Linden, this spelling, i shte name of a tree. Since I'm used to botanical / nature names being feminine, I think of Linden as a girl's name.

I like it very much, especially with the nn Lindy.

I adore Lyndon on a boy but for a girl? I'm not so sure. It has a nice enough sound but the fact it's part of the trend of using boys names on girls kind of turns me off it. I think it could work though.

I like it on a boy

I actually love the combo Anna Linden. I don't hate Linden for a boy, but it makes me think of Linda - which I could never use for a boy. For a girl, I think Linden is lovely, it makes me think of Linnea - another favorite of mine.

I don't like it as a girls name at all but I /love/ it spelled either way for a boy.

The only person a know who is called Linden is a 50 year-old woman. So, for me is only a girls name

The only person a know who is called Lindxen is a 50 year-old woman. So, for me is only a girls name

I prefer Linda. Linden is worse name.

I've tried to picture Linden on a girl, and it just doesn't work for me. I prefer it on a boy--in my mind, it fits into the same soft but dignified category as Winslow. On someone else's child, though, it could probably work.

I like it, quite a bit.

It's one of those names I wouldn't use, but it's pretty. Linden is all girl to me, Lyndon boy.

I like Linden on a boy , I'd consider using it

I like it quite a bit, and I would also use it for a girl. Lyndon is masculine to me, but this is just another nature girl's name IMO.

I prefer Linden on a girl to Lyndon on a boy. I think it's a great name. It's been on my list for years, just not quite high enough that I'll likely use it.

100% boys name to me, Linden would be horrid on a girl.

I like the way it looks, but I agree with your sister--it sounds exactly the same as Lyndon. Linden is not my style anyway, but even if it were, I wouldn't use it for that reason.
