Great name, it was on our girls names shortlist (but we had two boys).

I prefer without the h. Looks neater.

Without the h.

I love how all the other letters are repeated apart from the U. I would use Vivienne as a middle name.

What a beautiful name!

Susannah- but i'm biased as it's my name. To be fair, your little girl will soon get used to her name being spelt wrong, even when it's written clear as day at the top of an email. Susanna, Suzanna, Suzannah, Suzanne, Susan...i've had them all 🤣

Susanna- no contest, it was good enough for Shakespeare (the King of names🤣) for his daughter after all. It also seems to be the version used in most Bibles? (so I’ve got no idea where the version with the H comes from).

I also think Susanna looks more streamlined and elegant personally- but either way, it’s a lovely choice, classic and underused imo (and so many great nn’s - Sunny, Suki, Sansa as well as the obvious Suze/Susie)

Love both versions, but I voted for Susannah as it feels more traditional.

I love Susanna, it was my Gran's name, although she was known as Nina.

With the age.

When she gets to her teens and is messing around with Susan, Suzie, Suzz.... she can start with the 'h' and spell her name backwards to have Hanna
