Susannah, leaving either Susie or Sukie as nn possibilities, I like Sukie.

May as spelling definitely, but it is such a current filler name.

Sukie Mae is so cute ! love

GoodSoup · 13/04/2022 18:05

Susie May, but May is just an over used filler name now.

Lucasboo · 13/04/2022 18:07

I should add the May but is for family reasons rather than just a filler but considering varying the spelling

I only like Susie if it is short for Susannah.

Suki is the only way I've ever seen the other name spelled.

I like May (not Mae nor Mai - I would pronounce the second as "My")

ramidad123 · 13/04/2022 18:13

im gonna add i love the spelling Mei as well and is pronounced the exact same as may. mei is of chinese origin

Susie May

DramaAlpaca · 13/04/2022 18:23

Susie May is the least worst of them

If you're naming a Yorkshire terrier then Sukie is fine. It's ridiculous for a human

EmergencyHammer · 13/04/2022 18:24

Sukie Mae

Lovely

Nomunkat · 13/04/2022 18:25

Susie May

SquigglePigs · 13/04/2022 18:26

May or Mae would both work. If I saw Mai I'd pronounce it "My" so that would set your daughter up for a lifetime of correcting people.

I prefer Sukie over Susie but Susie is still ok.

I like a pp suggestion of a longer name that could abbreviate to either too.

Suprima · 13/04/2022 18:27

Suki spelled correctly is the best.

helpmum2003 · 13/04/2022 18:28

Susie May but I agree Suzanna is better.

toastofthetown · 13/04/2022 18:29

Susie works better as a standalone name than Sukie. May is by far my preference for the middle name spelling. I would pronounce Mai more like My. I know a young Susie May, so though I prefer Susanna as a full name, I don't think Susie is bad. The nickname as a full name trend is huge at the moment.

Datsandcogs · 13/04/2022 18:30

Susie every time. Suki is a cat’s name.

scottishnames · 13/04/2022 18:39

Susan even - really rather a pretty name - or Susannah, with HER choice of Sukey (traditional spelling) or Susie as a nickname - or something completely different, such as 'Tiddles' or 'Podge' or 'Boo' or whatever, because that's how nicknames work.
May for the month, or (trad) short for Mary is fine as a middle name.

mistermagpie · 13/04/2022 18:47

Susie short for susannah.

But if it's Sukie then I think it should be Suki.

May should be spelled like that.

DuchessOfSausage · 13/04/2022 18:49

Susie is OK but May is a filler middle name even if it is a family name.
Mae and Mai are awful

Lucasboo · 13/04/2022 18:51

@Suprima

Suki spelled correctly is the best.
Suki is of Japanese derivation and a completely different name.

Sukie and Sukey are both traditional English spellings going back to the 18th century so are spelled correctly

Sukie Mae

mummymei · 13/04/2022 19:00

Full name Susannah and let the nickname develop naturally. Susie and Sukie are both good potentials

PeskyRooks · 13/04/2022 19:19

Susie May

Theforest · 13/04/2022 19:35

Sukie definitely
Drop the Mae entirely

Blimecory · 13/04/2022 19:54

Susie May.
