Susanna is my name. I like it fine. I've never had any mean comments, bullying or anything negative from it. I don't like the nicknames Sue and Susie and that is what people will 99.9% in English settings try to default to. A name beyond two syllables, you're always gonna be fighting to either use your preferred nn (like me) and/or stop unwanted nns. Don't get me started on Suze / Sooz etc. I haaaaate that.
I prefer Susannah. My parents chose Susanna because of our cultural backgrounds / they felt it was more multilingual, maybe they felt the 'h' redundant. But I flip-flop between preferring my version of the name and thinking the 'h' completes it... atm, I'm leaning towards feeling Susannah looks better than my version. Ask me in two weeks and I'll be back to preferring mine.
All in all I think it's a comfortable sounding name that's done me well, imho as a Susanna. Regardless of whether we're going for lily, rose, or lotus, the meaning is nice. It's a cute flower. It's neither super rare or comment-worthy or super common where I am, but it's familiar - people know the name, even if they don't know a Susanna. I was the only Susanna in school, am usually the only Susanna in the workplace, but I worked with several Susan/Suzannes and I'll occasionally come across people who know another Susanna(h), or even actually another Susanna(h), it's a nice balance of name frequency. It's not trendy but never been popular enough to become an overused classic (again, where I am). It works in a lot of languages. I honestly can't complain. Apart from the spelling thing (to h or not to h, one n or two), which is minor, and the abundance of nicknames I just don't like, which is less minor.

I love Susanna and Anne, but not together. Susanna Chloe would be lovely. Other trim options for the third name:
Susanna Chloe Iris
Susanna Chloe Maud
Susanna Chloe Pearl
Susanna Chloe Clare
Susanna Chloe Ruth
Susanna Chloe Alice
Susanna Chloe Elise
Susanna Chloe Fern
Susanna Chloe Liv
Susanna Chloe Ida
Susanna Chloe Iris
Susanna Chloe Maud
Susanna Chloe Pearl
Susanna Chloe Clare
Susanna Chloe Ruth
Susanna Chloe Alice
Susanna Chloe Elise
Susanna Chloe Fern
Susanna Chloe Liv
Susanna Chloe Ida
Susanna Chloe Iris is lovely, thank you.
Anne is lovely, but it echoes SusANNa. What about Susanna Chloe Jane? Susanna Chloe Joy? Susanna Chloe Ruth?
I can't believe I didn't notice the repeating ANN sound. It's so obvious now!
Susanna Chloe Jane is pretty, thank you.
Susanna Chloe Jane is pretty, thank you.
I absolutely adore Susanna! This combo is really nice but the “anna” and Anne together might be too repetitive. I would prefer just Susanna Chloe, does it really matter if the middle name rhymes with the last name? You almost never say the whole name anyway. But either way it’s very pretty ;)
Really pretty idea. The -anna + Anne is a little redundant, but it still works, I didn't notice the echo at first because Anne is such a quiet classic. Susanna is really a criminally underappreciated gem, and Chloe works very well as a middle name for it.
I think that Susanna Chloe would be fine as it is, though, if you're not sold on Anne, even with your -lee last name. For example, Susanna Chloe Lee honestly sounds perfectly ok, and the name wouldn't be pronounced in full all that often.
You could also go with another short name to separate the sounds, like:
Susanna Chloe Lynn
Susanna Chloe Belle
Susanna Chloe Jane
Susanna Chloe Tess
Susanna Chloe Brooke
Susanna Chloe Dawn
Susanna Chloe Fay
Susanna Chloe Faith
Susanna Chloe Gail
Susanna Chloe Jean
Susanna Chloe Lark
Susanna Chloe May
Susanna Chloe Paige
(just to throw some ideas at the wall!)
