I've always been a bit baffled when people say Susan sounds dated. When I first began seeing that I looked up its popularity and saw how popular it was back in the day, so I get it. But the only Susan I've ever met is my second cousin, who's my age. So to me it doesn't feel dated at all! It's very springy and cheerful. I like it.

I think Suzie and Sue are very avoidable. I can see it being an issue with Suzanne, but Susan isn't a nickname-lending name I don't think. My cousin Susan has always gone by just that.
