I have always loved the name Shoshana, with this spelling. I remember discovering the name as a child and thinking it was lovely.

Probably her parents were very religious. Shoshannah is way too biblical for me, even Shoshana.

I like Shoshana the same way I like Rivka. I slightly prefer the sound/look of them to Susanna / Rebecca, and I'd be more likely to assume they were Jewish.

Also, Shoshana reminds me of the character from Inglorious Basterds.

I prefer the more streamlined spelling. The extra H makes it look kinda like "shush Hannah" to me.

I prefer their cousin Susanna over them because it's less fussy.
Out of these two, I like Shoshana better. It's more simple; Shoshannah looks a bit overdone. Shoshana is a pretty name. I imagine a Shoshana would be an outgoing young woman with brown curls and a positive, sunny attitude.

I love Shoshana. I like both spellings but I guess the simplicity of Shoshana appeals to me a little bit more.

My impression is of a young Jewish girl who lives in New York City (I guess my impression is based on the show Girls which I've never even really watched?).

---

I'd be hesitant to use Shoshana because I'm not Jewish, but I really like the name.

Hi !!!

---

I love this name!!
I also love the variant Susanna.

---

Between these two I prefer Shoshana. It seems more usable while Shoshannah seems too heavy.

I love Hebrew Names and Shoshana is simply beautiful!!
