Lindsy is a first name typically given to girls, but in rare cases also used as a boys name.
There’s a good chance that a girl named Lindsy in a medium-sized town will be unique. That’s because only a few babies a year are named Lindsy in all of the US. Only about one in 100,000 girls is named Lindsy by her parents. In the ranking of most common girls names in recent years, Lindsy ranks at #9,079. That means there are 9,078 more common girls names, but there are also a few thousand that are even rarer. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Lindsy.
Do you know the feeling when you go to the zoo and the animal that is supposed to be in the enclosure is not there? You know it should be there, but you've never seen it? It's the same with Lindsy. Girls named Lindsy have made themselves scarce. But some parents got a taste for it a few years ago: At No. 1,025 Lindsy ranked higher than ever before in 1982. By comparison, there have been 95 years in which the first name Lindsy has not been given at all (or less than 5 times, which is the minimum number required for a name to be included in the statistics), most recently in 2022. In general, parents name their daughters Lindsy only once in a blue moon, so girls and women with this name can consider themselves exceptional!
In years where the graph has no value, the name Lindsy was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.
The odds of living in the same state as someone with the first name Lindsy are about the same as betting on heads or tails in a coin toss. This girl’s name is quite popular, but not equally so throughout the entire USA. You can meet girls and women with the name Lindsy in 21 states – that is about every second of all 50 states in the USA, for example in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois or Indiana. In relation to the number of residents, the most women and girls with the first name Lindsy live in Utah – here, one in 64,888 bears this beautiful name. In comparison, if we look at all living women and girls in the whole country, only one in 234,661 will turn around if you call her first name Lindsy.

In these situations, you can communicate your name in so many other ways: you call spell it, sign it, or even use a flag to wave it...
