No, but I've never heard it on a girl, either. Honestly, I sincerely doubt a boy named Linnet would get treated that badly because of it; I've known (male) Leslies and Storms and Atlantas and god knows what else throughout my childhood and into secondary school, and no one ever saw them as weird, they were just people's names. Names don't "provoke" kids.
