I love this name...

[mrsduryee.livejournal.com]

I included this name on my list in a detailed post a few weeks back, but it has since grown on me so much that I am becoming obsessed.

I love the name Susanna so much that I want to have a baby! (I can't be wanting a baby yet...my plan includes 3 more years of fun with hubby!)

I recently determined when it was most popular in the last 999 years and when it was least popular: Susanna was #336 in 1886 and #997 in 1927. Most recently, it was #986 in 1997.

This name brings up SUCH feelings of joy and happiness and excitement--I've never felt this way about a name before (and I have really loved some names)!


Susanna Christine
Susanna Eleanor
Susanna Elizabeth
Susanna Grace
Susanna Janine*
Susanna Joy*
Susanna Lei (prn Lay)
Susanna Louise*
Susanna Rose*
* = love

Soo...SURVEY!

People with children, how did you feel when you finally selected the name you selected? Do you know what made you feel that way?

People without children, am I crazy??

People without children, am I crazy??
Nope the boy and I had picked out our future kids names (well sons anyway, we can't agree on girls names so we'll probably have all girls) after we were going out for a few months. It's been 3 years now and the only name that has been stricken from the list is one that another family member used.
Also when we refer to the future we talk about "Little Eli and little Caleb"
I think it's safe to say I'm in love with the names Elijah, Caleb and Asher.

Susanna(h) is very nice, I have known 3 Suzanne's but no Susannas.
I like the combo Susanna Elizabeth and Susanna Grace the best.
Please don't use Susanna Rose, it's a little redundant, it's like naming her Lily Rose or even Rose Rose.

Well my name is Rose, so that's why I like it. My husband has a thing for this tradition, and wants our first son to be ____ Christopher (his name). I kind of like the redundancy, since Susanna means Lily... Lily Rose is pretty (liked it ever since Johnny Depps had a baby girl).

They aren't the same FLOWER, so it's not like Rose Rose, even if they have similar meanings.

I understand why you like it and I think Rose is a very nice name on it's own.

However, according to behindthename.com, The Complete Book of Hebrew Names and The New Jewish Baby Book, Susanna also means "rose", that's why I said the "Rose Rose" thing.

I think it means "rose" in Modern Hebrew, but originally it was derived from Shoshannah, and the Hebrew word Shoshan, which meant "lily."
