Lyndall
I encountered this name as the main character in Olive Schreiner's African Farm, published in 1883. It apparently became very popular for South African girls in the years following, but it's not in the database here and I have yet to google it; it was the author's mother's maiden name.Thoughts? Combos? Anything at all? I just like sharing new names I find. :)

It's rather pretty, but I think it would work for either gender. And Lyndie would be an adorable nn for a girl.

Isn't there a female newscaster named Lindal/Lyndel/you get the idea on one of the local newstations from my neck of the woods? It's nice enough, but I could see it getting lost in the see of -lyn and -el sounding names. It's like all the elements rolled into one.Stick with Linden. :)

Thanks, and...How would I know who your newscasters are? You say that like I still live there. :-P

Well, the (male) caseworker who placed me with my adoptive family was named Lindall (prn LYN-duhl). I'd love to use it (as a mn) on a future DS. My DH works with a woman named Lindell, prn lyn-DELL. I think it is a great unisex name!One (male) combo I was considering was Elijah Lindall.Hadn't really thought of using on a girl, but Lyndall Maris or Lyndall Amaryllis sound nice to my ears. There may too much L in the latter for your taste, though. :o)
