How do you pronounce Linnea?

[Peachbaby4008]

I have heard it pronounced Lyn-ay-uh and Lyn-ee-uh

DH and I prefer it pronounced Lyn-ee-uh. To prevent cofusion should we spell it Lynia?

 

[jenmcn1]

When I look to the name I would pronounce it Lyn-ay-uh

 

[Maybe1daysoon]

I would pronounce linnea Lyn-aa-ah
And Lynia.... lyn-ni-ya
The maybe lyneeah for the way you'd like it pronounce.

 

[cooch]

I'd pronounce it (from the Uk) Lyn ee ah.

 

[JumpingIn]

Exactly like "linear"!

 

[Kitters]

Yep, LYN-ee-ah

Reminds me of linea nigra

I had a great aunt named Linnea and everyone called her Lindy. No one really settled on a pronunciation of Linnea.

 

[cooch]

I'd pronounce it (from the Uk) Lyn ee ah.

Yeah and I think we also have a clothes brand linea. I've definitely heard it some where before.

 

[RinnaRoo]

My thought is LYN-A ....

 

[navywag]

Like lyn-ee-ah , like linea nigra???? The line you get down your stomach in pregnancy!?

 

[RubyRainbows]

I would say spell it Lynia - that way it's more likely to be pronounced the way you like.

Me too!!

 

[vickyandchick]

I initially would have said lyn-ay-ah x

 

[Tigerlily01]

I know someone named this (in the US) and she says it Lin-EE-uh.

 

[babylove x]

I would go with the Lynia version, simply because my first thought was linn-ay-uh like like the linea nigra (dark line down pregnant belly)..

I actually really like Lynia though.

 

[Tealgiraffe]

I would personally say the name Lyn-ee-uh with either spelling.
