I was reading the attendance list at my school today, and noticed there was a girl named Lynea. I've never seen that name before (I assumed it was made up) and it makes me think of "linea" which means line in Spanish. I can't say I'm a fan.

Any thoughts?

Linnea is actually a Scandinavian (I think?) name. I think it's rather pretty, but I'm not fond of the misspelling! XD.

Looks like a bad spelling of Linnea.

I think it's a pretty name, and I like the spelling of it. Though, I'd probably use two "n"s if I were going to use it. Lynnea.

i grew up down the road from a Lynnea. i'm not a big fan of it, but it's not completely atrocious.

I'm not fond of it (or Linnea).

I went to school with a Linnea. I don't care for it myself.

Ugh, I think Linnea is probably my least favorite name. Apparently it's a real name, but it sounds SO made-up and SO vowel-heavy. There are no hard sounds in the name at all. Drives me nuts.

My elementary school best friend (who later betrayed me BADLY, when she got popular and I stayed awkward) was named Anna-Linnea. She's Swedish.

I have horribly mixed feelings about Linnea and any variant.

I don't like it...I prefer Lynnea or Linnea.
