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?

I like Hazel OP
Helena - not so much.

I know two, both have Susannah as full names. One named after the other.

That's funny Herefortheduration I came on to say that DSis had chosen Susannah for a girl, to be known as Suki.
This was 40 years ago. She ended up with three boys though.

Love the name Suki. I don't know any pets called Suki and the one child I know called Suki is awesome. I think it's cool, slightly quirky, and strong sounding.

I also like Hazel and Helena. All really nice. I think if you pushed me to pick a favourite, I'd probably go with Hazel.

I also know it first from Gilmore Girls (played by Melissa Mccarthy)

And then my friend/OH's cousin named her cat Suki recently.

I've always loved the name Sakura and I think Suki is absolutely gorgeous as a nickname for that! I'm a bit gutted it's the name of my friends cat now 😩 as the cat is looked after by many of my OH's family when she's away 😭

It's a beautiful name. It's Japanese. Ignore those saying it's a pet name- you could say the same for so many names!! Oscar, Millie, Bonnie, max etc
I have a dog called Suki but I would still use it for a child.

Always loved the name Suki!

ChihuahuaMummy1 · 02/07/2019 09:33

Reminds me of Bill saying it in True Blood,if you've never seen it though u wont get the reference

It's lovely. I'd possibly spell it Sukie. Such a cute name.

AnonymousP · 02/07/2019 09:41

I love all of your names OP! Suki would have been on my list but can’t have it with our surname. I’ve used Helena and also love Hazel.

Go for Suki!

I do actually really like Susie too. I think we have our shortlist
