Linnea and Juniper are very pretty and work well together, I think. Rowan perhaps could work; while the names are very thematic, they are not overtly so.

I really like them together and as siblings. I wouldn't use Rowan as it's too close to Juniper, both being trees, and I prefer it on girls. I like Ransom on a boy, but most people don't because of the crime connection. I prefer the wild garlic meaning.

Linnéa- lovely
Juniper- don't care for it.
Aster- okay
Rowan- Nice
Basil- dislike, it is a plant name that seems dated and unpleasant like drinking barley water.
Briar- a guilty pleasure of mine. I wouldn't use it myself, but I would like seeing it used.

Linnéa is an obscure enough of a plant that it wouldn't seem as jarringly matchy if her sibling also had a plant inspired name. To me having daughters Rose, Daisy and Violet would seem ridiculously like a bouquet, but I don't mind Linnéa, Rowan and Aster.

I love Linnea! I really like the flower association as well as the scientist association. Juniper is a cool middle name (Linnea Juniper! LOVE it!) but I wouldn't want to be saddled with it as a first name. Not everyone could pull it off, I don't think.

I doubt very many people associate Linnea with flowers so I don't think they're too naturey as siblings.

I like both names and feel they work well together. The nature theme is subtle and no big deal, imo. I'd use them with Rowan, but not with Basil or Briar because that would be too obvious. I'd be more likely to use Linnéa because while I do like Juniper, I want to say Jupiter every time and I'd be afraid others would also. Still, if more people used Juniper, that potential issue shouldn't be as much of an issue.

I like them both. June or Junie can be used as a nickname for Juniper, and I think the accent grave (é) is a bit too much for Linnea.

I like both of them. Linnea is very popular here, while Juniper isn't. So they feel a bit mismatched to me popularity wise, but you're not in Sweden so I doubt it would be a problem where you live. :)

Personally I would stay away from naming themes though. They are cheesy, and not that fun to grow up with. At least not if you grow up to be a namenerd :p

I love them both a lot. Especially Linnéa you don't see a lot outside of Scandinavian countries. I don't think the nature theme is too much, it's subtle enough to be used. Even with Aster and Rowan. Maybe with Basil or Briar it would be a bit over the top but that's just my opinion.

Love it. Linnea, Juniper and Rowan would make a great sibset.

Most people would not realise the connection between the names. It's not overt like Lily, Daisy and Poppy, or something.
