Susanna - Sukie for short traditional family name or Elowen my current favourite as Xanthe vetoed by the family as doesn’t really go with surname

Susanna - so classic but underused, so would be my choice. Sukie is a super cute nn, but she has other options if she wants to when older - Sansa, Suze, Annie, Anya etc.

Elowen is very nice but El - names are quite popular at the moment, and I'm not sure outside Cornwall everyone will get the pronunciation right.

I only discovered the name Elowen the other day and absolutely love it! Suki was my cats name so less keen - also to be aware you don’t always end up with shortening you want for a name (just ask my mum...)

I think both are beautiful

Oh that's hard to choose between. I really love Susanna and it's a family name- lovely diminutive.
But I'd vote for the gorgeous Elowen. Now that's a name! Beautiful.
