Is [name_f]Sue[/name_f] ready for a comeback or is it better left in the past?
Well, I’m not at all a fan of [name_f]Sue[/name_f] as I do find it dated and much too bland/somewhat abrupt for my liking. That said, I don’t mind [name_f]Susie[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Sue[/name_f] would be best used as a nickname for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] or the like - it could make a comeback that way I suppose, but I don’t see it becoming popular as full name in itself.
I like [name_f]Sue[/name_f] as a middle name. I think it could become a filler far into the future but it is ready for a hipster style comeback right now.
I like [name_f]Sue[/name_f] but would use it as a nn for [name_f]Susan[/name_f] or something similar.
I think the [name_f]Sue[/name_f] names are ripe for the picking. Probably popular too recently to stage a mass comeback in the next decade or two, but very usable. [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] has been near the top of my list for years. I think [name_f]Susan[/name_f] is great, too — more [name_f]Jane[/name_f] than [name_u]Jean[/name_u], more [name_f]Anne[/name_f] than [name_f]Annette[/name_f], a classic that was used mid-century but retains a solid, clean-cut, old-fashioned feeling. I think that [name_f]Sue[/name_f] by itself feels a bit short, so I’d go for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] or [name_f]Susan[/name_f] insead. [name_f]Suzanne[/name_f] is more of a [name_u]Jean[/name_u]/[name_f]Annette[/name_f] situation, a more elaborate form that isn’t likely to take off in the U.S. for a longer time. But I do really like it, especially with the [name_f]Suzy[/name_f] nickname.
I’m not opposed to [name_f]Sue[/name_f]. I can see how cute it would be on a little girl.
I’m not excited about [name_f]Sue[/name_f], but [name_f]Susan[/name_f] is one of my “dated” favorites!
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite nn for [name_f]Susan[/name_f] (or [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]) is [name_f]Sukey[/name_f]. It’s been so underused for the past century or so that it seems modern or almost futuristic. I’m not a big fan of [name_f]Sue[/name_f], mostly because of the image I have of a middle-aged plump lady with bleached hair (I’m sorry to any [name_f]Sue[/name_f]'s or [name_f]Sue[/name_f]-lovers out there! That’s just what I think of!) [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is cutesy and is alright for one-year-old or even an eight-year-old, but I’m sure [name_f]Susie[/name_f] won’t want to be [name_f]Susie[/name_f] in high school and college. [name_f]Suzy[/name_f], although similar in sound, is a completely different story. I don’t mind [name_f]Suzy[/name_f] honestly. It’s just that if I were to name my daughter [name_f]Susannah[/name_f], I would most definitely nickname her [name_f]Sukey[/name_f].
[name_f]Sue[/name_f] makes me think of the [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Sue[/name_f] character and [name_f]Suellen[/name_f] in Gone With the Wind who was sometimes called [name_f]Sue[/name_f] or sister [name_f]Sue[/name_f], so I don’t have the greatest associations with it. I like [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] though, and the Hungarian [name_f]Zsuzsanna[/name_f] (zhu-zhahn-ah), though that would cause a lot of problems in English-speaking countries!
[name_f]Sue[/name_f] is cute, I also love [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] nn [name_f]Susie[/name_f] (too bad my husband has a crazy aunt named [name_f]Susie[/name_f] or I would have it at the top of my list. But I think [name_f]Sue[/name_f] is definitely usable.
It’s not ready yet. It sits with [name_f]Tammy[/name_f], [name_f]Vicky[/name_f], and [name_f]Sherry[/name_f] as nicknames that are part of a now-middle-aged generation.
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f]/[name_f]Susannah[/name_f], however, is lovely.
[name_f]Sue[/name_f] does have that rockabilly vibe going for it. I think it’s usable.
I don’t think it’s quite ready. As a nickname for [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] I think it could work; personally I prefer [name_u]Rue[/name_u] or even [name_u]Lou[/name_u] : )
No. I think it’s more likely that [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] will become popular.
Ooh me too! I always picture the little girl from the movie The Patriot.
I like it as a nn for [name_f]Susan[/name_f]. <3
While I’m not the biggest fan, it’s very sweet, and very usable. I like it as a double barrelled name, all these have been used in [name_f]England[/name_f] and [name_m]Wales[/name_m] in past years;
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilly[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
[name_f]Ellie[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
[name_f]Maisie[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
[name_f]Evie[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]-[name_f]Sue[/name_f]
It has a sweet, southern vibe for me, so I feel that it works with double barrelled names slightly better than it does on it’s own.
