Should I name my baby girl....

[paprickapaull]

Should I name my name baby ( which is on her way) Jaqueline or Suzanne?

Susannah!!

I quite like Jacqueline (if you spell it correctly).

I used to dream of being called Susan but I am 58 :). Susannah of course.

Those names will come around again I'm sure. Jocasta?

Suzanne, or possibly Suzannah. I once knew a girl called Suzannah who went by Zannah and I thought it was lovely.

Well those names are both blasts from the not too distant past!

I like Jacqueline, but not its diminutives.

I know a Susannah which I prefer to Suzanne, and she’s called Suze rather than the frumpy Sue

my best friend is called Suzanne, My eldest DC (hipster) has it as her number one baby name. It'll come round again soon i'd imagine.

I was born in the 1980s and plenty of Suzannes and Jacquelines in school. Guess everything comes back into fashion!

Love that these are both names you hardly see used anymore, people will find them dated as they were popular for our generation and be one above.
Personally I prefer Suzanne and there's more nickname potential - sue, Suzi, Annie, Suki etc etc

The two names together make me think Valley of the Dolls.

But yes to what everyone else has said - Susanna(h) is lovely and feels fresher than Suzanne. I actually really like Susan as well, and I think it will come round again as people start naming children after their grandmothers.

Are you giving birth to a 50 year old?

I really like Jacqueline (and nn Jackie). I like Susannah but not so much Suzanne.

Jacqueline.

Suzette?

I really like Jacqueline- I’ve known several and they’ve all been lovely. My housemate at uni went by Jacqui which I think is a nice shortening.

Suzanne nickname Suzy

Neither.

Both dated. Susan or Susannah are nicer.

neither, bith very dated (and Jacqueline spelt wrong, not sure if that's intentional).

Susanna(h) better.

Well Suzanne out of the two, but as pps say, Susanna/h is nicer.

I am sure that both Suzanne and Jacqueline will come back into fashion some day though, they are both nice names. It is just the 'dated' perception that puts people off.

Why those names? Are they after someone? Both names are very dated.

Jacqueline.

They’ll end up either Jacky or Sue. My mum’s name and my mother in law’s name. Very dated.

I really like the idea of Jac for a girl (bit of a holby fan girl of jac Naylor)

So Jacqueline for me!

Suzanne, but Susanna would be better.

I really like Susan. I think Suzanne and Susannanh are too old fashioned and dated.

I prefer Jocelyn to Jacqueline.
