Linnea (lin-AY-ah) is really gorgeous. Ellie is cutesy and fluffy and really ruins the dignified beauty of Linnea.

Linnea is one of my absolute favourites, but I agree with Aileen that the sound doesn't blend well with Ellie as a mn. I like Ellie alright, but wouldn't sacrifice Linnea as a first name.

I love Linnea and I love Ellie, but I don't think that Linnea Ellie sounds very good as a combo. The sounds seems squished together and because of the "li" and "el" beginnings, it seems like some weird funky rhyme thing is being attemptted, but is failing magnificently. However, Ellie Linnea is positively gorgeous! It's amazing what a simple switch-up can do!

As long as it's pronounced lin-NAY-a

I like it. I'm not sure I like it with Ellie, though - it's too cutesy. Linnea Elinor or Linnea Elle would be prettier to my ears.
