[Opinions] Re: Susan
in reply to a message by MariaNikolaievnaRomanova
Susan has a reputation for being boring, but when you look at the name stats for today, it's actually quite distinctive (ranks at 611 in the US), and is not at all as popular as it once was.
So if you are looking for something deceptively distinctive, then Susan is for you. There are a lot of adult Susans, but not many young girls named Susan.
It will come back, I'm sure. If you name your kid Susan, in the future she will be sort of like a 30 something today named Ella. She'll be ahead of her time, in a retro sense.
However, despite the stats, I still find the name quite boring personally.
But, as I mentioned in a recent post, Sukie, which is an old-fashioned nick name for Susan, is very cute.
