Just watching a film and Savannah popped up. Something about it I really like.

Thoughts?

Sure why not.

Nice name. I think one of Peter Phillips' daughters is named Savannah.

RickOShay · 16/09/2017 22:04

Really like Savannah.

Mrsknackered · 16/09/2017 22:06

I really like it. I know two little ones and they are really lovely

Pastacube · 16/09/2017 22:06

reminds me of fats domino song havanna moon

Love it. We had an intern called Savannah last year, 21 year old.

I have a 14 year old Savannah.

Quite often gets a slating on here. Nice to see positive replies.

Go for it! I don't know any others personally.

Not keen. I prefer Susannah.

tellmyfriendsiminlove · 17/09/2017 02:51

Lots of porn stars called savannah

Pemba · 17/09/2017 04:42

Not bad, but I also prefer Susannah, which is gorgeous.

Crispbutty · 17/09/2017 04:55

Nice name

tellmyfriendsiminlove,

"Lots of porn stars called savannah"

Well Amber is the 3rd most commonly chosen porn name
[source: my (mortified-to-find-that-out) non-porn star friend called Amber], but that doesn't prevent it from still being regarded as a beautiful name too!

OP,
I like it. Though prefer Siena/Sienna.

ChocolateCrunch · 17/09/2017 06:56

I like it. I know a 10 year old with the name.

londonfeather · 17/09/2017 06:59

Really like it, it reminds me of the miller sisters. Only thing about it that puts me off a touch is I know one and people abbreviate it to 'Sav' which isn't nearly as nice.

Redpramlady · 17/09/2017 07:39

I really liked it after watching a film called letters to Juliett set in Italy. Thought it was a beautiful name it does get bad press on here thou so agree nice to see positives

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 17/09/2017 10:51

Very nice ! 😄

SuperBeagle · 17/09/2017 11:15

I like it.

Savannah, Georgia is a fabulous place too.

grufallosfriend · 17/09/2017 12:08

I don't like it personally.

MumBod · 17/09/2017 12:36

Lovely name.

MammieBear · 17/09/2017 17:39

Not keen myself but I think our personal preference is irrelevant, it's becom very popular recently similar names are Venitia, Sahara, Vienna, India, Florence, Georgia, Lousiana.

Thank you.
Agree Sav is horrid 🙈 is that unavoidable?

I love it, I grew up in Africa on the savannah grasslands, such beautiful positive associations of blonde grass, heat and dust. A favourite of mine.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 20/09/2017 01:48

I know an elderly Susannah, she goes by Sannah, so I suppose it could also be a shortening for Savannah too.

LorelaiVictoriaGilmore · 20/09/2017 13:52

I think Savannah is lovely. I think 'Anna' is a more natural nickname than 'Sav'.

PandorasXbox · 20/09/2017 15:11

It's a bit of a Chardonnay name to me.

NinonDeLenclos · 20/09/2017 17:48

It's very porn star/WAG/Katie Price.

I love the place though.
