Linnea is my favourite girl name, period. If I'll ever get a daughter, her name will definitely be Linnea.I'm Finnish, so Linna is a bit too much of a word and a surname to me. Lina is OK, but I find it a little too plain.

But what about Vanamo?I read that Vanamo is Finnish for linnéa, the twinflower."But it’s all right now.

Yes, it is. Vanamo is a nice name, too, but I don't like it even nearly as much as I like Linnea. The main reason I love the name Linnea is because I love the way it sounds and looks, so it's not just the association to the flower that I find appealing.
