Savanna

[redglow]

Is this a bit of a mouthful?

I don't think so - prefer it with a h on the end if I'm honest. (but actually I like susanna petter)

But it is fine

I like it....How many syllables does your surname have??

two scarlett

It's definitely sayable. Lots of names have 3 syllables, even "easy" ones like William and Alison which everyone can manage!

I too prefer the H on the end.

Yup sounds good to me...if you think it works then go for it! x

Do you think Savannah would look better..ie written out?

I used to love this name about 20 odd years ago and then I read the prince of tides by pat conroy and was put off it.

prefer Susannah tbh

I love it but please add the 'H' on the end, it looks a lot nicer IMO, sort of more symmetrical. I wanted Savannah considered when pg with DS (we didn't know the sex). DP was a little unimpressed. :(

My oldest is Savannah (8 years old). Definitely like it with an 'h' on the end. I don't find it a mouthful and generally prefer to use the whole thing but her friends often use 'Vannah'.

If you must use it, put the H on.

I have never understood Savannah as a girl's name- it is a habitat/environment. Maybe because I am a geologist, but to me it is like calling someone Tundra or Permafrost.

I am not keen
Sorry
It sounds very redneck to me
Don't even know if we can say redneck, but I know 'chav' is frowned upon :)

i know a lovely Savannah, adult. She's often known as Vannie or Vans though.

we plan to call our first daughter...if we ever have one.....savanna brooke. I love it, i think it is much nicer without the h on the end. Just my opinion tho.
If you write off savanna as it is a grassland then you could write off Paige, Brooke, Cooper, Sienna, Saffron, Rose, Ivy etc etc as they are names of 'things' too, it all comes down to personal choice.

We like it because of the tie to africa my OH is originally from their so it links nicely to his heritage.
Good luck with whatever you choose!

My friend named one of her twin girls Savannah, it's a beautiful name

It's a bit too beauty pageant for my taste, but if you do use it, it's nicer with an h at the end.

I like it and it was on my girls list when pregnant with both ds's (before I knew they were boys) Also H on the end for me too, looks incomplete otherwise written down, well to me anyway.

Vile. On par with with Lexi/Lexie/Lexxiii

I think TheElf has nailed it with 'Beauty pageant'.

i dont think comments like 'vile' are exactly constructive :-( name choices are personal, for example I dont like Sarah, Sophie, Emily etc but I wouldnt tell someone who liked them that they were vile

Peehaps thats just me though.
