[Opinions] Middle name for Susannah
Originally we were searching for a unique nature/floral first name to go along with Sue as a middle name (Sue is sentimental). After struggling to find one of our unique choices that would be widely accepted and appreciated, we think we've decided on Susannah as a first name. We've received positive feedback and have grown to like it very much! While still honoring a family member who's name was Susan, we would now have the opportunity to use one of our previous favorite first names as a middle name. We still feel very strong about having a unique nature/floral aspect to her full given name! So our current name choice, for many meaningful reasons (not just how it sounds) is:Susannah Blossom Mona "My little blossom!" What do you think?UPDATE: Mona is the last name

I always have a soft spot for Susannah. It's funny, because I find Susan so stiff and stuffy, but Susannah is gorgeous. It's got such warm, melting yellow sound. And I think Susannah Blossom could be perfect. Blossom I wouldn't like as a first name, and as I middle it needs to be careful because it can sound really silly (eg. Felicity Blossom) but I'm actually loving it paired with Susannah. I'd say use this one (:Other suggestions, though, just in case. (I'm avoiding -a names because of the ends of Susannah and Mona.)Susannah Ashling
Susannah Willow
Susannah Rowan
Susannah Laurel
Susannah Lark
Susannah Linnet
Susannah Camille
Susannah Jasmine
Susannah Posy
Susannah TansyThat's all I can think of, really. Still liking Susannah Blossom most.

Thank you "Joiya" for your response and input! I should have clarified that Mona is the last name, but I think everything you said would still apply. Thanks again:)

I happen to really like Blossom. It's on my GP list, but only because my husband is not a fan. I would use it in a heartbeat. I also happen to like Mona. I think it is one of those short and sweet antique charmers. Plus, it sounds lovely with Blossom. If Susannah, Blossom and Mona all have meaning to you - and you and your partner like/love it, I say you found a winner!The overall feel is quite feminine and fresh, but there is nothing common or trendy about the name at all. I am a fan. The flow is a bit off for me, but that is because I have particular preferences when it comes to syllables and such. As a whole, it works and is unexpectedly quirky and fun. Good job.
