Help[Opinions] Re: Linnea?
in reply to a message by zebra_cakes
I like Linnea well enough, and I think it has an interesting origin, tied as it is to botony and taxonomy.
I pronounce it li-NAY-ə, which according to the entry here on BtN is wrong, wrong, wrong. Where I am, in Texas, I think li-NAY-ə and li-NAY would be the two most intuitive pronunciations. Like Helena, Linnea's pronunciation ambiguity keeps me from really liking the name.
Zoe, Stephen, and Linnea are great for siblings.
