Suzanne

I'm a Suzanne as well, not a "Susan". When people keep calling me Susan, as one of my bosses did for years, I just start calling them anything BUT their name. If someone named Mike keeps doing it, all of a sudden he's Mark. If Steve does it, he becomes Skip. Seriously, I am afraid for this country (USA), we keep defunding education and this is what happens.

I agree that pronouncing "Suzanne" as if it were spelled differently is an indication to me that someone is not very bright, cannot read, and won't be working for me. It's not hard. Suz. Anne. Suzanne. Susan may stem from my classic name, but it is rude to not make an effort to pronounce someone's name correctly. If unsure of how to pronounce someone's name, ask them how to pronounce it! You just might learn something. Which I know frightens many people.

My name is Suzanne and I always get called Susan! It annoys me to no end! As a kid I went by Sue it was just easier but when I got my first professional job I just kept it as Suzanne and I get compliments from people that can tell the difference between a Z and an S! Only my immediate family calls me Suzy or Doozer- who knows where that came from. My husband calls me Sue but I have known him since 3rd grade so when he sometimes calls me Suzanne it sounds crazy.

Pronounced suy-ZAHN-nə or suy-ZAHN in Dutch. My name is pronounced as suy-ZAHN-nə. I know a lot of other people with my name, pronounced as either of the pronunciations I named (all living in Holland).

French pronunciation is "See-zahn" (shortly).
