[name_f]Linnea[/name_f] for sure :slight_smile: I love the look and sound of it, it’s gorgeous. [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is beautiful.

My next favourite would be [name_f]Aveline[/name_f], but I fear it’ll often be met with 'oh like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] with a v?"

^ I second her statement. [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] is pretty, but maybe too trendy. if it’s rare in your area go for it. [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] is strong and smart. not sure how to say it though.

I like [name_f]Neve[/name_f] mainly because I know a few so I can imagine a little [name_f]Neve[/name_f]. Geneve seems made up I prefer [name_f]Geneva[/name_f] and [name_f]Neve[/name_f] could work as a nickname for that. [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] and [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] are lovely too.

[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]! What an underused gem.

I was going to choose [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] but then noticed your incorrect pronunciation of the name. The [name_m]French[/name_m] name [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] is pronounced “ahv-LEEN” not “ave-[name_f]LINE[/name_f]”. I voted for the rare and pretty [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] instead.

I like the traditional spelling [name_f]Niamh[/name_f] better than any of these names, I really dislike the phonetic [name_f]Neve[/name_f] spelling. I have Irish/Celtic heritage, and the traditional spelling of the name is important to me. However, out of the names you have provided, I’d go for [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]. It’s so beautiful, strong, and sophisticated, with a girlish touch. [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] is gorgeous. Geneve seems made up, though it has a nice sound. It would often be mistaken for [name_f]Geneva[/name_f].

Agree with a couple previous posters in that I would love [name_f]Aveline[/name_f] pronounced - leen, and prefer [name_f]Neve[/name_f] spelled the traditional Irish [name_f]Niamh[/name_f]. But I guess that might feel weird if you’re not Irish. Geneve reminds me of [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f], which I think is prettier. I suppose you could use [name_f]Neve[/name_f] as a nn for [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f] since the letters are all there…?

So anyway, as listed, [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] gets my vote!

I love [name_f]Linnea[/name_f]! [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] is so sweet but mature at the same time. I’m not really a fan of the other names.

[name_f]Aveline[/name_f] but only pronounced ave Leen.
