I consider it a kind of combination of classic and 50's dated. I'm not sure if it's quite ready for a comback yet. I kind of put it in a limbo category with other "wartime sensible chic" names like
Barbara,
Martha,
Deborah,
Helen,
Judith,
Dorothy,
Joan - stuff that is not quiiite yet in the "cool retro" category. Maybe in like ten years?
Susie is iconically old fashioned enough that I think it could catch on in an ironic way. I could see a very posh, professional couple liking
Susan for it's no-nonsense intelligence and
Susie for its quaint simplicity.
Suellen reminds me of pigs. Like, a lot. I don't know why. Maybe the "
Sue-" beginning remind me of the "sooo-eeee" call for pigs?
I'd have to say
Susannah is my favourite that you have there, though I know it's maybe a bit overly precious. My absolute favourite,
Suzette, was not listed. I just love the saucy poodle-puff of
Suzette. I love that -zette part!
