Linnhe

The name of a sea loch in Scotland, Linnhe could make a fresh spin on the now slightly dated Lynn and Linda. Appearing in Karen McCombie's young adult book series, Ally's World, it derives from the Gaelic linne meaning "pool, lake".

In Scottish folklore, Loch Linnhe is said to be home to a mystical water horse who would lure children onto its back, ride into the water, then drown and eat the children.

Pronounced LINN-ee.
