Susannah

This is a gorgeous name, and will age better than Susan/Suzanne.

Actual Hebrew speaking Jew here, if you want to be biblically accurate then it's שושנה and Shoshanah is the most common transliteration.

It's not important though! Let people spell their names how they want!

Assuming bible spellings have never changed? I don’t think an h is going make or break the link

I love it.

Yes I agree! I don't like Susan, Suzanne, and other ones like that, but I love Susannah!

It is a beautiful name.

I have loved this name since I was a little girl.

It's a beautiful name, but I prefer Lilly.

I love Susannah. It's beautiful, elegant, soft, classic and criminally underused. I'm not too keen on Susie or Suze, but Sanne or Zuzu are wonderful nicknames!

or a "lily", since that's what it means.

I love it <3 honestly I'm completely sold. It's a beautiful classic, biblical long name with plenty of nickname options- my favourite is Susa, a name from my favourite book of one of my favourite series <3

It's lovely, unique, and classic, and a Susannah can be anything from Susie to Suki to Anna to Sannah. It's a great name

In the Bible itself it's spelled 'Susanna' it is without the H. The Apocrypha is not included in the Bible. So by saying this name has biblical roots which is true the way it should be spelled is Susanna. You may find it in Luke 8:3.
-Susanna who was named after the 'Susanna' in the Bible

I'm meh about all the other Susan form names but I think this one is so great! It sounds so vintage, charming, floral and pretty, while also being strong and sturdy, not a blow-over trendy name but an underused timeless classic. Also it suits a little girl as well as a grown woman, with many lovely accessible nicknames like Sunny/Sanne/Lily/Zuzu/anything you make of it really. Can't go wrong with Susannah.

I named my first daughter Susannah and still can't think of a lovelier name for a little girl.

I love it.

I'm glad one of my top picks has gotten such high praise from nb. Its classy yet underrated. It has almost the same plethora of nicknames of Elizabeth without being overused. My great-grandmother's name was Susannah but everyone called her Machy (Mock-y after her last name), and I think this is a perfect way to honor her.

It always surprises me that Susannah is not in the SSA's top 1000. If I were having a girl, I'd grab this name up!

Could be a unique way to get Lily, as it is Susannah's meaning.

Beautiful name, love the nickname Sannah. :)
