in reply to a message by Theo
Your assumption seems logical since lime trees are also know as lindens, hence linden dale > lyndall.

Yes, why are lindens called lime trees? In my mind a lime tree grows a green citrus fruit called a lime. Y :)

Beats me. I didn't know they were until I checked out "lime" in my dictionary to find out if the trees were native to England. (I knew lindens were) I assume the tropical citrus trees bearing the fruit necessary for a good margarita are not!

Well, England is certainly not tropical! :D BTW, I'm USA. And don't gunk up good lime juice with alcohol, try limeade! Merry Christmas, Y :)
