Add that to the long list of things that you are legally barred from doing in Saudi Arabia.

I guess no one there will be hearing, 'linda, honey listen to me.'

I wonder what they have against popular names for children from 1945-65.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

Only filthy, vicious, bigoted Moose-lums would do something this filthy, vicious, and bigoted.

Well, only filthy, vicious, bigoted Moose-lums and Germany, Sweden, Norway, New Zealand, Japan, Denmark, and California.

I remember the hook. What's title and artist?

 

[petros]

It must be because of the Spanish meaning of Linda.

Nothing uncomplimentary or anti-Allah

Someone just had to say something

Linda is a female given name.
The name might be derived from the same root as the linden tree, from Germanic lind meaning "soft, tender" ultimately from a Celtic root. The image of the tree is used to indicate a gentle personality.
It may also come from the neo Latin language (Italian, Spanish or Portuguese) word linda, which is the feminine form of lindo, meaning "beautiful, pretty, cute" (Spanish) and "clean" (Italian).
Alternatively it may be derived from the mythical creature/concept known as ouroboros, in the variations "Celt Lindworm" (a wingless bipedal dragon) and "Scandinavian Lindworm" (a seaserpent).
Muchalinda, Mucalinda or Mucilinda is also the name of the naga (snake-like being), who protected the Buddha from the elements after his enlightenment.

In some languages, such as German, the name is frequently used in combination with another name, using the suffix "-linde", for example in Sieglinde or Heidelinde.

Lynda is a common variant spelling of the name in English. Among other names in use in English speaking countries that include the -linda suffix are Melinda, Belinda, Carlinda, Celinda, Rosalinda and Mirlinda.

It can also be a related name for Lindsay.

The name days for Linda are on September 1 (Czech Rep.), June 20 (Sweden), April 15 (Finland/Germany), February 13 (Hungary, Poland), September 2 (Slovakia), September 4 (Poland) and August 21 (Latvia). Linda's name day in Switzerland is on the 19th of June.

Yep, lots there for the Ayrabs to get upset about.
