You know, there's something about names from folk songs that are a fascinating mix of annoying and wonderful. Susannah, Matilda, John Jacob, Jericho, Liza Jane, Clementine, Irene, Lou, Daisy.... they stick with you. They do grow on you. They become nostalgic and warmly whimsical as one ages, I think.

I don't think you have to worry about Sue. It's such an old fashioned nickname nowadays that it's practically obsolete. I went to school with a Susanna and she was always just Susanna. I'd call a Susannah Zsa Zsa ;) I like Suki and Sukie a lot too, they have pizzazz.

Susannah Lucy Tamar is really pretty. Tamar doesn't get enough love!
