This is a tough one… my last name has either a short “i” like fig, which is how my husband’s family pronounces it, or it has a long “ee” which is technically correct in the language it comes from. Husband wants an S name, and I’d like to try to avoid the “ee,ee” double if I can. Do you know any S names that don’t have the ee sound?
Edited to add, I like grandma names (popular in 1920-1940 type names) and my husband likes more modern! Thanks y’all!

What types of names do you tend to like? (Old fashioned, modern, common, rare, etc?) It’s helpful to know stylistic preferences like that if you happen to have any.

What about Sh names, or is it the S sound as well as the letter that you are looking for?
[name_f]Stella[/name_f] (seems like a good compromise, vintage yet fashionable!)
[name_f]Susannah[/name_f]

I’ve always been partial to [name_u]Sloane[/name_u], though that’s more of an 80s name than a “grandma” name
