Re: My mother's name is Susan, what are your thoughts on the forms Susanna, Susannah, Suzana, Suzanna, Etc?
Susannah is a family name and I would have considered using it, given enough daughters. But I would have been more likely to tweak it to
Suzanne, which is lighter and livelier. I prefer
Susannah to
Susanna - it looks more finished. And
Suzanna ... falls between two stools.
Suzanne Eleanor Louise is very distinguished!
My nephew has a sister-in-law named
Suellen. Full name. And this is South
Africa! I'm afraid she might have been named after the character in, I think it was,
Dallas.
