I really like
Susannah. It is my mama's name and I am biased. I would humor the idea of using the
Suzanna variant on a daughter to honor her but using
Zanna as a fun/more modern nickname than simple
Susie. *
Zanna would make less sense with the
Susannah spelling*
Jemima was actually a childhood friend's nickname I had given her in our group of friends that all gave each other biblical character nicknames (her real name was just
Carrie). She (biblical
Jemima) was one of the daughters of
Job and was said to be one of the most beautiful women in all the land. She gave me
Delilah... in retrospect in the grand scheme of things considering she ended up not being a good friend or person I should have seen that coming by her choice in name for me. Overtime I came to learn she would make fun of me behind my back and start rumors of me at school. In the present day
Jemima leaves the sour taste in my mouth because of that connection. Some names are ruined by people & this is one for me.
