Re: Susan
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
I think Susan is a sweetheart of a name. It's pretty and pleasant and I can picture someone of any age or description having it.
It does remind me of the 50s straight away but not in a negative way. I genuinely like a lot of the names that were most popular during that decade. Maybe it's because they remind me of my mother, aunts, and similar women; they have a familiar and comfortable sound that I enjoy rather than am put off by.
I've met plenty of happily named Susans, Carols, Cynthias, Patricias, Marys, Lindas, and once a Judith in their early twenties. I'd say Susan is still up for circulation. :-)
