Susie?

[Firebird83]

It would be short for Susanna or Susannah - not sure which spelling I prefer.

So gorgeous! Love it! And there won’t be another in her class 😊 I think Susannah is the most usual spelling?

My mum, as a Susan (who goes by Sue), would tell you this is most definitely not due a comeback any time soon (she hates her name bless her) but if you both love it that's all that matters.

You'll be ahead of the curve, as I give it another 20 years yet before Sue names start making a comeback (alongside Carol, Linda, Debbie, Sally, Sharon, Wendy etc).

Susie is great!!

I like Susannah best. It looks unfinished with out the H on the end.

Just no. It’s so dated

I like the name Susan. Susannah and Susanna are both nice. Susie is lovely.

I love it. Really cute. Susie as a baby/ toddler is adorable. Suze as a teenager works, and Susannah with the h is classic and balanced

Oh I love it!

My niece is 32, she's called Susan but hates it and we all looked askance when my DSis announced her name. She's been Susi for ever. Suzanne or Suzannah are more commonplace now than Susan.

I like it. Suzie feels like it firs well with modern names too.

I love Susannah. Susie isn't my thing, but it's fine.

It's quite cute actually. Suzannah - or Susannah, with it shortened to Suzie yeah...

Awful, so dated and an old unfashionable name.

It’s beautiful. I’ve always loved Susanna (spelled that way like the song), my best friend at primary school was a Suzie (80’s).

I used to go to school with a girl called Suzy (spelt like that) and I always thought it was such a pretty name.

Absolutely lovely name. And unusual for a baby now - won’t be lots of others!

Susie is lovely! I prefer the spelling Susannah. I also like Sanna as a shortened version too.

I like it, you’ll be ahead of the mid century revival

I love Susannah too. I prefer it with an h which is the usual spelling in the Uk so it will also be easier.

Everyone would have that that about Edith 15 years ago. Names come around

Lovely

I prefer the eastern european Zusa. Think it was one of the children's names in its a wonderful life too 😊

Lovely - Susie is a cute retro nickname for the classic, timeless and sadly underused Susanna imo. She can always choose to go by something trendier (Suki?) if she wants to when older.

Personally I prefer the simpler, more elegant/streamlined spelling -afaik it was the original Biblical/Hebrew one (I have no idea where the added H came from, maybe to make it look like Hannah?) and the Susanna spelling was good enough for Shakespeare after all …

ETA: Just goes to show how people can view names differently 🤣 I personally don’t understand how people can call Susanna dated or old- fashioned when it’s never been popular enough for that (afaik it’s never even made the Top 100 historically). I can only assume they are thinking of Suzanne which was a fairly popular mid-century name in the UK (part of the French fad - see Jacqueline, Yvonne etc) and obviously Susan was incredibly popular as well. Susanna is much more timeless. Equally in the last few years the number of Susanna’s vs Susannah’s has been virtually interchangeable (as the numbers are quite low), so I don’t really think you can say that there is a more popular spelling at the moment.

I really don't like it

Some eighties names just aren't due a comeback.

I've always loved the name Susie and it fits well with all the Evie's/Edie's etc round now. And Susannah is beautiful.

It’s a lovely name, I like the older style names that end in ‘ie’, Susie, Josie, Joanie, etc.

"Oooh Su-sann-a! Oh don't you cry for me./
For I come from Al-a-bam-a with/
A banjo on my knee."
