Echoing similar sentiments, another user pleaded, "I don't know who you are, but please don't name your kid Linen.😂" The unconventional nature of the name did not sit well with everyone, as another user humorously remarked, "Those baby names tho..🫠" Meanwhile, one comment summed up the sentiment succinctly, stating, "I would rather die than name my child Linen."
