Help[Opinions] Re: Susan and Suzanne
in reply to a message by Amandine
I don't think either are likely to come back soon. There's a trend towards Latinate version - so Susanna rather than Susan/Suzanne. I'm not terribly fond of either and I really dislike both Susie and Suzie - they just feel... sordid? No clue why. Even Sukie is preferable (though it is a homonym for "bitches" in my native language). But neither Susan nor Suzanne are bad. I like how sensible Susan sounds. I just finished reading Fingersmith, where it's the name of a naïve thief. Suzanne feels more 70s chic, like Simone and Michelle. I love the connection with the Leonard Cohen song. Suzanne has been *slowly* rising in France and Belgium again - perhaps the trend will continue?
