Re: Vera, Linnea - pronunciation and opinions?
in reply to a message by zebra_cakes
Linnea: I say lin-AY-ah and love it. I visited Finland several years ago and met a Finnish Linnea who said LEEN-neh-ah with a long N. It was lovely when she said it, but not so much when I did.
Vera: VAIR-ah. Fusty, dowdy, and not ready for a comeback. I prefer Viola, which is saying something as I hate Viola.
Linnea Jeanne or Linnea Sophie would be lovely.
