Comments for the name Sue

Famous bearer is actress Sue Lyon.

This was the surname of French writer Eugene Sue, who wrote The Mysteries of Paris.

Johnny Cash sang a song called "A Boy Named Sue."

This is also a shortened form of the infamous literary plot device called "Mary-Sue". A Mary Sue is the character who appears out of nowhere, but instantly fits in with the characters already existing and has "special" powers.

Ugly name!

Sue is also a Japanese name, with the average approximate translation being 'season', 'seasonal'. Different pronunciation, of course. The name of my cousin is Sueka - written with the kanji for 'Seasonal bell'. Very unusual, but I think very pretty ^_^ A more typical kanji for Sueka would be that for 'seasonal bloom'.

My middle name is Sue - how boring can you get? How many other females in the mid-70's have the middle name Sue? Only about a billion!

Sue Ellen Ewing was a character on the '80's show "Dallas." She was portrayed by Linda Gray.

There is an author named Sue Grafton.

Too common. No.

Has also been a male name at times. I say it is a male name too.

No, it's not a male name. That's the whole point of "A Boy Named Sue".

Sue is also the English spelling of the Hmong name Xws (yes that is the correct spelling) and it means "girly".

Sue is most often an abbreviated form of Susan.

There was a male attorney named Sue K. Hicks, named after his mother who died in childbirth. Shel Silverstein wrote a poem called "A Boy Named Sue," and Johnny Cash performed it. I am not saying this should be used as a boy's name.

Makes me think of "Mary Sue".

This name is too common, and it makes me think of a bus-driver.

This name is too minimalist for my taste, and I much prefer Susanna, not so much Susan. This was the name of the super-awesome editor of the teletext service Spit It Out on MTV Europe and other European MTV teletext pages back in the day. She once write that the spelling of her name had a twist, so it must have been short for something like Suezan (just guessing).

When you file a lawsuit, you sue. Ridiculous as a name, isn't it?

Reminds me of Mary Sues and suing someone. Ugh.

Sue is a middle aged sort of name, and not many young people have it.

Sue Sylvester from Glee. She is freaking awesome. Nuff said.

Awww you guys are mean! This name is cute!

I'm 13 and this is my middle name. I hate it. It sounds country and ugly. I like my first name, but hate my middle name with a passion.

I was named after both my grandmothers (they were both named Sue) and my mom's middle name though, so the only good thing I can find about it is that it's a family name, and it's always cool to honor people.

Other than that I hate it and I'm embarrassed by it.

To me, Sue is a "filler" name. It's just there and doesn't really add anything to the overall impression of the person's full name.
