If I ask you which name to prefer, Susannah, Suzanne, or Suzette?

Sounds like Susannah is the clear winner :)

Susannah is gorgeous actually, never thought about that name but I reckon it needs reviving. Sue, though, is slightly dumpy, divorced and bitter and busies herself gossiping about her neighbours, who all despise her.

Susannah

rattyboombatty · 22/07/2014 18:53

Susannah gets my vote. Paulette was the name of my cabbage patch kid ??

Susannah

Brummiegirl15 · 21/07/2014 22:07

Beautiful name - Susannah. I'm pregnant and this is on my list but as Suzannah - nn Suzy

Not sure why I prefer with a Z!

FellReturneth · 21/07/2014 20:47

Suzanne.

ThatBloodyWoman · 21/07/2014 20:45

Susannah.

Susanna/h, then Suzette, then Suzanne a long way back.

My parents never reached an end to their argument as to whether I should be called Susannah (dad) or Suzanne (mum). So an aunt of mine stepped in and I ended up with another name not remotely like either one of them. I often think it would have been nice to be Susannah. I had five Suzannes in my class (70s and early 80s in Ireland).

Crepes Suzette doesn't bother me much because it was a name first :)

Susannah. Lovely name. If I were to ever have to name another girl, then this would be one of her names.

PresidentSpreadable · 21/07/2014 13:03

Susannah, I know two and they are both utterly wonderful people.

Love Susannah, dislike both Suzanne and Suzette

Sophronia · 20/07/2014 20:13

Susannah but I prefer it spelled Susanna.

angeltreats · 20/07/2014 20:12

I love Suzanne, it's the name of one of my best friends and also my cousin's little girl who is absolutely gorgeous.

Susannah is also very nice and I've known several very glamorous grown up Susannahs.

Don't like Suzette, sorry.

Sidney · 20/07/2014 20:09

My teenage dd is Susanna - she loves it. Some of her friends call her Suzi but mostly she is known by her whole name. There is a Susanna in Mozart's Marriage of Figaro and Shakespeare's daughter was Susannah. It means lily. What is not to like?

WhoKnowsWhereTheTimeGoes · 20/07/2014 19:26

Susannah, then Suzanne (a bit dated) then Suzette (just no, it's a pudding not a name).

bauhausfan · 20/07/2014 19:26

None - I know/knew two Suzannes and they were a pair of bitches.

Delphiniumsblue · 20/07/2014 19:24

Susannah.
( don't go for the pudding one!)

Alisvolatpropiis · 20/07/2014 19:23

Susannah

MissMysticFalls · 20/07/2014 19:22

It depends on the other names, but I think middle names are great opportunities to get your "eccentric name" kicks - they really don't matter all that much after the first month or so in my experience. So I'd go for suzette.
