HelpRe: Vera, Linnea - pronunciation and opinions?
in reply to a message by zebra_cakes
Vera, Viola and Linnea are all names that I love.
I say VEER-ra, veer rhyming with deer. I'd say this is more common for native English speakers, but it might be different in Europe, say. I know the French pronunciation of Vera is like VEH-ra or VAIR-ra.
Vera and Viola are both so nice! They're very different, but I like them both. They'd make sweet names for sisters.
I say linn-AY-a, but I once met someone called Linnea who was actually Scandinavian (Swedish, I think - I can't remember) and she said LINN-ee-a. At first I thought she said Lydia or Lidia.
I love Viola with the nickname Lola, but I don't know which of the three names is my favourite. Vera or Viola. Very close.
With the middle names, I think Petra and Sophie are nice middle names for all of them.
