What is everyone’s thoughts on Suki. Would be our 4th daughter. It seems familiar but unusual at the same time. Other name we are considering us Willow so would be interested in people’s thoughts on both x

Instantly thought of the Belfast tea company but probably not relevant if you’re not in NI!

I love this name!

Suki makes me think Japan - I have absolutely no idea why though...🤦🏼‍♀️

It's because it's a Japanese name.

Great name for a cat.

SoShallINever · 29/12/2022 23:32

I'd assume you were Korean.

knew a Suki, at school, mega rich parents, so thats ok then. Susanna is a lovely name, rich, melodious, Suki is a bit flat, fine for calling the cat in, SukiWillow is better. If your surname is Lear, you could call her Shanda. Best to wait until baby is born, when you see her, you may well call her Rosie.

Can definitely say she won’t be Rosie as that is her sister’s name!

Polly put the kettle on. Suki take it off again.

SwedishEdith · 29/12/2022 17:02

I'm saying it in my head and I really don't like it. Sounds hard - that k sound. As it sounds like a cat's name, what about Tabby/Tabitha or Kitty?
Tilly
Tina/Lina

Suki is a pets name, as is Willow.

AnuSTart · 29/12/2022 16:49

It's badass!
Love it!
Also love Anouk.

I too think of Japan... maybe the Suzuki association?

I think Suki is lovely - have only known of one. Heard of lots of Willows but that is ok too. Suki will stand out.

SingingSands · 29/12/2022 16:41

There was a Suki at my school. The boys used to ask if she'd "Suki me off". Grim.

winonarose · 29/12/2022 16:26

I think Suki is cute and I love the meaning. It's short and sweet

Notellinganyone · 29/12/2022 16:24

Suki is a diminutive for Sarah or Susan. Give her a proper name and use it as a nn. It’s very cutesy so might not work well when she’s older. I really love Susanna so I’d probably go for that.

CrazyHorse · 29/12/2022 15:04

My boss is called Suki. She's neither infantile or quirky. She does get very irritated if anyone tries to call her Sue.

Blendandmix · 29/12/2022 13:54

I like the name

Suckey not Socket!

Suckey? Really?? 😂😂

Suckey not Socket!

Frightenedbunny · 29/12/2022 10:53

I’m sorry but it reminds me of a pets name or a prostitutes name. Willie much nicer.

Movinghouseatlast · 29/12/2022 10:52

Socket is a nicer spelling.

Bugbuggerit · 29/12/2022 10:51

Suki really is a lovely name . It was on my daughters list of names .
