We don’t know what we’re having but DH has come up with the name Suki and I love it. I quite like Suki Elizabeth. What does everyone think?

Nicer with a y. Think it sounds a bit poodle-ish with an ‘i’.

I think it's lovely. We were going to use it but had boys. Do it!

Lovely

Love it

If it's pronounced the way I imagine it is then I would think her high school years won't be very fun

It was quite a popular name when I was a teenager, but a shortening

Love it! I know an older Asian woman called Suki and she's so gentle, beautiful name.

Love it.

It's pronounced 'soo-key'

Lovely for a Golden Retriever....

MyNewBearTotoro · 01/07/2019 22:17

I really like it. I know a little girl called Sakura with the nn Suki.

Bunnybigears · 01/07/2019 22:17

I've only ever known pets to be called Suki.

TheRLodger · 01/07/2019 22:18

The clumsy but lovable chef / BFF in Gilmore Girls.
I quite like it but wouldn’t pick it for my own

ArtichokeAardvark · 01/07/2019 22:19

Isn't there a nursery rhyme about Suki? Polly put the kettle on... Suki take it off again, they've all run away.

I'm not a huge fan of the name (it seems a bit wet somehow!) but if you and your husband both love it then you should definitely use it.

Sooooozie · 01/07/2019 22:20

Totally love it.

GiggleMcDimples · 01/07/2019 22:21

I've known of 2 dogs called Suki. I wouldn't be able to get the pet thought out of my head.

DramaAlpaca · 01/07/2019 22:22

Cute on a poodle. Awful on a human.

ranibowsprimkle · 01/07/2019 22:23

That's what I was thinking iklboo but maybe it's just a regional term since no one else has mentioned it ( or I just need to get my mind out the gutter Blush)

BaronessBomburst · 01/07/2019 22:25

I thought of a cat.

isabellerossignol · 01/07/2019 22:25

It makes me think of the drink Sukie. Which is like a Fruit Shoot.

elephantmarch · 01/07/2019 22:27

Suki Waterman and the loveable chef from Gilmore girls. I like it. Think it is an abbreviation for Susan/Suzanne

kazza446 · 01/07/2019 22:28

Sorry, I thought it was a cats name!

Octonautsoctopod · 01/07/2019 22:28

I really like it!

BelulahBlanca · 01/07/2019 22:30

Really like it paired with Elizabeth
