Lindsey / Lindsay is one of those Leslie / Lesley or Francis / Frances names. The male / female split used to be well understood but the division has blurred over the decades. I knew a male Lindsey who was Scottish and apparently it was quite a popular boys name there but the female form has become more usual.
'My' Lindsey had bright ginger hair and I think that had more impact on him than an ambiguous name ever could.

With our email confirming price and availability, we also ask for the full names (as they appear on the passport) of each member of the party, plus gender if not obvious. So anybody with a Francis/Frances, Tracey/Tracie, Jean/Jean (French man or English girl!) type name should already be aware of possible confusion and should advise us accordingly.
