[Opinions] Iscah, Keziah and Susannah
What do you think? I've been looking at some underused Biblical names and these stood out to me (I can't believe Susannah isn't in the US top 1000!). Do you love them/hate them/not care either way? And since I'm the kind of person who loves nicknames, which ones would you use for them?
Thanks!

I often wonder why Susannah/Susanna aren't more popular. It's a well known, recognizable name. It has the -Anna element which is always popular. I really like it. I think I'd use Anna as a nn.
Keziah is not very appealing to me. I don't like the Kez sound.
Iscah is pretty cool actually, but I don't know how usable it would be in everyday life.

Iscah: sounds like a sneeze. I understand Jessica is derived from it, and I love Jessica. I would not use a nickname for Jessica.Keziah: It's got kind of a pretty sound. You might use the nn Kizzy. I would just use the full name.Susannah is pretty. I like Suzannah and Suzanne better. I guess I like Sue best for a nn, but again, I'd rather just use the full name.

I actually love them all! I know a little Susannah, but she thinks her name is weird and everyone calls her Savannah. Dinah is my favorite biblical name, though.

I like Susannah a lot. I can't believe it either, it's so appealing. Maybe it's too long and people don't like the nickname Susie. I like Keziah. Iscah sounds choppy and not very melodic. I prefer Jessica or Jessie.
