Should I name my baby girl....

[paprickapaull]

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

So Suzanne and Susannah are both old fashioned AND dated, yet somehow Susan isn't. OK then.....
I dislike labelling names 'dated' but clearly Susan is the most dated of the three names. You couldn't move for baby Susans in the fifties and sixties.

I don't think Susannah is dated. Susan is a 'grandmother''s name now so is probably due a comeback. Suzanne is 1960s/1970s, so probably not ready for a comeback - it's the french form of Susan.
I know lots of Sues born in 1940s/50/60s.

I would pick Jacqueline if you are planning on no nicknames. If you are then I'd go with Suzanne and call her Suzie which I think is darling. x

Jacqueline

Also my Mum and MIL!

So popular in the 50s in my case....

What about Susannah / Suki / Johanna / Josephine/ Celine / Jocelyn / Jacoba
Or anything except Jacqueline tbh

From experience, she'll spend a great deal of time correcting people when they don't listen properly and call her Susan, and that it's one z and two ns if you call her Suzanne. But of course it is the best name of the two 😉
If you do call her that, spell her Suzie with a z please if you use a nickname. And I've never been called Sue. All the Sue's I know are short for Susan.

There nothing wrong with a 'dated' name. Why is it ok for all the old fashioned names like Albert, Elsie, Edith, Ralph etc to make a come back, but not for Suzanne?

Suzanne is a perfectly acceptable (normal) name.

Suzette?

Nah, that's just crepe

Absolutely. Somebody has to be the first to revive them. In 20 years' time, maybe Tracy, Linda, Gary and Keith will be the height of sophistication again!

The only Suzanne I know is horrible so not that one.
