Re: Specific questions about Linnaea/Linnéa
in reply to a message by Jagoda
I had never heard of Carl Linnaeus or his Systema Naturae, though I don't exactly follow botany that closely.
I think if his beliefs bother you and are closely associated in your mind with the name, then yes that would be reason enough not to use the name.
I think the name Linnaea sounds lovely, but I'll admit learning about its origin does taint the impression of it somewhat.
