Linden

[merryberry]

DP says it's girlie...I say not. It's one of his family names, and uncle, and we haven't used his family yet. He has no other suggestions yet, which is the really frustrating bit.

My choice for DS2, brother for Vincent (known as Vin/Vinnie)

Probably to be known as Den or Denny in daily use. Full name Linden George [SturdyEnglishSurname]

Depending on what he looks like of course, if it fits him.

absolutely fab name esp as is name of tree and not meaning 'mighty in battle' or similar...boys called Linden love football, dinosaurs, computer games, mud, hamsters, .....well mine does anyway!- deffo not chavvy.

I like it a lot mb. I did know a Lyndon and always thought it was an unusual and nice name. Linden goes well with Vincent too.

i dont like it

it is girly

Just wanted to add i think linden is a strong and handsome name. My dp was friends with a linden who sadly met an untimely end to his life in a tragic accident...but everytime i hear the name makes me think of a great strong person who was a total rock star and very missed.

Also nothing chavvy about it whatsoever...i would say a strong boys name more than anything.

I know a very blokey Lyndon. Male version is spelt this way not Linden.

I’ve never met a female Linden and it doesn’t sound at all girlie. I prefer Linden to Lyndon because of the association with the tree. Very now to have nature associated names.

Love it! A strong, handsome name. Not at all girlie.

I know at least 5 blokes called Lyndon (South Wales- it’s pretty common here in people over about 40) but haven’t come across Linden. I don’t think the spelling is girlie but I would used Lyndon instead.

Call him Dennis. Much nicer.

This is a zombie thread from 2008. Baby Linden is now 12.

My first thought was Linden Homes!

I know a Lynden - she's 60-something.
