[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]! [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is nice as well, but I think [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is an underused gem.
While I personally prefer the sound of [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], its sheer popularity may sway me toward choosing [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]!
Like the above poster said, it is such an underused gem.
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] 
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
Also love [name_f]Isannah[/name_f], [name_f]Vianne[/name_f], [name_f]Ottilie[/name_f], [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] as some similar options
Especially love [name_f]Viola[/name_f] as an alternative to [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]! [name_u]Bright[/name_u], bouncy and beautiful but full of elegance too!
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f].
Susannah!! It’s a sunshiny name 
Susannah!
I prefer Livia to Olivia, meanwhile.
Edit: for me, it would also be whether you like Liv/Livvy or Sunny/Suki/Susie/Annie. Olivia is more dramatically beautiful, while Susannah is more joyful and bucolic. I would consider Livia as a third option - and even Sylvie/Sylvia could be a smoosh.
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] all the way!! It’s golden, sunny, rugged, and warm, while [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is nice but WAY to popular. I know at least 10, so that makes it kind of loose it’s charm.
I can see why you are having a difficult time choosing as they’re both beautiful. Maybe choose based on which name you like the nicknames for, especially considering [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] because it is quite long and may be likely to get shortened when she is a bit older.
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]!
I love [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]! Despite seeing it’s popularity on charts (which doesnt ever bother me), but I have NEVER met an [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]. I have travelled lots as well and still have never ever met an [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] in any age group. I am actually soo sad about that. [name_f]Olive[/name_f] is beautiful too, but I prefer it as a middle because of the common food association.
With that said, I really dislike [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]. I think this is far dated to the 60s and I personally despite seeing people push this name, I think this is never ready for a comeback. I would be beyond glad to leave this in the past. I love -anna(h) ending names like [name_f]Hannah[/name_f], [name_f]Lilyanna[/name_f], [name_f]Savannah[/name_f], etc… But [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] I could certainly lose and never miss to see it again. I don’t find the sound all that attractive either nor the nickname [name_f]Sue[/name_f] - all it reminds me of it Sewer and I could see the tease potential with kids to say “Sewer Sue”.
[name_f]My[/name_f] vote 110% goes to the beautiful [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] 
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]! While [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is also really pretty, I think it’s super overused; I’ve met SO MANY. [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is bright and happy, with a vintage charm. [name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps!
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] hands down!
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is gorgeous, elegant, strong, has a lovely melodic sound, the beautiful meaning [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and evokes gorgeous springtime imagery. I think [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is beautiful unexpected and refreshing. I also like the nickname options [name_f]Suki[/name_f] and [name_f]Annie[/name_f].
I love both, but [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is one of my all-time favorites. So underrated and underused, but so beautiful.
I find them equally beautiful, but [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is very popular and [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is much less popular. There were many Susannah’s in the [name_f]English[/name_f] speaking world in the 17th and 18th centuries, so it is an old name and I think is sad that it is not popular today.
I’m on the [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] train. I think that [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is gorgeous. [name_m]Classic[/name_m] & romantic yet sweet. However, it’s so popular that it makes it sparkle a bit less. [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] is well known & vintage & you hear it way less often…which makes it more special.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] this helps.

[name_f]Olivia[/name_f] is overused and I think [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] has more elegance and roundedness to her.
For sure [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]! [name_u]Love[/name_u] this sweet old fashioned name, it’d seem so fresh on a little girl. Plus the meaning, lily, is also great. [name_m]Way[/name_m] less heard than [name_f]Olivia[/name_f].
