I live near a retirement home called this so I associate it with old people. I could never use it.

In general though? I think it’s unisex. Lyndon certainly isn’t though, as it’s associated too much with Lyndon B Johnson.
Its vibes sort of remind me of Aspen. Cool, but not my style.

I've always had such a huge soft spot for Linden on a boy. I love the Lyndon spelling, too, but there's just something about the tree spelling that edges it out a tiny bit. This is a name I really wouldn't mind seeing more often, but it probably will never be super common for boys, and that makes it even better.

I think I like it best out of the Linden, Lyndon (probably my 2nd favorite, I know one in real life), Lynton, Linton spellings. The character Linton in Wuthering Heights was a sickly, weak, and not very nice character so that's what I usually think of when these names come up, unfortunately. Otherwise, I like that it's a nature/tree name, which is why I prefer the Linden spelling. It is a very "soft" sounding name, which some might like and might turn others off for a boy's name.

I'm actually surprised that it isn't more popular as a feminine name. People who like Laurel, want to honor a Linda, or like other -den boys' names for girls (like Hayden) would probably go for this one.

Meh, It's fine on a boy. I really don't get how it is considered "unisex" though.

I think it's beautiful. It's not my taste, but it's beautiful.

Meh. Prefer Lincoln.
