The story of Lynzi
Lindsay became one of the most familiar American girls' names, and it was also, for a time, a man's name: Lindsey Buckingham was the guitarist of Fleetwood Mac, and on the album Rumors he and Stevie Nicks, who had just broken up, sang songs about each other, his Go Your Own Way answered by her Dreams. Families spelled the name in many ways, and Lynzi takes the y of Lynn for its first syllable, with no record of who first did.
