I have a friend who named her babe Vincent Daniel and I think it flows really well.

How is Linnea supposed to be pronounced? I've found a couple different pronunciations online, some that I love and some that I am less fond of.

[smallandneedy.livejournal.com]

It's like 'Linn-AY-uh'. I'm horrible at explaining how to pronounce things haha. The ay sound is a bit like the french È I think although I'm a bit unsure if that symbol gives the sound I'm thinking of since I did German in school instead of French haha. Hope this wasn't too confusing! :)

A lot of names here that I have never considered before but I quite like!

I love Noah and Leon. One of my best friends is called Maja, she is changing the spelling of her name to Maya now though because it annoys her that people can't pronounce it correctly. People call her Ma-ha by mistake a lot, which is a shame.
