Just how badly would Sookie go down?

[laweaselmys]

I'm not PG. Just broody.

But I love the name Sookie! Most people around here have quite traditional names though (DD also) so, how likely do you think it is that 'Sookie' would get catsbum faces?

Susannah is a fabulous name. Personally I think that Sukey is probably the worse nn for it though, it just sounds terribly wet to me. Sookie is just a bit silly.

sook/sookie means whingy or sulky in Aus

I haven't read or watched any vampire programmes, but I read that this is racing up the name charts in the USA.

The chef from Gilmore Girls is also Sukie, so it's probably going to take off there more. Probably sounds practically mainstream there now. I like it but I would put Susan(na) on the bc

I disagree with the pronounciation of Suki, it is very close to sook-E (probably where sookie comes from). It means love in Japanese.

It's my cat's name (as Suki) - and she also gets called Pukey by me... possible nickname kids would call a child by as well?

No, much as I love True Blood, I don't think you should call your daughter Sookeh

Use Suki if you must, as it's the genuine name.

Much prefer Suzy or Susan.

All I can think of is the prostitute than Gene Hunt took to the wife-swapping party in Life on Mars I'm afraid

My friend is Sukie as nn for Susanna-I had a cat called Sukie too.
Sookie isn't real surely.

I tested Suki on the baby name board yonks ago, (when I was registered under a different name) and got slated for it :(

Funny how a programme on vampires can change opinion!

we always liked the name Suikhi for a little girl, but now that we are actually having a little girl we have gone off it!

i did know a really lovely little girl called suikhi and spelt that way as well, not sukey, or suki, tho there seem to be a few different spellings about.

didnt realise it was related to a vampire prog, i dont watch any of them at all, but now i def wont use the name!

I knew a Suki and she was very posh but really up herself too. Not a nice posh like a Poppy or Lily but more like a Verucca Salt...
Sookie is OK but everyone will assume you are a bit of a chav calling her after a TV character.
And of course it could be a boy which wouldn't work at all....

You KISSED Jace Everett??!!!??!

Well...he kissed me. And I said, "Quit it, I have a boyfriend." And he said, "Ok, sure." And then we went back to talking about the blues. :) There you have it-my one sort-of celebrity story. Unless you know who Mitch Hedberg is, in which case I have one more. :o

Ah, Igby Goes Down.
There's two hours of my life I'm not getting back. What shite.

polly put the kettle on

I'M WITH HONEY DRAGON!!! Errrrr, never seen him but that song and his voice are wonderful

I do like it.... buuuuuut it would be a bit like calling her Buffy. Sorry!

I like Suki though

I had a puppy called Sookie once and then there is the true blood series.
Honestly not for me but it doesn't matter what anyone else says if you like the name!
