Honoring Mother

Girl Names
1

Awhile back I posted that my brother and sister in law are expecting baby #2, trusting me with their naming ideas and knowing I am a name nerd. They asked me for help, but I am stumped. They have an older daughter named [name]Alison[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] named after my [name]SIL[/name]'s mother and the mn is my [name]SIL[/name]'s name. (she was born on mother’s day) My brother and [name]SIL[/name] want to honor my mother whose name is [name]Susan[/name]. They would like to use it as a first name, but maybe not the actual name. Mn will be Schumacher. What do you think?

So far I thought of [name]Lily[/name] since [name]Susan[/name] means lily or use nicknames for [name]Susan[/name]. Help is appreciated since they are due this summer.

[name]Susannah[/name] of course!! Perfect with [name]Alison[/name].

4

I second [name]Susannah[/name] or [name]Sosie[/name].

5

They were thinking of a [name]Sue[/name] combo name… Like [name]Sue[/name]-[name]Ann[/name] or [name]Sue[/name]-[name]Mae[/name]. [name]Susannah[/name] is very pretty though!

6

I agree - I think [name]Susannah[/name] would be a great sister for [name]Allison[/name].

7

Talked to my [name]SIL[/name] today…she loves [name]Susannah[/name] Schumacher, but is debating between [name]Sue[/name]-[name]Mae[/name] or [name]Sue[/name]-[name]Ann[/name] or [name]Susannah[/name].

[name]Just[/name] adding in my vote for [name]Susannah[/name] (which could then be shortened to [name]Susie[/name]/[name]Suzy[/name]/[name]Suky[/name]). What a lovely responsibility they gave you!

9

[name]Love[/name] [name]Susannah[/name]! It is my second daughter’s name.

10

It is a honor! And I am pretty sure they will pick [name]Susannah[/name], although my brother brought [name]Savannah[/name] to her.

11

I love [name]Susannah[/name]!

12

I’m voting for [name]Susannah[/name]!

13

She is due soon! They have [name]Savannah[/name], [name]Susannah[/name] and [name]Lily[/name] on their list. Won’t decide till they meet her though!

14

Here is another vote for [name]Susannah[/name]! They can always nn her [name]Sue[/name]-[name]Ann[/name] if that is what appeals to them. (I [name]LOVE[/name] [name]Susannah[/name], but I happen to also like [name]Susan[/name]. I am surprised at how unpopular [name]Susan[/name] has become. It strikes me as refined and intelligent.)

15

If it was a boy, they wanted to name him [name]William[/name]. ( after her father)

My brothers name is [name]Douglas[/name], so what would be the feminine version of that? I like that idea a lot
[name]Lori[/name]! Let me talk to them about that.
