I think it is dated and ugly.

Refreshing...
...Susannah's all over the name boards nowadays, but Susan has a crisper sound which appeals to me more. Although Susan and Sue are dated, I love Suzy as a nickname, or even Sukie, an old Susan nickname. As long as you don't use Sue as a nickname, the dated-ness shouldn't be too bad; I know a million middle-aged Susans, and every one of them goes exclusively by Sue, never Susan. Susan on its own makes me think of a young girl in the 40s or 50s with her hair in a perky ponytail, a "bobby-soxer".

Prefer Susannah, but Susan is lovely too.

Beautiful name
Susan is a sweet yet dignified timeless classic in my eyes and I am expecting this name to come back into fashion here in England within the next ten years.

Love it.
My great-grandmother's name was Susan Catherine (called Susie); she's for whom I'm named. My other great-grandmother was Laura Emma (called Emer), and in the back of my mind, I really feel if I ever had two daughters, their names would be Susan Catherine and Laura Emma.

I like it but would use Susanna or Susannah instead because I think the fuller version is closer to the root and also looks jazzier. Sukey would be my nn choice.

A timeless classic, I like it!

I want to like it, but to be honest all I think of is a burned out woman in her late 40's or early 50's. It's just too dated for me right now. Susanna, though, is one of my favourite names, and I don't think it's dated at all, nor does it give me that "frumpy" feel.

Just lovely.
It's always appealed to me--Susan was my favourite in The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe when I was little, and so I have a huge soft spot for it.
I also love Suzannah, Suzanne, and other variants. But Susan is really nice and unassuming. Quietly graceful.

Very pretty. Well-known, not currently popular, ages well, easy to spell and pronounce, unmistakably female, a couple of nns to choose from but fine on its own.
