Shoshanna

[BabyBrainJane]

Context;
DH is Jewish, I’m not. Looking at Hebrew names that are distinctive without being completely out there 👍

Phonetic pronunciation is “shosh-AH-nah“.
Sounds like “shoh-shanna”

Try not to be too mean as I really like this one!🤣

Love it. As pps have mentioned zosia memets character on girls is Shoshanna or shosh for short.

Not a favourite out of many beautiful Jewish names.

However, I knew a Shoshanna many years ago - her lovely mum was Jewish - and she was a spoiled, nasty mare who gained a terrible reputation as a teen. She made her poor mum’s life hell as had the father from whom mum was divorced. She finally left the area with her useless father.

Often wondered what happened to her but she certainly ruined the name for me.

@LittleRa in a million and one ways other than the you tube clip that op attached!

Our old vet was called Shoshannah, I think it’s a really nice name.

What @TARSCOUT said. I’m Scottish to and as soon as I saw it I thought a drunk slurring suzanna. Sorry.

love it - but think of possible nicknames you would be happy with as it will almost certainly be shortened, maybe not by family but by friends, school etc

I don’t like it

I love the name but it’s not an easy name to say. It’s more to be admired than to be used day to day.

I like it and I like Shoshi. What about Talia, Kayla, Ariella, Ora, Eliana, Liora, Lia, Shira, Noa.

All quite modern Jewish girls names.

Dalia
Talia
Esther (Esti)
Mila

All Jewish names with a similar vibe

Susan derives from Susanna, which is the Latin version of - Shoshanna.

It means lily.

My Hebrew name is Shiphra which I love and wish was my real name (Shiff-ra) - bit out there but I think it’s lovely.

Au revoir, Shosanna

Sorry don't like it and the likely nn is Shosh which is a shame when there are so many gorgeous Hebrew names mentioned above.

I also used to watch Girls so for me this has become a normal name after hearing it so many times on TV.
I like it.

Lol @ the Scottish accent comments.
MIL grew up in the Gorbals, Glasgow and it sounds fine with her accent

There are loads of nicknames for it;
Shosh, Shoshie (I’m a Charlotte that was Charshie growing up!), Shana, Hannah, Anna

I love it! I’d heard it before I saw Inglorious Basterds (yes that is the right spelling, Quentin messed up 🤣) but I fell in love with it more after seeing that film.

I love it! Another fan from Inglorious Basterds.

I really like it. I know one who goes by Shosh.

I'd consider it myself, but no Jewish ancestry unfortunately.

I like Susanna too.

I love it

Love it. And Scottish.

I like it! I grew up in a very Jewish area and there were a couple of Shoshannas. Deborah was another popular one. Maybe because of that it sounds normal to me.

Love it.

I like it very much. I like the repeating ‘sh’ sound. Very pretty, but the ‘o’ sound gives it a grown up sophistication. Go for it!

hahahahaha
