LEE - nuh is a wonderful name. However, it's just so hard to spell. I have a friend with this name, but it's spelled Leina. I love that spelling, but people call her Layna. Lena looks like len - nuh. I like Lina, but it could just as easily be pronounced Lynn - nuh, or Lyne - nuh. Leena just looks bad. Leana should be pronounced Lee - ann - nuh, or lee - auh - nuh, and while I like Liyna, no one else does. Lina and Leina are the best spellings. Please choose between them.

In Lithuania, the name Lina and its variant form Linė are also frequently encountered as feminine forms of the masculine name Linas, which can be the Lithuanian form of Linus as well as be an independent Lithuanian given name. In other words: in Lithuania, Lina (and Linė) is often more than just a short form of given names that end in -Lina.
