[Opinions] Re: Helen or Susan?
in reply to a message by Uilos
My favorite name between Susan and Helen is easily Susan.
I think Susan with the nn Susie is cute. Susan sounds mature but also is a nice sunny name that is feminine without being frilly. Susan makes me think of Black-eyed Susan daisies and has a fun retro flair to it. Susie is super cute and doesn't need to keep being used when the child is older. The nn Susie also reminds me of the band Siouxsie and the Banshees. I don't prefer any Susan variants but I do like Suzette and Suzanne. I like that Suzette reminds me of Lake Ozette in WA.
Helen has always sounded stuffy to me, like the name of a very severe old librarian. Also Helen of Troy was actually Helene, much prettier name in my opinion. I prefer all of the Helen variants although my favorite's are; Helene, Helena, Elena, Elaina, Elaine, and Eleni. My favorite is Elena or Elaina, both of which I prefer over Susan.

Favorite Names:
Frieda, Leona, Artemis, Althea, Dorothea, Josephine, Willemina, Francesca, Thalia, Hazel, Sabrina, Aurora, Andromeda, Luna, Vivian, Fiona, Rosa
Cassidy, Rowan, Adrian, Magnus, Merrick, Rainier, Julius, Quinton, Robin, Cedric, Malcolm, Tristan, Arthur, Ciaran, Gavin, Hadrian, Avery
