Suzanne is my name, I'm almost 20 and I love my name. So many nicknames can be derived from it. Susie, Sue, Susie Q, Mustang Susie. The best part about it is that I don't personally know anyone else with my name.
Suzanne is a very good name, because although it's not overly popular, people will still recognize it and not mispronounce it or misspell it. It's also fits both young girls, as Suzy, and adults, as Suzanne. And it sounds smart, pretty, and sophisticated.
This is my mother's name, and I've always thought it was beautiful. She recently died, and when asked a few weeks before what flowers she would like at her service, she said "lily of the valley." It was only afterwards that I found a card at a religious bookstore with the name "Suzanne" and "Lily of the Valley" as its meaning. She will have a bouquet of these lovely flowers at her memorial service. She also went by Suzy, Suzie, Sue.
Suzanne Valadon (September 23, 1865 – April 7, 1938) was a French painter who worked first as an artist's model, before becoming a noted painter herself.
One of my closest friends is called Suzanne, I generally call her Suzi but I know 2 Suzis so it gets a bit confusing and I find myself shortening both their names and then the other. I have yet to find a codename that fits. Anyways, Suzanne as a name is okay. I probably wouldn't choose it for my own child. Well I don't believe you should name a child before it's born but after so you can see if the name fits. But on another this name is good, with all of the nicknames you get from it.

This is my name and I like it. The only bad thing about it is the nicknames. I can't stand Sue, Suzie, or Susan. The only nickname associated that I don't mind is Suze.
Suzanne is my name. As an elementary schooler, I was called Suzanne. Through middle and high schools, I was called Sue. Now as a (quasi)adult, I prefer Suzanne again. I HATE being called "Susan"; it's not my name, never has been, never will be. I like my name!
This is my middle name. Although I'm supposed to be named after my aunt, Susan. But wow. I always thought it was kinda plain, but then as I got older, I started to love it and I wanted people to call me by this name. But I guess there isn't enough room in my family for two "Susie's". Lol
Sounds smart and busy, with strong emotional views. Slightly abandoned from the rest of the 'Susan' family, as if it was forced to develop its own life.
My name is Suzanne but I have never come across anyone my age named this. Today still in France, Suzanne is more often used than in England. I feel my name is kind of plain but WAY better than Susan! When I heard the manager of 'The Jackson 5' was called Suzanne De Passe, I felt so proud sharing my name with the person who managed the greatest and my most favourite band ever!

Took a while to grow on me, I like it now. I don't like any of the nicknames though.
My mother's name. It really is a lovely and underrated name, strange in that it's both a decidedly French and quintessentially American name. Easily one of my all-time favorite names.
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."
