Top 20 or so for a decade or more and isn't a classic, should probably be avoided.
Just sayin'.
-Lindsey
PS: Should add that Lindsey on a boy would be very hot. It's classy, clarming, and still fun on a boy.
More modern alternatives?
Linley (And surnames are becoming more popular anyway, but usually still somewhat classier.)
Linnet
