I like Susan a lot too. I wouldn't call it a classic, but it's a solidly historical name. It had five decades of intense use here though, so I don't see it coming back for a long while yet.

Sue: my sister has always hated it so much that it's rubbed off on me a bit
Suellen: looks lumpy, & like it ought to be pronounced Swellen
Susannah: my sister's name (sans h)- it's all right, bit frilly for me
Susan: my favourite
Susie: not a fan
Suzanne: second favourite. I have lots of medieval ancestors called this & its use seems to have been more consistent than Susan - it's definitely more classic. I also like its archaic diminutives Suzon & Suzette
