Soo-vee

---

We considered it briefly for our DD. I'm not over keen on the sound of it, especially with our S sounding surname, but like the meaning. I don't think it's that weird to use in America, but you'd probably spend a lot of time correcting people who think you're saying Susie.

No more weird than plenty of other names! Probably inconvenient, though - I can imagine most people assuming it was Susie and having to be corrected. It also makes me think of a nn for an SUV.

I love Suvi! I pronounce it like sue-vee. I don't think it would be weird at all to use as an American because its not that out there. You've got Suzie and Suri that are similar, so I think it will be unique but not out of place. I also love that it means summer

I would say Soo-vee, and yes, frankly, it does seem weird on an American. In fact, soovy is what my husband has always called SUV's, or sport-utility vehicles. He says he picked up the name from somebody else.
