HelpRe: Specific questions about Linnaea/Linnéa
in reply to a message by Jagoda
I think it's fine. Linnéa is just a flower name and most people won't even think of Linnaeus if you spell it that way.
As for Linnaeus, most people will just think "taxonomy person / that one guy who invented latin names" and not really think beyond that. He's way more famous for classification stuff than for being racist.
Honestly the worst association I have with Linnea is that it was the name of someone who was killed by an axe murderer in the early 2000's or something... idk why I remember this but I was in a hotel with my parents when a news story about an axe murderer came on the TV and for some reason I remembered the murder victim's name which was Linnea. I still like the name though.
