Help[Opinions] Middle name for Susannah
Originally we were searching for a unique nature/floral first name to go along with Sue as a middle name (Sue is sentimental). After struggling to find one of our unique choices that would be widely accepted and appreciated, we think we've decided on Susannah as a first name. We've received positive feedback and have grown to like it very much! While still honoring a family member who's name was Susan, we would now have the opportunity to use one of our previous favorite first names as a middle name.
We still feel very strong about having a unique nature/floral aspect to her full given name! So our current name choice, for many meaningful reasons (not just how it sounds) is:
Susannah Blossom Mona
"My little blossom!" What do you think?
UPDATE: Mona is the last name

I always have a soft spot for Susannah. It's funny, because I find Susan so stiff and stuffy, but Susannah is gorgeous. It's got such warm, melting yellow sound.
And I think Susannah Blossom could be perfect. Blossom I wouldn't like as a first name, and as I middle it needs to be careful because it can sound really silly (eg. Felicity Blossom) but I'm actually loving it paired with Susannah. I'd say use this one (:
Other suggestions, though, just in case. (I'm avoiding -a names because of the ends of Susannah and Mona.)
Susannah Ashling
Susannah Willow
Susannah Rowan
Susannah Laurel
Susannah Lark
Susannah Linnet
Susannah Camille
Susannah Jasmine
Susannah Posy
Susannah Tansy
That's all I can think of, really. Still liking Susannah Blossom most.

Thank you "Joiya" for your response and input! I should have clarified that Mona is the last name, but I think everything you said would still apply. Thanks again:)

I happen to really like Blossom. It's on my GP list, but only because my husband is not a fan. I would use it in a heartbeat.
I also happen to like Mona. I think it is one of those short and sweet antique charmers. Plus, it sounds lovely with Blossom.
If Susannah, Blossom and Mona all have meaning to you - and you and your partner like/love it, I say you found a winner!
The overall feel is quite feminine and fresh, but there is nothing common or trendy about the name at all. I am a fan.
The flow is a bit off for me, but that is because I have particular preferences when it comes to syllables and such. As a whole, it works and is unexpectedly quirky and fun. Good job.
