I’m pregnant with a little boy, and one of our top names for him is [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_u]Kerr[/name_u]/[name_m]Keir[/name_m]. I’ve noticed though that both [name_u]Linden[/name_u] and [name_u]Kerr[/name_u] are listed as unisex here, and with our girls having very obviously girl names, Im worried people will look at the name and assume he’s a girl.
So, what gender would you assume [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_u]Kerr[/name_u] would be? Is [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_m]Keir[/name_m] more masculine?
I would assume [name_u]Linden[/name_u] was a boy unless otherwise informed. I think [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and [name_u]Linden[/name_u] are a marvelous sibset! [name_u]Linden[/name_u] is a very sweet name for a boy.
I have no real opinion on [name_u]Kerr[/name_u]/[name_m]Keir[/name_m] but they seem masculine enough to me. I prefer [name_m]Keir[/name_m].
I would think of [name_u]Linden[/name_u] as a masculinized version of [name_f]Linda[/name_f]. (Which is likely wrong, but it’s really my first thought.)
The only [name_u]Linden[/name_u] I’ve ever met is female, so that’s where my mind goes. I also have a unisex name though, so maybe I’m not the best judge.
You have a nature theme, so I would assume [name_u]Linden[/name_u] is male as long as his sisters have flower names. But if you were to have a girl with a tree name or other nature, it would become less clear, ie [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_u]River[/name_u], or [name_u]Skye[/name_u]. If you stick with tree names for boys and flowers for girls, the genders are pretty easy. In your sibset, I assume [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] would be your feminine choice over [name_u]Linden[/name_u].
Definitely boy. My only point of reference for [name_u]Linden[/name_u] would be the similar [name_m]Lyndon[/name_m] [B. [name_m]Johnson[/name_m]], so that could be why. I like it, though!
I would assume [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_u]Kerr[/name_u] was a boy, but I would assume [name_u]Linden[/name_u] by itself was a girl (only because my only reference with it was as a female character).
I thought girl when I read the title, I know that’s not what you want to hear, sorry.
[name_m]Lyndon[/name_m] would make me steer more boy but I can understand why that spelling isn’t for everybody. I also think if his middle name was more obviously masculine I may have said it was a boys name.
I still think you should use it if its what you like. As someone mentioned above I think [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_m]Keir[/name_m] would be very handsome and 100% a boys name.
I would assume [name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_u]Kerr[/name_u] was a girl but [name_m]Keir[/name_m] seems more masculine. I don’t know if that’s just because I’m from the UK though.
