Vera- Do you pronounce it as
Veera or Veh-ra? (Which do you think is more common?)
What do you think about
Vera in comparison to
Viola?
Linnea- Is it more commonly pronounced as
Linn -ay'-ah or Linn-ee'-ah? (Is the emphasis always on the second syllable?)
I have never met anyone with this name but I am not sure if I heard of an NPR reporter with the name.
Which do you prefer of
Vera,
Viola (I was thinking with the nickname
Lola) or
Linnea?
MN options I am considering include
Mae,
Sophie,
Petra, and
Jeanne (family name but not sure if I want to use it).
