Susannah
Grace
Clemency
Thea

Sorry for yet another post!

Susannah - although I'd probably spell it without the h. I think Sue is fine as a NN, but Susie is sweet!

i like thea. but do you pronounce it 'tier' or 'thee - er'?

Claire236 · 16/04/2010 11:10

Love Grace & Thea although as previous posters have said Grace is very popular. What about Lila, watched something on tv the other day with someone called Lila which I thought was lovely.

kando · 16/04/2010 10:52

Thea and Grace are lovely!

Tyson86 · 16/04/2010 10:43

I love Thea

CakeandRoses · 16/04/2010 10:41

Susannah - Sorry but the possible nn Sue just kills this for me
Grace - It's a fine name, it's just too popular - has been in top 5 for yonks now
Clemency - Lovely sound, lovely meaning, v unusual. Yes!!
Thea - Nothing bad to say about this, it just doesn't sound very pretty to me (which might not be a requirement for you)

Kneazle · 16/04/2010 08:58

love Clemency - have you read Clemency Pogue fairy killer brilliant book.

MrsJohnDeere · 16/04/2010 08:49

Clemency

bubbles12 · 16/04/2010 08:40

Grace and Susannah are my faves and I love Susie as a nickname.

Isentthatbox · 15/04/2010 22:43

Susannah - love it as long as it doesn't get Sue - I like Suzie tho'
Grace - My dd's middle name but over 20 years ago it wasn't as popular as it is now.
Clemency - oh yes!!
Thea - sorry, nope!

LaDiDaDi · 15/04/2010 22:38

Susannah

LyraSilvertongue · 15/04/2010 22:24

I like Susannah but it might get shortened to Sue.

NotanOtter · 15/04/2010 22:22

Thea and Susannah both heaven
Susannah might swing it just becasue a little more unusaul for babies

sweetkitty · 15/04/2010 19:23

Thea

deaddei · 15/04/2010 19:22

Thea and Susannah both lovely.
Grace- I like it, but is not as unusual..
Don't like Clemency.

dizzydixies · 15/04/2010 19:20

Susannah for me

jellybeans · 15/04/2010 19:04

I like Thea and Grace.

madly · 15/04/2010 18:56

Clemency is a fantastic wonderful name.

Earthstar · 15/04/2010 18:41

Susannah is the only one of these I like

GladioliBuckets · 15/04/2010 18:35

Graces are very rarely graceful IME.

GladioliBuckets · 15/04/2010 18:34

I like Thea best. It's unusual but classy and has a little bit of Greek magic to it.

Hulababy · 15/04/2010 18:12

From OP, I prefer Grace

ozmetric · 15/04/2010 17:32

I like Clemency and Grace.
