Zinnia, It's a name that could possibly grow on me , but atm i'm not sure I like it

flooziesusie · 23/03/2009 15:21

Zannah can be a nick name of Susannah.. would it be that wierd for you to use Zinnia as a sort of hybrid? But still call the babe Susannah?

Or am I just being silly now.... hhhmmm

I like both tbh.

RachieB · 23/03/2009 14:49

I quite like it

dont like Susannah

PheasantPlucker · 22/03/2009 18:38

My dd has a big picture on her wall of all the 'alphabet' flower fairies, and Zinnia is particularly nice - so you get my vote based purely on that!

But I do like Susanna too. Makes me think of Handel.

I think Zinnia is really pretty. actually prefer it to Susannah, which is pretty in its own right but the 2 know are both always called Sooze.

randomname · 22/03/2009 13:29

Prefer Zinnia (although Susanna would have her own song!)

loobylu3 · 22/03/2009 12:26

Susanna is so much nicer!!

dinkymum · 21/03/2009 23:13

I like it!

bringonthetrumpets · 21/03/2009 23:03

haha oh my gosh, i decided when i was around 13 that i was going to name my daughter this after a book that i read called chasing redbird. i still think it's a beautiful name. if you like it then by all means!

Steaknife · 21/03/2009 22:58

I think Zinnia is very pretty but you might want to think about how what it would be shortened to? Zinny? Zi zi?

I also like Susannah.

Please don't try to make a hybrid though - Ziannah or Sunnia

FairLadyRantALot · 21/03/2009 22:55

Zinnia...as in ZSin-ni-ah....or some such thing....hm...not sure, tbh....Zinah would be nicer....

Tidey · 21/03/2009 22:54

LOL Buds I mean. Must remember to preview...

Tidey · 21/03/2009 22:53

I think it was the name of one of the twins from the Darling Bugs of May. Susannah is much prettier imo.

SlartyBartFast · 21/03/2009 22:53

how about Xenia???

dizzydixies · 21/03/2009 22:51

Susannah

piscesmoon · 21/03/2009 22:50

No contest-Susannah

screamingabdab · 21/03/2009 22:41

Susanannh, not zinnia (Sorry)

cece · 21/03/2009 22:09

OK I can now judge.

Susanna wins hands down.

What was your favourite before this one?

Leannabanana · 21/03/2009 22:04

isn't that just surnames tho? i thought it was a pretty flower name that is unusual with some nice NN potential....Zizi, Zinny etc....that isn't daisy lily or rosie...

I'd like to like it for your sake but ...
No, sorry.

Also they say Z's are bad because they're always last in alphabetically order things.

pavlovthecat · 21/03/2009 21:56

ickletickle · 21/03/2009 21:56
