Just Askin': What's Your Linden Name?

I've met a few Lindens in my time, and more and more with each passing day. I've always been curious as to how a Linden name gets chosen. At the Virtual Worlds Conference on Wednesday, I met Red Linden, who was adorable. She's got a head of vibrant, fiery hair, hence the name (I presume; I didn't ask). But the derivation of other names are less obvious. Pathfinder? Zero? Iridium?

I'm not asking for a bunch of stories of how the various Lindens chose their names (though that'd be fun, if any of you have some good ones), but rather to ask: If you became a Linden, what would your Linden name be, and why?

4. I'd thought of "Magister Linden," a play on the title of Herman Hesse's novel, "Magister Ludi," also known as "The Glass Bead Game."

9. ya, TheDiva Linden doesn't do it for me - I much prefer being TheDiva Rockin...and a Sheep...then a Linden. :)

10. I hope there's not already a Peppermint Linden, because I'd hate to change my existing first name!

11. I think "Tree" would be rather amusing, and "Lupine Linden" alliterative, but I'd probably go with one of my current alt first names, since they feel like "me" now.

12. I too would keep my first name (which is actually my first and last name put together in camelcase since I couldn't have my last name be really my last name in SL)
