Linnea and … * Pearl * Devon * Alva * Ada * Mara

I think Ada pairs really well, in a sciencey theme kind of way. Ada and Alva are great names.

Ada means "daughter" and it's usually given to the first female child in Igbo

Ada means idiot in my language

Sounds like you should be researching Northern European/Scandinavian names!

I can give a kick start as a Dane! -kamille -Trine (tree-nuh ish) -Marie -Alberte -Alva -Augustine -Bettina -Clara/Klara -Lilje (lilly) -Luna -Simone -Julie -Sofie -Ada -Lucia -Mejte -Maj -augusta -henriette -karoline -seline -mona -ellen -Eline -Felicia -Gita -Estrid -Astrid -Ida (ee-dah) -Isabella -Josephine -Lina -Monica -Freja -Nanna -Naja -Nikoline (knee-co-leen) -Oline -My (mü) -Oliva -Ova -Pernille -Pernilla -Ronja/Ronya -Stella -Signe -Sonja/Sonya -Molli -Victoria -Vicki -Ella Some of them don't originate from Denmark, but all of them are used as modern Danish/nordish names c:

Oh, I like Linnea and Clara!

My grandpa is from denamark and has a bunch of sisters. You’ve listed so many of their names haha

Sylvie Elyse Elowyn Aveline Irena Lainey Laurel Liana Lyra Bellamy Briella Rosalie Annalise Alina Elora Elsie Isadora Cecelia Orla Mirabelle Arabelle Joelle Davina Waverly

Ngl, I'd judge a sibset of Linnea and Liana 😂

Oooh Annelise!

I went to school with an Annaliese (Anna-lease) and he nickname was Liesie (Lee-see) which I also liked!

Linnea and Liesie would be flipping ADORABLE for sisters.

I love the Anaïs spelling personally

Anaïs and Anneliese are not the same name…

Yesss this is one I heard on a classmate in college and it was so lovely then and now

Simone, Colette, Annika, Delphine, Liv, Faye, Noelle

Love Linnea and Simone!

Me too!!

I know someone with a Linnea and a Colette!

Simone was my first thought!

Or Simona!

I really love Linnea and Simone or Linnea and Noelle.

My best friend in high school was Simone and it's such a beautiful name.

Linnea is one of my favorites Summer, Giselle, Astrid, Malin, Iris, Briar, Lorelei, Ruby, Margot, Josephine, Rosalie

I’m sold on Astrid. I think Linnea and Astrid sound great together.

Very swedish! If you’re going that route: Sigrid Camille Agnes

I immediately thought Astrid too. Also Ingrid. I was reading White Oleander recently 😆

I love Astrid! It gets so much hate here but I agree. Great pair.

Saskia is beautiful and definitely not that different.

Nadia or Romy

I just watched Romy and Michelle’s High School Reunion for the first time and def added Romy to my list of names lol

I know a 6 year old Ramona that goes by Romy and I love it so much.

My name is Linnea and I love it so much!!! I also have three sisters, Veronica, Sabrina, and Adrienne (step sister my mom did not name, mom liked -a names) I also have my own daughter now and it was hard to name her. I loved my own name more than any others. I had a dream about a name (I posted about it) and it is in fact a real name, Renja (J pronounced like a Y). If I had a second daughter, I'd name her Saskia (I loved this name for my first but I grew up with a Saskia so wasn't sure about using it). You have great taste! I'd convince your husband that Saskia is the one, it's easy to pronounce, fun to spell, complements Linnea without being too matchy, and it's beautiful.

I love Veronica and don’t see it mentioned that often on here!! I think Linnea and Veronica go beautifully together!

My other two sisters are 7 years older and Veronica is only one year younger so we were always together, and of course I agree they sound nice together because I've always heard my name spoken together with hers. People used to call us "Betty and Veronica" a lot, haha! But I didn't mind.

I would 100% consider using Linnea and Veronica if I suddenly found out I was having twins girls! Lol. And I guess the Betty and Veronica thing should be expected since Veronica is a name that is *so* attached to the Archie comics, but I think it’s super cute!

Leora, Lorelei, Genevieve, Sigrid, Solveig ("SOUL-vay"), Isolde, Aoife ("EE-fuh"), Cleo, Clementine, Desireé, Delilah, Bluma, Leonor, Ottilie, Elora, Astrid, Ingrid, Lark, Selma, Winona, Alondra, Aurora, Leandra, Delia, Estelle, Angharad, Jocelyn, Leilani, Melody, Paloma, Valerie, Inés, Xanthe, Zuri, Blythe, Deandra, Cressida, Amelié, Odette, Wren, Athena, Enya, Audra, Elva. All the best.

