Soekie is a routine nn for Susan, Susannah etc in Afrikaans; with a short vowel as in book or look. So that's what I automatically expect and say.Personally I prefer Sue or Susie.

I can't stand them, sorry. They sound like a bad word in my first language.

I don't pronounced Sookie and Suki the same.Suki is okay but Sookie makes me think of "Jersey Shore".

I like them actually. Yes, it might be similar to the word "sook" but it doesn't bother me.

Very juvenile and like Amphelise said reminds me of the word sook.

Does your family also say something like "being a sookie-la-la" when someone is being melodramatic?

No, not my immediate family. But I’ve heard others say it.

Suki / Sukey / Sukie are all fine as a nickname for Susan.I can’t stand the Sookie spelling because it looks like it should have a shorter vowel (oo as in book rather than oo as in pool), and with that shorter vowel the word “sook” means “sulk” or “person who is sulking” in my dialect.
