[QUOTE] "Linnea Helene lastname (many of you know it...even though it's uber generic) (lyn-NAY-uh hell-EENE) My grandmother's name was Helen and I didn't realize how strongly I wanted to use it in some way until we found out we're having a girl.  But I like Helene better, lol. Posting and running, but I'll be back to check ideas later.

<p>I have never in my life heard of the name Linnea before. Personally, I would pronounce like 'tinea', and given tinea is athlete's foot, that would be a little odd for a name! </p><p> </p><p>But, if you're using it in a place where other people have that name and they know how to pronounce it, I'm sure it would be lovely.</p>
