How do you pronounce it?

Lean-us or Line-us?

Did you never watch Peanuts, ellingwoman?

I think Linus is lovely.

Yes - I loved Peanuts but as a comic strip! So I've never heard how it's pronounced
Quite like it but I would always associate it with a security blanket

My son is called Linus. Always loved Peanuts but thought Snoopy was a bit much and Charlie too widespread. He is 3 on Thursday and it really suits him. Plus he has tons of curly blonde hair and apparently in Greek it mneans 'boy with the flaxen hair'. Whenever anyone asks I say with a wink, 'oh yes the nobel peace prize winner 'Linus Pauling'

PS everyone says it as Line us, except my Swedish relatives who say it the other way
