What are your thoughts on the name Savannah?
I like it but I don't think I'd ever use it.
What sort of image does it give you?
It reminds me of a Savannah biome.
What age would a Savannah be to you (without looking it up)?
I feel like the average age would be someone in their early teens to late 20s.
Does it feel dated?
Not really. I can picture a baby Savannah.
Do you associate it with certain countries or states more than with others?
As an Australian, I reckon it sounds pretty American. But I can also picture someone with this name in the more rural parts of Australia.
Does it have a very modern feel to you or somewhat classic?
I think it sounds pretty modern.
Do you think it's possible to use it without it getting any nicknames such as Vanna, Anna, Savy or Annie?
Yeah. Though I would personally use a nickname as it is a pretty long name.

This is my sister’s name, except she spells it Savanna.
Obviously I can only think of her, despite knowing other girls named Savannah as well. She was born with fair skin, green eyes, and strawberry blonde hair. She’s bubbly, laidback, sort of air-headed but book-smart. An optimist. A fun person to be around.
It doesn’t feel dated to me. My sister was born in '98 but I know younger girls with the name. It was ranked #68 in 2021.
I associate it with the US.
It doesn’t feel particularly modern nor classic. Somewhere in the middle. It still feels somewhat obscure to me despite the popularity.
It is possible. My sister has always been Savanna, sometimes Sav or Savy by friends for fun but for the most part they still called her Savanna.

I love Savannah and would definitely consider using it. It feels modern and stylish, but not faddish. It's still fairly popular around here, and has been for some time. I'd assume a Savannah was probably under forty. I've never considered it as having a name with an immediately assumed nn; anybody can end up with a nn, but Savannah doesn't really have the same kind of nn inevitability that Kimberly, for instance, does.

I like it. Not enough to use on my own child but I like seeing it being used.
It gives me pleasant sunny/summer vibes, a cool girl.
Probably 20-25?
No, not 100% dated anyway. It could go either way, like 50/50, and I don’t even know why I think that.
It seems like an American name to me, no particular state associations because I don’t live there.
I classify it as a modern classic (like Sienna etc).
Personally I love Savvy as a nn, and I think Savannah is the kind of name that attracts nicknames.

Savannah sounds sort of Southern to me because of Savannah, GA I guess. I've never met a Savannah but I think I'd expect a white or mixed race gal. Middle class. Not necessarily a Southerner, that's just an association I have with the name. Nothing particularly negative about it.
In her 20s.
It doesn't seem dated - yet? since it hasn't been a huge top 20 fad. I don't think it seems "classic" like, say, Georgia, but neither is it entirely "modern" ... it's kinda like Samantha. It fits with the nature-name fashion, although by accident and it doesn't seem like a nature-name so much as a place-name. The -ah reminds me of Mariah and Sarah and Hannah ... makes it more classic-"looking."
I think if a Savannah didn't want to use nicknames it'd be easy to just refuse them, since there isn't one that people automatically expect. It'd be like with Elizabeth - you have to ask if she's Liz or Ellie or Beth, and if you're just told Elizabeth, you don't guess.
