Suzanne

Suzanne means lily.

The name is French from the Hebrew name and means Lily. This is my name and I love it. I was named by my father after a Suzanne who went by the nickname Zanne. He wanted me to have a sophisticated name and I agree that it is sophisticated. While I love my name, I positively detest being called Susan. It is not my name and is not an acceptable pronunciation of the name. Anyone who knows English should know that two consonants together change the pronunciation of the vowel that precedes it. We learn that by second grade. I can't believe the number of people since the 1990's who can't pronounce such a simple name. I doubt very highly they would pronounce Anne as "un."
