We don’t know what we’re having but DH has come up with the name Suki and I love it. I quite like Suki Elizabeth. What does everyone think?

I love all of your names OP! Suki would have been on my list but can’t have it with our surname. I’ve used Helena and also love Hazel.

Go for Suki!

It's lovely. I'd possibly spell it Sukie. Such a cute name.

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 02/07/2019 09:33

Reminds me of Bill saying it in True Blood,if you've never seen it though u wont get the reference

Owlbert · 02/07/2019 09:13

Always loved the name Suki!

lunaland · 02/07/2019 08:18

It's a beautiful name. It's Japanese. Ignore those saying it's a pet name- you could say the same for so many names!! Oscar, Millie, Bonnie, max etc
I have a dog called Suki but I would still use it for a child.

I also know it first from Gilmore Girls (played by Melissa Mccarthy)

And then my friend/OH's cousin named her cat Suki recently.

I've always loved the name Sakura and I think Suki is absolutely gorgeous as a nickname for that! I'm a bit gutted it's the name of my friends cat now 😩 as the cat is looked after by many of my OH's family when she's away 😭

Fatkins · 02/07/2019 08:06

I also like Hazel and Helena. All really nice. I think if you pushed me to pick a favourite, I'd probably go with Hazel.

Love the name Suki. I don't know any pets called Suki and the one child I know called Suki is awesome. I think it's cool, slightly quirky, and strong sounding.

That's funny Herefortheduration I came on to say that DSis had chosen Susannah for a girl, to be known as Suki.
This was 40 years ago. She ended up with three boys though.

Herefortheduration · 02/07/2019 07:12

I know two, both have Susannah as full names. One named after the other.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 02/07/2019 07:07

I like Hazel OP
Helena - not so much.

SmiledWithTheRisingSun · 02/07/2019 07:06

Pancake ha! Made me think about taking the kettle off too 🤣

GenevaMaybe · 02/07/2019 05:49

Helena is elegant and strong. Lena for short. V sweet

balonzz · 02/07/2019 05:42

my nan's cat.

HollyBollyBooBoo · 02/07/2019 05:21

Cats name

Prettylittlelady · 02/07/2019 05:15

Honestly? I think it sounds like a name for a cat or dog rather than a human!

GeorgiaGirl52 · 02/07/2019 04:32

Suki - a Siamese cat

Sophronia · 02/07/2019 04:18

I prefer Susannah or Helena.

Birdie6 · 02/07/2019 03:59

Where I live Sooky means whiney / babyish. But if it doesn't mean that where you are, go for it.

Iliterallycantthinkofanythingq · 02/07/2019 03:57

I think it's lovely and considered using it for my daughter but was worried about potential horrible teenage boys making jokes when she's a bit older Sad

Pemba · 02/07/2019 03:56

Helena is a beautiful name too. Hazel still seems a bit of a middle aged name to me, but it has a nice sound.

Pemba · 02/07/2019 03:53

Always used to think Suki was very cute, as a more unusual nickname for Susanna/h than Susie. A bit too cutesy as a stand alone name though.

I did have the misfortunate of having to deal with a Suki over the last year though who was an absolute bitch. In her case it was probably short for an Indian name, not sure which one. She was the first Suki I've met in real life, and unfortunately, this has put me off a bit. But it would be silly for you to be put off! I still think Susanna is an absolutely beautiful name.
