Help[Opinions] WDYT Twin names
I had this flash yesterday and can't stop thinking about it now.
Wdyt to Linnéa and Linus as twins? Are they to similar? I pronounce them lee-NE-a and LEE-nus (I'm from germany, I assume swedish sounds more similar to german than to english).
First I thought they were to similar, but as I pronounce them with the stress on different syllables I don't think it's to bad.
And I came up with these combos:
Linnéa Morgaine & Linus Gideon
WDYT??
Edited for clarity

Linnea is my favourite girl name ever (if I'll ever get a daughter, I will most definitely call her Linnea), and I love the name Linus. The combos sound very nice, too - especially Linus Gideon.
I'm not sure about wheter they sound too similar for a twin set. I'm personally not so keen on sib set starting with the same letter, but Linnea and Linus aren't that close because the names are not related (they're not exactly Alexander and Alexandra, Simon and Simone, or Victor and Victoria). Yeah, I guess it could work.

They sound too similar to me as you pronounce them. I pronounce Linus LIE-nus. They also look too similar.

They feel way too similar for my tastes--I'd get them confused. It's not as bad as Jeff and Josh (a pair of identical twins I knew), but they're pretty close. Both are nice names, though, and both combos are pretty.
In the USA, they're generally pronunced lih-NAY-ya and LYE-nus.

The dogs on main street howl
`Cause they understand
If I could take one moment into my hands
Mister, I ain't a boy--no I'm a man,
And I believe in a promised land.
