A sweet little frump of a name. I wish I liked it more, but it just doesn't Go for me. Suzanne does, though - more than Susannah. Did you know Leonard Cohen wrote that gorgeous song Suzanne before he met the Suzanne who would mother his children?

---

Suzette's fun. I'm a little turned off in theory because it's frivolous. But I think I'd like it in practice.

---

I don't like Susie or Sue except as occasional nicknames for my sweet Susan and Susannah friends.

My order of preference would be:
Suzanne (RIP Leonard Cohen!)
Susannah
Suzette
Susan

---

I'd be most likely to use Susannah for family reasons, and then only as a mn.

I find this name to be beautiful, elegant, & even sexy, and I consider Suzanne similarly, although these names are not the same; I would also consider Suzanna a different name - as Anna is to Anne (Ann). If I were named Susan I would dislike being called Sue, although when I amended the legal spelling of my name from Barbara to Barbra, I considered hyphenating it to Barbra-Sue, but the idea of being called just Sue dissuaded me. I would prefer the pronunciation of Suzie before Susie; yet if I were named Susan or Suzanne, I'd do my utmost to limit those who call me Suzie to a select few. I consider the concept of "dated" as one of analysis--even if merely through casual reflection, and would therefore offer such a consideration little relevance as to my preference.

Susan is nice enough. I've just known so many (older, my age, younger) that the name feels quite dated to me. OTOH, I adore Susanna and the nn Susie.

---

Susan or Susannah? Susannah
Susanna or Susannah? Susanna
Sue: hate it
Susie: adorable
Suzette: not a fan; very precious
Suzanne: just okay, better than Suzette

I do rather like Susan but I don't care much for any of the variations or diminutives. Well, Susannah isn't bad, but I like Susan much better. Sue is alright when it's not on a person (though I do know people called Sue, I guess you get used to it.)

Personally I really like Susan, not a favourite but pretty close. Never really thought of it as dated.

---

Prefer Susan over Susannah
Prefer the spelling Susanna

---

Sue is a more mature nickname for Susan or just a good name by itself

---

I like Susie as a nickname

---

Dislike Suzette and Suzanne is ok

Hi !!!

---

I like its flowery meaning too!! Lotus, lily and finally rose from Egyptian to Hebrew ...from the most ancient era to the contemporary world. I love its long history.

---

I like more Susie than Maddie so I think that it will grow. But I prefer other NNs.

---

But I dislike 'Susan'. I prefer Susanna (more familiar for me). But I also love Shoshannah ...it is beautiful !!!

---

Susan, Susannah, Susanna, Suzanne or (I suggest) Shoshannah?

---

Well...
Shoshannah is the best!
But I'm sad to say that it will be a GP because it is too much if you live in Italy.

---

So my choise will be Susanna.

---

My third favourite is Suzette... it is lovely!!!

---

NNs... Sanna!!! Fantastic !!!!!

---

Byeeeeeee