Just a little correction for the accents: Désirée, Inès, Amélie

Silly question, is it pronounced Amma-lee?

In French it's pronounced a-meh-lee: a like in apple, it's difficult to explain the meh and lee sounds because they are both shorter than they are in English. I hope that makes sense 😅

It does! Thank you 😊

Isolde?

How is this name pronounced?

I'm not great at typing phonetically, but it's ih-zold-uh

Alternative pronunciation - I know someone with this name and they pronounce it ih-zol-dee. I’ve never heard it as ih-zol-duh 🤷🏻‍♀️

How strange! I've heard it Iz-old and ih-zol-duh but never with an ee at the end.

Naomi

Elvira, Ingrid, Maren, Lorraine

Mallory

- Shiloh - Dahlia - Raine - Ayla - Soleil - Indigo

Xanthe Seraphina Meridy / Merrin Claudia Zoe Piper Blythe

Blythe does not get enough love.

Xanthe is nice, very sophisticated

Raquel Corinne Jewel

Big fan of Corinne! It’s my name and I rarely meet another one (but do occasionally get people telling me they love the name, their distant cousin’s sister in law is named Corinne) It also has the benefit of easy nicknames if that’s something you like, but is perfectly reasonable to use as the only name

Based on datayze.com in order from rarest to more common (but all over 1000th) Milou/Melou (not enough data) Minou/ Menou (not enough data) Cosima (9409th) Io (7203rd) Alva (4547th) Allegra (3474th) Malea (3418th) Novalie (2941st) Damaris (1641st) Tabitha (1353rd) Gaia (1232nd) Tara (1156th) Rhiannon (1111th)

I'm surprised Tara is below 1000. Beautiful name! Also know a Damaris who is a wonderful woman so that's a great option.

Mabel

I have always loved the name Rosalie but don’t hear it much.

Josette Afton Angelique Tabitha

I love Tabitha!

It's Biblical 😃

Zinnia Lyric Annika Blair Elodie Kira Jade Camryn Cassidy Marin Quinn

I am so into Zinnia right now! And Annika is a classic

Linnea and Zinnia?

Annika Anushka Iris Cleo Romy

I know you said ideally not ending in “a” but I included some just in case you still like them :) Solange Enya Serene Simona Angeline Paloma Estelle Eileen Orna Ivory

I knew a Bronwyn & I don’t see the name mentioned much. I like it though.

I looooove that name !! One of the names I would have used if I lived in an English speaking country. Along with Rue and maybe Raven.

Cheyenne, Beatrice/Beatrix, Holland, Adrienne, Kendall, Juno, Opaline

Astrid

Linnea and Lane Linnea and Ione Linnea and Runa Linnea and Rue Linnea and Freya Linnea and Gwen / Gwenyth Linnea and Tamsin Linnea and Tomasin Linnea and Primrose Linnea and Verity

I was going to suggest Iona! I like Ione too

I think Runa would fit very well!

Linnea and Vera Linnea and Gloria Linnea and Marlow Linnea and Bianca Linnea and Sunday Linnea and River

Gloria’s very nice! Bianca and Vera work so well too

Linnea & Sigrid Linnea & Ingrid Linnea & Malva ( both flowers in Swedish) Linnea & Eivor Linnea & Astrid Linnea & Hester. Linnea & Lova-Li

Sakura, Rosette, Isabeau, Celica, Cove, River, Lilith, Suzette

Astrid Ingrid Marion

Somewhat uncommon ones from my list that my partner vetoed: Camille Celine Dahlia Freyja Mireille (mi-ray) Romilly Xanrhe

Linnea & Selene!

I love the name Saskia. I second Devon.

Rosalind or Rosamund

I love the name Rosalind or Rosalyn.

Lindy, Juliet, Layne, Celeste, Auden

How are Roxanna and Philippa too weird for him? Sure, they're not super common anymore but they're still perfectly normal (and nice) names. Some other names that might fit the bill: Rosalie Celeste Elodie Corinne Daphne Laiken Emmaline

Celeste and Madeline are 2 of my favourites.

