I think it's a pretty name. I see it as more trendy than classic especially considering it was pretty obscure as a given name for so many decades.

I wouldn't use it as a first name because it's too popular these days, but that doesn't keep me from liking it.

A family who lived near me had a daughter named Savannah. She was born either in the late 90's or early 2000's. She's the only Savannah I've met, but then again, I don't know many children. I've seen the name in BA's quite a bit, though.

The only Savannah I know is my step-nephew's little daughter. He's a game ranger here in South Africa, and he named her after the geographical region! And also because he liked the sound of the name.

Apart from that, I don't see it at all. It's not a name I'd choose, and I enjoy myself sometimes making up sibsets: Savannah, Sierra and Tundra, for instance.

I love this name! I only know one girl with it, and she is 15 years old. I don't think it's classic, as I think classic names have to be 'time tested' and around for a while and this is a relatively new name, so on that basis I would say trendy.
I don't think people would shorten it, but I like the nn Savvy. It's fairly common but not in the top 10 so it's not excessively common like Isabella

I like Savannah. I see her as a spunky outgoing Southern belle.
I used to work with someone whose daughter was a Savannah. She would be about 6-12.
I see it as a little more trendy just because it kind of follows the place name trend and it didn't used to be used that often.
I wouldn't shorten it. It doesn't have an obvious nickname to me.
I wouldn't say it is too common.

Ugh I never liked it. Sorry :(

Eh, not too common here.

I used to dislike Savannah too, but it grew on me a little after the Queen's grandson Peter used it on his daughter. I still don't care for it, though. It's kind of trendy.

I like it. I don't actually know any. I see it as somewhere in between. I do think people would want to shorten it though I find it hard to find a suitable nickname for. I know below everyone was talking about Savvy. I always looks at that the the double v looks like w. So instead of Savvy is looks like Sawy which is not good. Not a big fan of Savvy as a nickname anyway. Though someone did mention spelling it Savi which would be better. So the best nickname idea I have would be a form of Vannah/Vanna or Anna. Which I like a lot better especially Anna. I don't see it as common becuase, like I said, I don't know any.
