Re: Susan
in reply to a message by Caroline
I never thought of Susan as being dated. As a kid, the only two I knew were my sister and a girl the year behind me in school (all born late '70's, '81). One of my elementary school teachers was Sue, but I think that was her legal name. My sister has always been a Suzy. As an adult now, I know some Sue's that are a generation ahead of me.
If you introduce your child as the preferred nn, you might be able to avoid Sue/ Suzy. Zsazsa was the one that I used to bug my sister once I saw it was a form of Susan and bugged her. Sookie is also a possibility. (I was Jennyfer. When she was learning to talk it was cute. Now that she knows my name, not so much.)
