Re: WDYT of Susannah?
in reply to a message by Aine
I don't care for Susannah but a lot of other people seem to like it.
You would know better than I would if it's a problem that your cousin's daughter is named Susannah. Do you see her often? Are you two close? Do you think she would mind? I have a large family and I only see most of my cousins' children once, maybe twice, a year so it wouldn't be a problem. Lots of my second cousins have duplicate names. But that doesn't mean that your family has the same dynamic as mine.
I don't like the nn Susie unless it's on a child younger than five. Anna is nice.

I don't see her often anymore as she lives in Perth, but we are close. I don't think she would mind, or at least if she did, I don't think she would say so. We are a really close family and we usually never have duplicate names in the same generation, but duplicate names in different generations (such as Catherine- there are 5 of them in our family at the moment, but none are close to age, bar the two who married into the family.
I am leaning towards Anna or Sanna at the moment
