Very interested to hear your opinions on this name. Have a little boy with a popular biblical now. Expecting another baby. Have chosen another biblical name for a boy.
I've always struggled with girls names. I liked Matilda but a friend used it and feel its tarnished the name for me now, so don't feel passionate about using it like I did before.

I recently heard the name Savannah. I work in an area where there are multiple upper class circles and one of the ladies recently had a baby girl called Savannah.
Ever since, I've had this name stuck in my head. The same way I did with Matilda.
I genuinely feel it could be "the" name, so really just intrigued to hear your responses.
Many thanks.

I also prefer Susannah. Or Deborah.

I love Savannah.

Savannah was one of the hipster names of the 1990s (they weren't called hipsters then, but you know what I mean).

I don't think it's a particularly fashionable or posh name

I like it

Really like

Housetreecar · 06/04/2022 21:39

I think it’s terrible

Nice

I much prefer Susannah. Savannah sounds very 90s to me.

Nah. Agree that Susannah is delightful - and goes with your biblical boys name.

Thank you everyone for the feedback, a mixed bag of reviews but generally quite positive.

To those that suggested Susannah, I really don't like that name. In fact..... however much I've tried to, I don't really like any biblical girls names. Biblical boys names are definitely much nicer!

Also, I don't know Savannah's mum personally. I know of her in the circles I work, so it wouldn't be a issue "copying" - to the person that asked.
