ashley and lindsey are old school boys names, they actually originated as male names.

[babyalligator.livejournal.com]

oh, but they just seem so girly nowadays.

[arbus.livejournal.com]

yes i agree they definitely do, which i think is a shame, personally. i had a male friend named lindsay when i was in college, and i loved it though.

Though, I am a girl.. My name is Ashley and am named after my uncle who was Allen Ashley.
