I adore and would use it. It's also my bff's name.

I like all the Sue names, but Susannah and Suzette top the list. Then Suzanne, and finally Susan itself, in spite of Death's remarkable granddaughter.Susan was way too popular, and there are still too many of them around. Suzanne is pretty but, in general, I don't like spondees. Suzette has a lot of positive energy and cheerfulness. Susannah (a family name on DH;s side) has a long, long history and still retains its charm; all the Sue, Susie and Zan nns are OK though I do prefer the full form. I once invented Susianne as a GP, and actually I think it could work IRL - Marianne does! One of the worst things I've ever seen, names-wise, is Suseth, pronounced Suzette and a merger between Susan and Elizabeth (with the Afrikaans-Dutch-German pronunciation).

I like it, though I prefer it spelled Susanna or Suzanna. In any case it's much better than Susan.

Beautiful, love it. Susannah is strong and classic. Everyone's familiar with it yet it's not that common. I prefer the Susanna spelling, however, the name's a winner with either spelling.

It's a traditional name. I personally have never liked it, but I also have never disliked it. In general the name Susannah reminds me of a southern belle. I feel like anyone with this name is kind hearted and has a quiet elegance about them.

I've always had a sweet spot for Susannah. I just think it sounds nice, it looks nice when written. I would love to see this name used more often.

I love it! I imagine some Susannahs get the song "Oh Susannah, don't you cry for me" sung to them, perhaps. But I like Susannah and Suzanne so much.

I really like it, though some think it too religious/outdated.
