I love it! It has a nice ring to it. :)
It's just outside of my name-list criteria, but it is my second favorite nature name for girls. It's second to yet another L name, Lily.
Boring.
A lot of name nerds seem to love it, but it's just the Emily of another country. It seems a little pretentious to me, and not in a good way like an 'old money' pretentious name (Cornelia, Barnabas etc). I imagine it to be popular with middle-class arty girls in their early twenties who pass off the flower as a long time favourite of theirs (A Rose or Violet being just as darling, but who wants a - gasp - common name! You've gotta show you're cultured, even if you're really not).

I think it's lovely. I used to not like it, but it's been growing on me.
I like Linnea. It's not one of my favorites, but it's very pretty, and I like the nature connection.
I prefer spelled Linnaea but either way it's a lovely name :)
I like it.
One of my favorites. Though I always pronounce it as LIN-ee-ah, because that's how i first heard it.
I actually used this name for one of my characters.

I like it. It's a plant and it's very 'namey', so you kind of get the best of both worlds.
I like it.
Too bad it's so freakin' common here...

I like the look of it very much. I'm not a huge fan of the "Lin" part, but it is a neat name. And Nea (Nay-uh) would make a cute nickname. It reminds me of one of my newest favourites: Mattea, nn Tea (Tay-uh).
I love it. I think it's beautiful.
