I like it, I know only one and she's 12yo.

To a point it has to hang right with your surname but if you're in the 2-syllable surname clan then great

Ummmmm it shouldn't have any bearing on your choice but a woman called Savannah is one of the USA's top porn actresses.

I only know this cos there was a series on Living TV about the company last year so quite a few people in the UK might associate the name with that. Sorry.

I do like the name though.

I am surprising myself here...I quite like it!
I do think it is a teeny bit bling, but still nice

s'very 90s Chelsea and posh London, imo but if you like it, do it!

thumbwitch that is very interesting, I was thinking exactly the opposite. I really wanted to say chavvy but did not want to incite hatred

I think it's pretty

It doesn't fall into any social camp IMO, it's just a very lovely and natural name.

90s posh = 00s chav in some cases though - don't think Savannah fits into that category?

thumbwitch, actually I do think Savannah is a formerly posh, now chav name..

I remember a man I knew in about 1989 wanting to call his daughter Natasha but her feared it was about to be "claimed by the commoners" (his words)

he called her Rebecca instead

He was indeed a complete snob, but not a tosser.

That was just the half of it.
He also said he would never marry anyone "less than a doctor"

bizarrely, otherwise a lovely bloke and really good fun
