what do you think of the names

[BlackBirdsArePoliteWarnings]

Susannah and Suzanne. Been listening to Suzannd by Leonard Cohen and I'm quite fond of them.

I really like both. The only problem is that I'm not that keen on Susie as a nickname.

I like both, hauntingly beautiful song.
Not keen on Susan, and not sure about Suzy, Susie.

I like the song. Susie seems more now than Suzy.
Suzanne seems a bit 1970.

I like Susan and Susie.

Love them both, and knew a really cool girl called Zanna, short for Suzanna.

I like Susannah a lot. Suzanne feels dated to me. Love the song though!

I would say go for Susanna, in my opinion there is no need for the extra ‘H’. Just more writing LOL! Suzanne is a little dated now, better go with something timeless 😊❤️

I’d say that Susan is quite nice because it juxtaposes to the modern day view of the patriarchy, plus you can shorten it with sesura and call it Susie.

@louisabranchers that's a somewhat unusual and disorganised sentence. Is everything ok?

I like Suzannah, nn Suki.

I’d also like some of whatever@louisabranchers has been drinking.

Do NOT question my intelligence. I have a PhD in English Literature and Linguistics and additionally I am dyslexic and I have ADHD. My life would be better if I wasn’t targeted everyday.

I am a non alcoholic vegan

Susannah is lovely and feels timeless, I'm less keen on Suzanne which to me is a bit dated.
The only Susannah I know goes by Zanne for short rather than Susie.

Susannah is a beautiful timeless name in my opinion

I love Susannah and Susie as a shortening.

Susannah is a great name, a classic . Suzanne doesn’t have the same feeling

I like Susannah but not Suzanne. Such similar names but feel really different somehow. A bit like Joanna and Joanne.

Not keen on Sue, Susie or Suki. But I really like Zanna as a nickname. Or Anna.

I love Susannah and the one I know is just called that.. but I’m not wild about Susie it Sukey.

One of these is my name and I absolutely hate it. Nobody gets it right, people call me Susan, no-one can spell it, and it's dated (and was already dated when I was born, so makes me sound 15 years older than I am). People try to shorten it to Sue, which is just awful, or Susie which gives me no authority at work. Absolutely terrible.

I prefer Susannah. But don't mind Suzanne.

Prefer Roseanna

Nobody’s targeting you - talking utter bollocks about the patriarchy is nothing to do with dyslexia..

Susannah is derived from the Hebrew name Shoshannah, which carries the beautiful meanings of "lily" or "rose".

Currently unpopular names imbued with floral imagery, but also hold symbolic and historical significance. The Leonard Cohen connection is nice.

I guess it all comes down to whether or not to like the diminutives.

I prefer Susannah but both are nice. I don't understand why people are saying they don't like the diminutives (though I love Sue, Susie not so much). If you never use them neither will anyone else. A friend has an Alexandra and she has never, in my hearing, been called Al or Alex. Go for what you love.

Prefer Susannah but think you can't go wrong with either

You say that, but I never use them and people shorten it all the time. I will never be a Sue but that doesn't stop them!
