Suki/Sukey

[elseIlltellyourfather]

As nn, with Susannah as actual name. Am I being ridiculous? I think it is the traditional nn and I really like it (despite it being the name of childhood friend's dog).

I like it a lot. Go for it.

I knew a Suki, wonderful women and loved the name - hers was stand alone Suki.

Really like it, although Susannah is not my cup of tea.

Speaking of tea, wasn't it Polly who put the kettle on and Suky who took it off again?!

Mmm yes I like it, it brings to mind True Bloods Sooki said in that sexy Bill Compton voice

Oh, thats a good point. I don't want a child who doesn't put the kettle on but insists on taking it off. Annoying. glad it is liked so far. I am not desperately crazy about Susannah either but do love Suki.

I have a lovely friend who's called Suki. Fantastic name

Love it - both long and short

mynameis - you mean "suuckeh" :o

It sounds very Japanese - is it?

Reminds me of True blood but I like it!!

Mopsyflopsy, no idea, but I agree it does. Havn't mentioned it to DH yet but can now I have some MN ammo to back it up, he is easily manipulated persueded.

Polly put the kettle on, Suki take it off again. First thought I'm afraid - think there would be lots of comments/jokes along these lines.

Suki is the name of a character in avatar the last airbender. It's also a term from martial arts meaning something like poor technique or weakness (can't remember exactly). I think it might also be a place somewhere.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it as a name or nickname. It sounds cute and a bit plucky. I'd go with the Suki spelling rather than sukey (which may get pronounced sucky).

Do you like Susie, Suzy, Sue, Zanna?

PlanetLizard, Not at all. I know that is a hazard. Or are you just being very polite and offering alternatives to Suki?

I was at school with a Sukey. She was a Suzanne. Much prefer Susannah. It's really nice... also like Anny as a NN too.

Dd is at school with a Suki. I love it. DH thought it sounded like a pet's name, but what does he know!

Go for it. Susannah is lovely, too.

ElephantsAndMiasmas ooh yes gives me the shivers everytime [swoon]

I also think of the nursery rhyme. Plus one of the characters in Something Special (the BBC series featuring "Mr Tumble") is called Aunt Sukey.

Not terribly keen, sorry.

Always wonder why they say 'Suck-eh' on True Blood. Must be their weird accents!

I think the normal pronunciation is 'Soo-kie'.

Very cute. Susannah is lovely as well.

Told DH Susannah first, he liked. Said he would need working on for Suki but that's ok, its not 'no'! thanks a lot for the responses, really surprised how positive they are.

I love Suki, I considered it when PG (had a DS in the end).

I am a lone dissenting voice then. It is a name for a cat not a person.
