Just that really - love them both and can't decide which I prefer!

Flora by miles, it's beautiful, classic and underused.

I like Flora. Smile

I'm not a fan of Susannah. It still seems a bit dated (Susie, Sue etc).

The margarine connotations don't really exist where I live, though, so perhaps take those connotations into consideration if you do live in the UK.

Such different names that I'd wait to see what she's like when she's born before choosing.

For what it's worth I don't like Susannah as every one I've known has been a self promoting big pain in the arse (4 of them! Seriously!) and I think Flora is a lovely calm, sweet name.

Susannah sounds a little dated, but it is nice and not too rare or too common. Don't like Flora at all tbh - I think of a cow, and I think of the Flora butter/margarine.

Susannah by miles.

Susanna or Susannah - definitely. Lots of options for shortening it if need be, and a classy under-used name.
