Linden for a girl?

Girl Names

I was wondering, do you think Linden sounds more like a girl’s name or a boy’s name?

Because I was once walking with my boyfriend and we smelt some flowers and they were so fragrant! One of the sweetest smells! And we found out that they were linden flowers and I immediately thought that it would make a nice name for a girl. I looked it up and it said that Linden was more commonly used for boys though.

It means Tillia tree/lime tree or lime flower and is related to the Goddess Freya (sounds quite feminine to me).

It also reminds me of Lindel, Elwood, Faithlyn and an obvious one, Linda, though I find Linden more interesting. I love the nickname Lindy too.

I guess it could work for a boy, but I’m just surprised because it sounded like a girl name to me.

A famous footballer and his wife named there daughter Linden and a girl who recently won an award in the Olympics is named Linden Hall.

I think it sounds like a girl name, due to the [name_f]Lin[/name_f] beginning. I have it on my list for a girl. It’s also listed in a baby name book I own as a girl name. Here’s the page about it with some combo ideas:

I know one person named [name_u]Linden[/name_u] and she’s a girl, I definitely think based on meaning it seems more feminine!

I definitely can see [name_u]Linden[/name_u] working for a girl. It matches the trend of using masculine/surname-y names for girls, and the meaning is super sweet as well!

[name_u]Linden[/name_u] for a girl is super cute! Would be a great way to freshen up an honor name for an ancestral [name_f]Linda[/name_f].

It definitely sounds like a boy name to my ear, but it is unisex and has been used for girls before, so there’s no reason you couldn’t use it.

Yeah, I think it could easily work for a girl especially since boy names/last names are now popular for girls. :slight_smile:

I’d never heard it as a name before but I love it!

To me, [name_u]Linden[/name_u] is a unisex name, leaning slightly more towards feminine so I’d say go for it!

It’s unique yet it seems familiar, & it’s super cute but feels like it would age well too :grin:

I have a coworker with a daughter named [name_u]Linden[/name_u]. I see the name as totally gender neutral; my first thought is of [name_m]President[/name_m] [name_m]Lyndon[/name_m] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m]. :woman_shrugging:t2:

I actually know a [name_u]Linden[/name_u] that’s a girl! I’ve heard of it being used for boys as well and see it was truly unisex, but it is a nice option for a girl!
