Hello

Which do you prefer and why? Other suggestions welcome for first names and middle names, also like Astrid.

Thank you

I like Susanna without the h (like Shakespeare's daughter), with the nn Susie.

let's hope that in 21 years time, applicants will be allowed to be female.

I prefer the name Susannah to the name Alexandra which seems a bit masculine to me. It's allowed to be a woman, it shouldn't be a shooting yourself in the foot mistake to have a woman's name.

I have a very feminine name and I don't think it's what has held me back professionally. That would have been my poor exam results, my lack of any clear plan, lack of ambition perhaps, having too many children (yeh, that).

Susannah - so beautiful.

Definitely Susanna(h).

I've never been keen on the name Alexandra.

I like both, but I don't really like Alex as a nn. For Alexandra I would go for Sasha, Lexie or Andie as a nn.

I know 2 Susannahs - one is Susie, the other is Suz or just Susannah. Sukey is a a cute option too!

Sue is a shit nickname.

Alex is cool.

Susannah is lovely and I like Zanna/Zannie or Essie as nicknames as well as Susie.

While Alexandra is quite nice as a full name, I hear the name Alex so often that it is a bit overdone for me now and I really don't like Lexi.

So my vote is definitely for Susannah.
