Origin of the name

[edit]

The current version of the etymology of Lindalino at the top of the article is just as much rubbish as the previous version - "dubh linn" is not a Viking name, but Celtic for "black pool" (see Dublin#History), and Lindalino is not an anagram of either "dubh linn" or "black pool". It is in fact a pun on Dublin: "double lin" with extra letters thrown in for euphony's sake (see Gulliver's Travels#"Lindalino") DES 08:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
