It doesn't sound tropical to me but that's probably because Linda sounds "white" to me and when I think tropical I think of indigenous people in the Carribean who generally don't look white. I used to see the name in the same way I saw Karen, Sharon or Helen. Very dated. But now I like it. I like Melinda more though because it starts off softer, then descends into velvet. :3 I like the NN Lindy for both genders very much. I've never heard a name that derives from another language that means "beautiful" that has not been beautiful. Ironically, Beauty, Beautiful and Pretty sound silly to me as names, if not very vain. Vanity actually makes a better name if going off sound alone.
