Help[Opinions] Re: Helen or Susan?
in reply to a message by Uilos
I feel the exact opposite. I find Helen to be a "classic" name, with Helen of Troy in ancient Greece, etc., whereas Susan seems "dated."
According to this website, Helen was very popular in the early 1900s as well as being a VERY old name, whereas Susan peaked between 1940s-60s, which is why there are so many older-middle-aged Susans around. Not that there's anything wrong with that if you like it.
I like Helena as a variation of Helen, especially if it's pronounced HEL-en-uh. I don't care for Sue, Suzanne, Susannah, etc.
