[Opinions] Susan
What do you think of the name Susan? A woman I used to work with said she had a sister named Susan Faye and I thought that was a beautiful combo!

I used to know too many of them. Susan to me is a beige blur. And in Afrikaans (and I think Dutch) the emphasis falls on the last syllable so it's sooSUN. Not good.Susannah and Suzanne, now, that's different!

Susan Faye is pretty. (: I love Susan and Susannah; it reminds me of Susan from the Chronicles of Narnia, often enough. I think it is classic yet still retains it's beauty.

Susan is okay, but it's always seemed slightly truncated to me. I'm a big fan of Susannah, though--maybe this is why Susan strikes me as incomplete.

Susan, as a name, was very tired when I was growing up. Every fifth girl in school was a Susan or a Susie.But now I kind of miss it. It has a no-nonsense, simpler times feeling to it that is very appealing.My current combo for it is Rebecca Susan / Susan Rebecca.

I think Susan is pretty. I think it's a bit dated as of now and Susannah is a little better. I think of Susan Pevensie in the Narnia movies/books.

I like Susan. I think it is a classic, not passe like some would suggest. It was used in Shakespeare, so I consider it a classic. I would be more inclined to use Susannah myself.
