Linden?

[tinyshinyanddon]

For a boy? Is it too soft sounding? Dh says he will be teased (but offers no suggestions).

I know a Linden, Lyndon and Linton

Very individual names but can't be shortened so if they don't suit or dcs don't like them they are stuck

Can't say I'm a fan seem a bit pretentious and or wussy

Can't be shortened? Lyndon is usually shortened to Lyn in my experience

Well yes it can be shortened to Lyn but depending on where you live, Lyn for a man would get some very odd looks

Not in my experience, but when I was young there was a famous athlete called Lynn Davies so the name was familiar for men as well as women.

I really like it!

And I don't normally like "surname" names because I think they're chavy but this one isn't.

I would spell it Lyndon though, otherwise the spelling of it is a bit on the made up side - and that is chavy.

Of course he would be called Lyn by his friends after the age of about 7-8.

Too bad I have a dislike for the letter y. Ah well, 10 days to go I am sure we will figure something out.

it's nice. not keen in your spelling though. it's a mans name not sure why your dh sees it at soft? what does he want, T- bone, Stab? Spike? YouTube the song 'a boy called sue' for your dh

my DD is a dinosaur train fan too

Linden Hall popped into my mind although I'm not sure why. Could be a place, could be a person. Must google.

Probably Lynden David Hall

I knew a Linden, he was fairly effeminate so I always think of the name as such. Don't know why as its quite nice.
Definitely not. Strong name though. A lover, not a fighter!

I know a Lynden, he's Welsh. It's a great name.

It's okay, have heard plenty worse!
