[Opinions] Annika & Linnéa
What do you think of the names Annika and Linnéa?

I like both and they'd work well as names for sisters.
They're both names I'd be willing to use if I had an SO who didn't like any of my favorite names, although where I live I'd rather use Linnaea than Linnéa.

They are popular where I’m from, a Scandinavian-heavy part of the US. I’ve known too many to be unbiased about them, but they are both quite alright. Annika I particularly like the sound and spelling of - the -nika ending is beautiful to me - but the Annikas I’ve known make me a bit less keen on the name. Associations aside, it’s lovely.
All the Linneas I’ve known have been blonde and spunky.

They would make a great sibset. They are nice solid Scandinavian classics.
They make me fall asleep, but that's coming from a Swede. Annika is a common name for women aged somewhere between 40-55 here, while Linnea started to get popular in my generation (early 90's). They're not names I'd consider.
