Linden is slowly becoming more common where I live, I've met 2 recently, but thats mostly in tribute to a hockey player named
Trevor Linden (its hockeycountry :D). Since he's such a well respected person, who works tirelessly for many local charities I only have good associations with the name and could easily see it working with names like
Tobias. Yet, thats the image I have conjured up and I'm not sure how others would perceive it.
