Just watching a film and Savannah popped up. Something about it I really like.

Thoughts?

Sure why not.

Nice name. I think one of Peter Phillips' daughters is named Savannah.

I have a 14 year old Savannah.

Quite often gets a slating on here. Nice to see positive replies.

Go for it! I don't know any others personally.

Not bad, but I also prefer Susannah, which is gorgeous.

tellmyfriendsiminlove,

"Lots of porn stars called savannah"

Well Amber is the 3rd most commonly chosen porn name
[source: my (mortified-to-find-that-out) non-porn star friend called Amber], but that doesn't prevent it from still being regarded as a beautiful name too!

OP,
I like it. Though prefer Siena/Sienna.

Really like it, it reminds me of the miller sisters. Only thing about it that puts me off a touch is I know one and people abbreviate it to 'Sav' which isn't nearly as nice.

I really liked it after watching a film called letters to Juliett set in Italy. Thought it was a beautiful name it does get bad press on here thou so agree nice to see positives

Not keen myself but I think our personal preference is irrelevant, it's becom very popular recently similar names are Venitia, Sahara, Vienna, India, Florence, Georgia, Lousiana.

Agree Sav is horrid 🙈 is that unavoidable?

I love it, I grew up in Africa on the savannah grasslands, such beautiful positive associations of blonde grass, heat and dust. A favourite of mine.

I know an elderly Susannah, she goes by Sannah, so I suppose it could also be a shortening for Savannah too.

I think Savannah is lovely. I think 'Anna' is a more natural nickname than 'Sav'.

It's a bit of a Chardonnay name to me.

It's very porn star/WAG/Katie Price.

I love the place though.
