[Linzy](http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/C/ColeLi01.htm) As a follower of women’s basketball, the plethora of variants of this name bothers me – consider [Lindsay](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsay_Whalen) Whalen, [Lindsey](http://www.cyclones.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=10700&ATCLID=1556352) Wilson, and [Lynsey](http://ncaabasketball.fanhouse.com/womens/players/lynsey-paschal/22713) Paschal. I always have to double-check the spelling of “Lindzi” when I’m editing or posting. ---
