Very interested to hear your opinions on this name. Have a little boy with a popular biblical now. Expecting another baby. Have chosen another biblical name for a boy.
I've always struggled with girls names. I liked Matilda but a friend used it and feel its tarnished the name for me now, so don't feel passionate about using it like I did before.

I recently heard the name Savannah. I work in an area where there are multiple upper class circles and one of the ladies recently had a baby girl called Savannah.
Ever since, I've had this name stuck in my head. The same way I did with Matilda.
I genuinely feel it could be "the" name, so really just intrigued to hear your responses.
Many thanks.

It's a tiny bit southern heiress, but I think it has a v pretty sound to it

It's quite nice. Can't think of a nice nickname from it though. You may not want to shorten it but school friends certainly will. Susannah does give you more options in that respect.

Dreadful. Susannah is lovely though

So close to Susannah, yet not half as nice IMO.

Whilst it's not a name I would choose, I can see its appeal. It's a lovely sounding name. It is getting quite popular. 2 friends of mine have very recently welcomed grandaughters with this name.
If you love it, go for it.

I know two Savannahs, one is a horse.

What about Susannah instead? It would fit better with your boys' names.

Mamadothehump · 06/04/2022 08:15

Well it's my daughter's name so I'm a fan!!

I like it, I have visited Savannah, Georgia, in the past so it has positive connections for me.
