I'd rate
Susannah a 9 (and
Susanna a 10). I'm mad about it. I agree with your assessment of
Susan (plain, abrupt) and
Suzanne (incomplete) and I cannot stand
Sue. I do like
Susie and Susu /
Suzu / Zuzu although I think that kind of nn should be reserved for family. It might be too precious, huh? Sannah /
Sanna is kind of nice as well but with an English (or American English) accent, it does remind me of
Santa. Other nns could be
Anna and
Annie.
The thing is, I've never known a
Susannah to give an impression of what she'd be like so I'd have to go by the image the name evokes: sweet, spunky, old fashioned, clever, witty.
