Im in France and Suzanne is back in fashion now for babies. I'm Susan and hate my name. I was Sue n the UK but Sue sounds like Soule which is drunk in French so I reverted to Susan. But I still listen to the Archers and Susan Carter is horrible.

So I hate Susan.

I have a Susannah so obviously prefer that to Suzanne.
Rhiannon is nice. I know a 20 something one who goes by Annie.
Katie is the name of a vile little madame who bullied my dd at nursery so NOOO!

1 Suzanne
2 Rhiannon
3 by a long way Katie - to me this is a child’s name not an adult’s

I'm drawn to Rhiannon because I do love that song.

Katie - nah

Suzanne - prefer Susannah. It has more oomph.

Rhiannon feels the most timeless.

Suzanne is definitely dated and Katie is very generic.

Rhiannon is a great name and slightly different but not really ‘out there’.

The other two are boring boring boring

How can you even dare to say such a thing Susan? Susan Carter might have been a Horrobin but she is not horrible. Far from it. She is a devoted wife, mother and grandmother, who works hard.

Call yourself a The Archers listener. Pah! You probably don't even make your husband a chilli as a special treat.

I shall report back to Radio Addicts.

I'm a Rhiannon,I get called Rhi(Ree),hate Rhian and don't let anyone call me that.

PurplePansy05 · 15/06/2021 21:55

Out of these three, Katie. Personally I'd go with Katherine, Kathryn, Catherine or Catrin though, nn Katie.

PoliceDogWoof · 15/06/2021 22:00

Rhiannon - awful
Suzanne - dated, but Susan might come back. I like Susie
Katie - ok but boring

I’m another one doesn’t like rhiannon. Definitely bottom on the list. It’s not nice at all.

I don’t think it’s timeless either - I don’t know anyone my age called that (I’m 21/SE).

Katie is incredibly popular. Suzanne is the most unique but is ubiquitous with Susan. Both could be pronounced differently but it’s likely that some people will pronounce Suzanne as Susan.

Definitely agree that all 3 names are quite different from each other

ILoveShula · 15/06/2021 22:05

I'm a Welsh speaker, so shortening Catrin to Katie seems really weird when Cadi (pron. Caddy) is so much more obvious.

Rhiannon isn't particularly unusual and isn't said like in the Fleetwood Mac song, and it's a very old name. Then again they said Sara as Sarah.

Suzanne seems a bit 1970s, but it's nice, but so are Julie and Michelle.

Katie is lovely

Suzanne is awesome. Choose that.
