WDYT? This name has been on my mind today for a future daughter. I like the name, but I think the question of nicknames deterred me from putting it on my shortlist in the past. I am not a fan of "
Sue." Also, it's similar to other names I like, such as
Seraphina and
Sabrina, but today this one's winning out.
Today I decided that the best nicknames I like for
Susannah are Suki and
Zan (although
Zan feels more grown up). My best friend goes by Suki, but I wouldn't mind honoring her. (She is Moroccan and it is short for a longer Arabic name.) Plus it would honor my aunt, who is named
Susan "
Sue."
Weirdly, I used to think this name sounded so silly, due to the song, "Oh,
Susanna," but it increasingly grew on me. For whatever reason, I seem to have a weakness for biblical names.
The name seems to be an uncommon classic, so I'm curious, what are your impressions of
Susannah?
What do you think of the combo
Susannah Lucy Tamar? I figured it would be nice to have a usable middle such as
Lucy, in case my best friend for instance felt strange calling her by her own name. Feel free to suggest other middles.
