Is it stretching things a bit...

[CheerfulYank]

to use Annie as a nn for Susannah? And what are people's thoughts on Susannah?

Like Susannah. and think Annie fine as nn. I know a Hannah nn Annie.

Love susannah1

could use annie as nickname, but Susannah much nicer.

Susannah is a lovely name. I only found out recently it is a biblical name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Susanna

I like Annie and Susie and Anna and Susannah - all round great name.

no it works fine i think

lovely name - NN really nice too.
And prefer Susannah with the H...

I love Susannah, Annie a fine nickname too.

no, works for me

lovely names

I like Susannah.

People on here seem hung upon nicknames/shortenings though.

I used to call my daughter Poppet-so her nickname is now Poppy/Pops.

Nothing to do with her name!

I'm asking b/c I really love Annie but have a cousin who's Anne so I didn't want to go that route. Also have a best friend, Joanna, who's called Annie sometimes. My MIL is Suzanne and at some point I'd like to call a daughter after her but I prefer Susannah. Thanks for the input-can always count on Mumsnet!

Lovely name, was tempted to use it myself for dd2. Love the nn Annie, Suki and Suzi.

susannah is an amazing name....prefer suki as nn....

Oh, Suki is very cute. Hadn't thought of that.

I love Susannah. It is my DDs second name. The only thing that concerned me was that she might get called sue. Love Susie though!

Love Annie and Susannah so it all sounds good to me

Most people won't link Susannah to Annie. If you love Annie why not go for that, I don't think of Anne and Annie being the same at all (Anne sounds boring, Annie sounds much more full of life!) but if your cousin makes a link she'll be flattered so you can't lose really.
