HelpRe: Vera, Linnea - pronunciation and opinions?
in reply to a message by zebra_cakes
I pronounce Vera as VEER-ah, and I think it's the more common pronunciation, at least here in England.
I don't like either Vera or Viola.
Whenever I saw Linnea I would always pronounce it LINN-ee-ah, which I found really ugly and therefore it put me off the name. It's taken a long time to train myself to say linn-AY-ah, even in my head. I find it the more attractive pronunciation. I don't know which is more common or if one is right and the other wrong.
I prefer Linnea out of the three you've mentioned. Linnea Sophia is nice. I like May (and Mae, but May more) but it doesn't go well with Linnea.
My constantly changing PNL:

Bottom rated = Brianna and Kacey (g) :(
