I’m not the biggest fan of [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] or [name_f]Susan[/name_f]/Suzanne/Suzette, but I do really like the name [name_f]Susie[/name_f] on its own. I find it super sweet, and full of vintage charm, much like some of the other loves on my list ([name_f]Betsy[/name_f], [name_f]Nellie[/name_f], [name_f]Elsie[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Millie[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], etc. etc.). I heard it recently on a child character on a TV show, and it reminded me of how much I do like it.
Do you think [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is a wearable choice today? I’m not terribly concerned about names aging well and such - I’ve never really believed that names can be “too cutesy” but, I do wonder if it might be a bit too old or in that spot where it’s not quite ready for a revival yet?

If you’re not worried about it being too cutesy, it seems fine to me!

Nah, [name_f]Susie[/name_f] would be lovely on its own! Tbh I love [name_f]Susie[/name_f] as a nn for Sunflower which is both cutesy and a stretch as a nickname so I’m not one to worry about that aspect lol.

It’s very cute! I have a good friend whose name is [name_f]Susan[/name_f] but everyone calls her [name_f]Susie[/name_f], which IMO is much more wearable.

Susie has a different feel to me than the names you listed but I’m struggling to pinpoint exactly why… I think [name_f]Susie[/name_f] feels more “mainstream” as a “cutesy” name, almost like a stereotype in that category, so it feels less “genuinely sweet” compared to [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] or [name_f]Nellie[/name_f] or [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] to me. It reminds me of [name_f]Suzy[/name_f] [name_m]Johnson[/name_m] from [name_m]Phineas[/name_m] and Ferb (aka “[name_m]Little[/name_m] [name_f]Suzy[/name_f]”) who was definitely based on that stereotype of a sweet little girl (although she deviates from that), so perhaps that’s why I find it to be somewhat stereotypical. I don’t think that made sense at all but I guess that’s the best I can do.
In response to your questions, I really don’t know what it truly unwearable today, so I lean more towards a “why the heck not?” mentality on that front. It is a little old but, honestly, feels around the same time period as [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] for me so since that one feels revival-worthy to you, I think [name_f]Susie[/name_f] should as well.

I like [name_f]Susie[/name_f]! I think it works on its own, especially because you don’t like any longer forms. I don’t think it is too cutesy either.

I know two friends with this name and it is definitely a wearable choice!! One spells it [name_f]Susie[/name_f] and the other is [name_f]Suzy[/name_f]. Both cute!

How do you feel about [name_f]Sosie[/name_f]? I don’t know why but it looks more serious and fuller than [name_f]Susie[/name_f], in my opinion. [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is nice, but I do think it’s perpetually cute and sweet. Not that this is a bad thing, it’s a matter of preference.

I don’t think [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is to cutesy at all! I have a cousin $us!e (it’s her full name), and it ages amazingly on her, considering she’s about 19. It’s a really nice name in all!

While I tend to find nicknames as given names overly cutesy in a lot of cases, [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is one that honestly feels pretty wearable for an adult.
I think [name_f]Susie[/name_f] is wearable for any age and I actually don’t think it’s too cutesy or old. I’d love to see a revival for [name_f]Susie[/name_f]!
I like [name_f]Susie[/name_f] in itself. I agree it has a warm charm to it. I prefer the [name_f]Susie[/name_f] spelling rather than the z spelling.
[name_f]Susie[/name_f] is so sweet! I was actually thinking about her the other day! It’s so cute, and I honestly can’t believe it isn’t making a come back, either as a nn or full name!
Sounds like a name that the wearer really molds. It’s distinctive in being a touch dated, but in a strong way, if that makes any sense.
