HelpRe: Specific questions about Linnaea/Linnéa
in reply to a message by Jagoda
1) Had you heard of Carl Linnaeus and/or Systema Naturae before reading this post? If yes to either, were you aware of the ideas on race that were presented by Linnaeus/his work?
Yes I've heard of Carl Linnaeus, as a Swede it's impossible not to. I wasn't aware of the race thing though.
2) Are Linnaeus' beliefs reason enough to not use Linnaea/Linnéa?
No, it's not. Check the Swedish popularity charts. It's a common name, and one persons believes shouldn't put you off from using the name you love.
3) What do you think of Linnaea/Linnéa? Do Linnaeus' views affect your thoughts on the name?
I'm not really a fan, I think it's way too common. It's used as a family/honoring name in one branch of my family though.
We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.
