[joyhart02]

So a friend on Facebook just had a baby, name is Lin.ne.a S.halo.m. 

So, what do you all think?

Doesn't shalom me hi or something in Hebrew?

[Regina Philange]

How is it pronounced? Lina?

It actually is like aloha, it means hello, goodbye, and peace.
I know people named Shalom.

Linnea is one letter away from being a pregnancy line.

This is exactly what I thought of reading the title.  The line down my belly...

According to babynames.com, it's of Scandinavian origin and means "lime tree."

Linnea is up and coming according to nameberry but I can't get past linea nigra.

[laurack]

I also thought linea nigra

[Faevantastic]

Are they Jewish?

[joyhart02]

He was not Jewish when we were in college, but maybe his wife is and he converted?

I am glad I am not the only one that thought of the line down my belly.

[TrudyCampbell]

I'd pronounce it lin-nee-ah or Lin-nay-ah

I don't think it's bad but I would not use it for myself. And I would pronounce is Linn-nee-ah haha

:Y:  This.  And there is a guy at work that I just found out has the middle name Shalom.  So, maybe not that uncommon?

. If you take the original post and put some periods in it it could not show up. Deleting the post will still allow it to show up in searches.

Exactly what I was going to say. And for that reason, I don't like it at all.
