I can't say I'm fond of Linda, but it's a perfectly decent name. Sound-wise, it did bring Dorinda to mind which I love.

I went to school with a Dorinda. I always thought her name was lovely, but I wasn't sure if her parents thought it up or not (until I saw the entry here).

I pronounce the long "o" sound, as in Dora, rather than the "ə" sound this site gives for the "o". I first heard the name in the movie "Always" with Holly Hunter and Richard Dreyfus and, in that film, Dreyfus says the name like "drinda". I've got to have that long "o", though. :)