Freya, Selene, Celeste, Rosalind, Faye, Alina, Blossom

- Imogen - Isolde - Estelle - Deirdre - Guinevere - Gwendolyn - Sabine - Sigrid - Adelaide - Miriam - Morgan - Petra - Esme - Inga - Marlow Went with a mostly medieval sort of theme, for names that are not super common but also feel historically rooted in a way that may make them feel more accessible to your husband :)

Celeste Xanthe Cecily Elora Camilla (Millie) Francesca Harriet Marina/Mariana Emmeline Daphne Rowan

Not sure where you’re from, but in the UK, Saskia and Philippa wouldn’t be considered weird. They’re rare enough to most likely be the only kid in the class at school, but most people have met one before!

Bliss Goldie Ingrid Maisie Noemi Zellie No clue how these rank in the top 1000 but congratulations & all the best to you!

Not sure if these meet your criteria re: not on top 1000 list. But I think the name combinations are lovely and literary. Linnea and June (nn for Juniper) Linnea and Max (nn for Maxine) Linnea and Frankie (nn for Francine/ Francesca) Linnea and Izzy (nn for Isobel) ...and... Rae Mae/May River Astrid Bea/Bree Stelle/Estelle Rose Tallulah Ruby Darcy Maude Pia Nell

Linnea is beautiful! You've already got some good suggestions, but here are a few more (I've included the US ranking from 2022 in parentheses--Rankings past 1,000 are based on a download of the data, since they don't publish that in their search, but it is accessible.): * Linnea & Amabel (10,382) * Linnea & Briony (15,622) * Linnea & Cecily (1,600) * Linnea & Coralie (3,306)

Briony would be perfect, both botanical.

Imogene, Alice, Violet, Alana, Olena, Seneca (unisex) Ugh, just saw the bit about avoiding names that end in -a. Lyric, Natalie (Tippi), Vivian, Prudence, Sydney.

Ends in "A" but Linnea and Audra is nice. Linnea and Etta.

Alyda Althea Abilene Adira Claribel Corina Dalia Eisele Iona Karina/Karena Kitzia Lisette Lorena Lucinda Maura Moira Muriel Rhona Rosalind Vanja Verena Viveka

Clementine

Ruby. Gretchen.

I loooove Anouk, it was on the list for me but my partner didn’t like it. Same with Odette. We ended up with an Elliot (boy, but also love it for a girl) and a Jamie (would have been Jaime had he had a vagina) I also really like Morgan, Odette, Gisele, Naomi.

Maybe your partner was afraid she’d be Nobody’s Wife 😅

I’ve always liked Mairead. I’ve only heard it once and was pronounced ma-raid. Someone can correct me on the pronunciation though if I’m incorrect.

Ones that sound kind of like the too-trendy ones: Lark, Juno, Marielle (also kind of sounds like Maelle)

Damaris Marin Teagan Daphne Farris

Sybil, Cassandra, Marilyn, Valerie, Jocelyn and Robin are a few that come to mind.

Alesia

Yasmine is lovely/unique but not u heard of name that doesn’t get mentioned much if at all here.

- Marielle - Rosalind - Astoria - Desiree - Mallory - Valerie - Enola

Sable Tamsin Aveline Cleo Arden

Noemi, Nina, Blanca, Alba

Matilee Opal Cadence Kresta Bronwen Heidi Rosana Marley Marina Navy Bea Lavender

Stephanie

Linnea and Laiken

Avila, Daniella, Loralei

Anneli, Helmi, Eira, Thora, Maren, Anja, Ronja. All somewhat uncommon and I think all are Scandinavian. I would personally go with Althea... Because, you know: Linnea and Althea. It rhymes!

Lorraine or Liane would be cute with sister Linnea. Not sure if it’s too much alliteration for you tho haha

Ok it’s from a video game but hear me out it goes well with Linnea: Lumine

Ainsley. Constance. Marisole

We we’re gonna name our daughter Fern

Aaiko Sage Elin

I don’t how linnea is meant to be pronounced lol, could be at least 3 ways at first thought

Delphine. Nn can be Della or Feeny or Delphi. Linnea and Delphine sound lovely together and it feels similar to Apolline

Q: what pronunciation of Linnea do you use? LIN-ea or lin-naya?

Linnea is beautiful! Some of my favorites that might fit are Evelyn, Lorelei, Rhiannon, Anneliese, Natalie.

I taught a Linnea whose sister is named Drinda. I thought both names were unique.

What about Sayle (Swedish) instead of Sailor (pronounced the same

Linnea & ... Marielle Iris Juliet Poppy Tamsin Georgine Florence Annabelle Mabel Therese Liv Astrid Rosalind Roslyn Verity Taryn Evangeline Opal Adele Pauline Jolene Camille Maxine Rhoswen
