Down to two names!

[ClaraBean]

We both love both of the names but dh strongly favours one, and I strongly favour the other 😁
Which do you prefer, and why? (I won't say which is my favourite!)
Shirley or Susan
Middle name will be Jean

Other names that we seriously considered, but we're discarded are Barbara, Gwen, Maureen, Moira and Roberta.
Opinions please (so I can report back to dh 😁)

This isn’t really the names for your baby? Is it? 😳 Tell me you seriously never considered Moira…

[ThatshallotBaby]

I prefer Shirley.
Could I mention Gloria?

[MajorCarolDanvers]

Susan

[Cuckoo48]

I prefer Shirley, of all of them.

[StrychnineInTheSandwiches]

Susie/Susan is nice.

Shirley is a cats bummed gossip's name.

[StrychnineInTheSandwiches]

Maureen and Moira are feckin atrocious.

25 years ago, Olive, Edith, Iris, Margot and Ruby sounded ridiculous names for babies. Now I know at least one of each of each.

[miltonj]

Susan Jean is lovely. Little Susie J! The rest are abysmal and I don't usually think that about names. Sorry!

[smallbeetle]

Susan,. I see names from my generation are making a comeback then!

[DisforDarkChocolate]

Susan, as I don't know you I prefer Suzanne.

[Barleysugar86]

I love both! Susie would be cute on a little girl, as would Shirley.
Lovely to have an S name too you don't get so many of them at the moment.

Can your really see Moira and Maureen making a comeback? Let the 60 year olds be the last ones ever 😂

[MrsRobinsonsHandprints]

Shirley you can't be serious

[Nap1983]

@StrychnineInTheSandwiches

Maureen and Moira are feckin atrocious.

Got to be a joke 😂

[yikesanotherbooboo]

I'm a fan of Susan .

[Kite22]

So it's come to this ?
Names from my generation now being considered "Old lady names"


How can you do this to me ???

Susan is better than Shirley

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Susan

[SheldontheWonderSchlong]

My mum's middle name is Shirley and she has hated it her whole life. Please don't do it!

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I like Moira! What’s wrong with it?

[ofwarren]

I think Shirley Jean is cute!

[Pieceofpurplesky]

To be fair @Cuckoo48 none of those names belong to a child killer like Moira.

If you are genuine please go for Susan - Susie is a lovely nickname. Shirley belongs with old aunts that rub your face with spit and a hanky. Although that may just be my trauma!

[whenwillthemadnessend]

Sue
Susan or susie are ok

Rest no.

Dd teen goes to school with a Jean as first name. She is very Cool

[MysticCT]

I'm not very keen on Susan, I know one and she hates it and says it's so old fashioned. I prefer Susanna.

[User354354]

Baby Barbara cannot be a serious suggestion.

I this this is a wind up and all your names the names you have suggested are awful.

[17caterpillars1mouse]

I adore Roberta

I'm not keen on your too finalists but I prefer Shirley slightly
