We’ve been told Sanna isn’t really used over here as a shortened form of Susanna and we would be better calling DD Zanna.

We’ve had a few negative comments from family members this side of the channel on how it looks written down.

Just wondered if this was the case?

I know a Zanna (short for Susannah), never heard of Sanna.

I really like the name Sanne (pronounced the same as Sanna).

I work with a lot of Dutch people and it's a really common name over there.

They both made me think of constipation medication.
I'm not sure either works well as a name

I teach a Sana, unfortunately she gets a hard time from peers as it's a brand of Sanitary protection.

Sanna doesn’t sound very nice to my ears. It has connotations of sanitary.

Zanna didn’t make me think of Xanax because I first saw it written rather than heard it, but of course I hear it now.

Susie is very pretty and uncommon. Could you use that?

I don't like either- they sound like medical brands.

To me they defo sound like some kind of medicine

Susie is lovely

Neither are actual names are they? Don’t like either to be honest.

Both are very strange.. and not in a good way. The only Susannas I know that shorten their name go by Suzie

Zanna sounds too much like Zanax.
