Thanks
Since it's pron. (lin ay uh). I'd spell it so it looked like that, possibly:
Linaya
...any other ways?

Linnaea's closer to its origin
Since the name comes from Carolus Linnaeus's surname. The pronunciation's a bit more obvious too, though personally I think Linnaea looks messier than Linnéa.
But Linnéa, with the accent, is pretty straightforward imo. After all, most people in English-speaking countries know that é equals the AY sound, due to common names like Désirée and Renée.
I really wouldn't spell the name in any way else other than Linnea or Linnaea, personally. Anything else just looks kre8iv and--truthfully--a bit ignorant to me.
