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

Offensive and rude in some Slavic languages meaning a bitch/vagina. I'd avoid, sorry

great as a short form of Susannah, not on its own.

willow is a bit wet and will be unfortunate if she is not willowy

Really love Suki. It has very cool vibes. I imagine a confident, intelligent woman who doesn’t take any nonsense. Maybe a bit rebellious. I think it’s quite a sexy name. I’d love to be called Suki. Established but unusual, a really great choice.

Quirky, but not necessarily in a good way.

Cute on a kid, a little infantile for a grown woman

I've only ever known adults with the name and I think it's a great name. Never thought of it as "infantile" or "quirky".

Suki put the kettle on

I love it. I know a grown up Suki, and sure she’s quirky in a slightly hippy way. But she’s beautiful, and funny, and clever and wise. And she has a great name ☺️

I just think of Suki from EastEnders.

I don't love it. It mainly reminds me of the chef best friend in Gilmore Girls. Prefer Willow.

Love Willow.

Suki is too much of a nickname, and a cat's name

FlutterbButterfly · 25/12/2022 18:03

Lovely, I have known a couple over the years (.I teach, not in conventional education and hcome across hundreds of pupils each year, so can still assure you it's unusual.

Suki is lovely

Figgypudding123 · 25/12/2022 17:55
