I love the name and have for years. I prefer the spelling Shoshana though. I also don't understand why people aren't so fond of it. I love Edith, Miriam and Rosemary as mns, they are all gorgeous names and work very well with Shoshana.

Shoundsh azh if she'zh shomewhat tipshy ... not to mention a native speaker of Hebrew. It is pretty, but I far prefer Susannah, Suzanne and even Suzette.

Don't like the names it's paired w/ on the list, but I do like Shoshannah. She may well be taken for Jewish by many because of her name, but that's fine... I get taken Jewish by some based on name and appearance. I think it's kinda cool. Some people just aren't used to it if they haven't spent much time around Jewish circles (or if they have, they may consider it kinda plain or normal like Susan... though I think Shoshannah is far nicer than Susan).

Other ideas. Hmmmm... Pair these on whichever side you think they fit better since in some cases Shoshannah may work better as a mn.

I like it just fine, but to me it seems too foreign and inaccessible, maybe a bit pretentious, so I'd never use it. I like Susannah more anyway, so I'd definitely use that instead.

---

And, come to think of it, I don't think I like the two SH sounds so close together.

I love it.

---

I used to dislike it, but it grew on me. It's just a gorgeous name, and it has history. I like that.

---

It's funny how you see it in red, because I see it in midnight blue.

---

I love Shoshannah Maren and Shoshannah Miriam.

I love Shoshannah and I keep suggesting it in combos here, but not many people seem to like it. I generally like Hebrew names with ch and sh in them.

---

From your combos I like:
Shoshannah Maren
Shoshannah Marian

How about:

I can't say I love Shoshannah because of the repeated 'sh' sound, however, it is fun to look at and the nn Shoshie is kind of cute. I like this spelling best.

---

Of your combos, I really like Shoshannah Miriam and Shoshannah Rosemary.

I love it. It reminds me of the beautiful Mélanie Laurent as Shoshannah in Inglorious Basterds. I really like Shoshannah Rosemary.

---

Here are a few others:
Shoshannah Adele
Shoshannah Maëlys
Shoshannah Tamsin
Shoshannah Ivy
Shoshannah Cecily
Shoshannah Vivienne
Shoshannah Lavender
Shoshannah Beatrix
Shoshannah Odette
Shoshannah Elaine

I personally don't like it.
It just is too much for my taste-too long, too many of the same sounds.

I love Shoshannah.

Shoshannah Alice / Alys
Shoshannah Amy
Shoshannah Eden
Shoshannah Eve
Shoshannah Faye

Shoshannah Ruby
Shoshannah Thomasine
Shoshannah Vivian / Vivienne
Shoshannah Zoe

Susannah is much more appealing to me, but the sound of Shoshannah is whispering, both delicate and a little sensual. It's nice to hear, and I like it in theory, but it doesn't appeal to me visually and would be absolutely terrible should your daughter develop a speech impediment.

---

I like Shoshannah Miriam and Shoshannah Rosemary.

---

Shoshannah Isabelle
Shoshannah Margaret
Shoshannah Meadow
Shoshannah Zenith
Shoshannah Tempest
Shoshannah Eleanor
Shoshannah Noor

I strongly dislike that spelling because I find it too complicated and that is why I would rate it low. However, I would rate Susannah higher. This is the spelling I like the most (even though I'm most used to Susanna, the Swedish spelling). I used to dislike it because Susanna is a rather common name among women here and that maked it boring and "dated" (as for using it for a child).

---

Susannah Rosemary would be really nice.

I love Shoshannah "Shoshie"! I don't know why I haven't added it to my list. Combos:
Shoshannah Eloise (Eloise has been my go-to middle name lately)
Shoshannah Joan
Shoshannah Spring*
Shoshannah Felicity
Shoshannah Opal*
Shoshannah Eve*
Shoshannah Day*
Shoshannah Uma
Shoshannah Gayle*
