I like Susie but not Susan

I like Suzie/Suzy, but not Susie. Susan itself is as boring as a box of hair.

Susan is okay but dated of course. I far prefer Susannah. However, I'd avoid either because of Susie, TBH.

It's nice enough, but a bit plain. I like Suzanne better. Sue is a nice nickname, but Susie is a bit cutesy, and I've also known a few different people who used it as a euphemism for female private parts, or Suzie-Q. (It would definitely be a bad idea to have two kids named Susie and Willie!()

I find this name and all variants to be eloquent & sophisticated. I love the elegance of the formal name together with the informal playfulness of "Suzie" - or any other spelling variations.

I think the world is not yet ready for another crop of Susan people. Suzanne, Suzette or, as a mn, Susannah - fine. Susie - fine. But not Susan, and preferably not the relentlessly perky Sue either.

I invented, or I think I did, Susianne as a GP variant. It would give me huge pleasure if someone, somewhere, ever used it.

I love Susie, or even better Suzie, but I'm not a fan of Susan. I'd go with Suzanne, Suzanna or Susannah instead.

I think when Thomas Beatie had his daughter (2008) and named her Susan, I was into it. But now I work with one (who goes by Suzi) who is the woooorst (or do I? We think she sneakquit today but we won't even know until Monday! So weird!)

I think I'd be into seeing a little Susan, but I prefer Susannah currently. I think it will definitely come back when it's time is right (2030s, if the 80 year rule is to be believed).

I like Susanna and Suzie but I'm not a fan of Susan or Sue. They seem more dated.
