DH wants to name DD1 Susanna as it has important family links for him but I'm just not sure if I like it or not.

What does the mumsnet jury think?

I actually really like it although I would probably go Annie rather then Susie for a nickname. Susannah is nice too with the h.

flybabyfly · 26/04/2018 03:23

I like it! Very underused at the moment but a lovely classic name.

Sophronia · 26/04/2018 03:37

It’s one of my favourite girls names Smile

AmazingPostVoices · 26/04/2018 03:39

Lovely

I love it.

I prefer the spelling Suzanna.

Awesome name. Was top of our list for a long time.

Pemba · 26/04/2018 04:06

Gorgeous name. Lots of nice nicknames you could use too, Susie, Sukie, Zanna etc. Not overused as pp said.

Iwasjustabouttosaythat · 26/04/2018 04:09

I don’t like it. Makes me think of that awful Kinks song. And annoying women who go by “Suzie”. Very 80s. Just me though. Make it a middle name if you’re not fussed?

FusRoDah · 26/04/2018 05:07

Love it, it was on our shortlist for DC1. I like it best without the H on the end.

ElizaDontlittle · 26/04/2018 05:15

I like it. Don't use a z though. Lots of shortening and classic enough without being too popular.

Love it (spelled as you have done). Dislike the shortenings, but there is no rule to say a name has to be shortened.

SinglePringle · 26/04/2018 05:55

Love it but spelt the traditional way with the ‘h’ at the end. It’s a beautiful, classic name.

flaggerblasted · 26/04/2018 06:13

It's a lovely name

GraceLeeper · 26/04/2018 06:39

I like it! It's a very lovely name and very unique.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 26/04/2018 06:40

Like it and love Susie.

Lots of nickname possibilities. I know an adult Anna who’s actuality susanna.

flumpybear · 26/04/2018 06:57

Not keen either - I'd agree to middle name

Shadowboy · 26/04/2018 07:00

I quite like it. I don’t love it but I don’t think negatively of it.

Ikeameatballs · 26/04/2018 07:07

I like it, it was on my list if DS had been a girl.

YoucancallmeVal · 26/04/2018 07:22

Lovely name. Susannah is the spelling I prefer. I don't think it's very 80s - I went to school with lots of Suzannes which is a very different name in my opinion.

NumberFrame · 26/04/2018 07:26

Really like op and love Suzie as nn too

17caterpillars1mouse · 26/04/2018 07:28

Like a PP I like Susanna (Much better with a h) as long as Susie is avoided. I love Annie though

pieceofpurplesky · 26/04/2018 07:34

Beautiful name.

pipilangstrumpf · 26/04/2018 08:14

Susanna is beautiful. I wouldn't add an h!

RoundaboutSnail · 26/04/2018 08:23

It's OK.

DramaAlpaca · 26/04/2018 08:24

It's really lovely. I'd spell it Susannah.
