It can be a nickname for Caroline/Carolyn instead of the traditional, common Carrie.
My first name is Lynn but many people in my family have called me Lynnie for years. Lynnie seems to fit me better than Lynn and I love the sound of it. I'm pleased to be a Lynnie!
For some reason, I love the name Linnie. It seems delicate and beautiful to me, like snowflakes or fine lace. Yet it doesn't seem weak. I like it so much I would use it on its own, not as a nickname. (For balance, I would choose a more standard name for the middle name, such as Amanda or Catherine).
Cute! It's a good nickname for tons of names, like Evelyn, Roslyn, Eleanor, Lynette, and a much better, more unique nickname for Madelyn/Madeleine than "Maddie".

Has also been seen as Linnhe, as in the Loch Linnhe in Scotland, pronounced the same as Linnie.
