Help please!
I posted a bit ago and got a couple of lovely responses, but really need some more help. Nothing is feeling quite right to us…
I’m stuck on [name_f]Willa[/name_f] and [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], but not in love…
The names that came to mind for [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]'s little sister were [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] [name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] and [name_f]Bethany[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]/ [name_f]Willa[/name_f] [and this one 2nd hehe]
Jospehine [name_f]Willa[/name_f]/ [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_f]Evangeline[/name_f] [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Bethany[/name_f] [name_f]Willa[/name_f]/ [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] [i like this name most…]
Other names that go well with [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] are-
[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] [name_f]Camilla[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f] [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f] [name_f]Jennifer[/name_f] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Jessica[/name_f] [name_f]Patricia[/name_f] [name_f]Naomi[/name_f] [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Melanie[/name_f] [name_f]Rachel[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f] [name_f]Rebecca[/name_f] [name_f]Michelle[/name_f] [name_f]Isabella[/name_f]
From myself and my sister, here’s some names that are classic but fresh and modern sounding.
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Jemima[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Delilah[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Lucinda[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Molly[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Polly[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Tallulah[/name_f]
Good luck! My sister and I both think [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] is very cute, which is impressive given she generally doesn’t like [name_f]Susanna[/name_f], and I don’t normally like [name_u]Lake[/name_u]!
[name_f]Emmeline[/name_f]
[name_f]Wilhelmina[/name_f]
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Cordelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Magdalena[/name_f]
[name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and

[name_f]Geneva[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Farrah[/name_f]
[name_f]Nicolette[/name_f]
[name_f]Georgia[/name_f]

My suggestions with [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]…
[name_f]Justine[/name_f]
[name_f]Esme[/name_f]
Anneleise
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] is both classic and modern, so almost any name works well.
I immediately thought of [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]April[/name_f]. I don’t know why, it just came to mind!
[name_f]April[/name_f]
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]/[name_f]Carolyn[/name_f]
[name_f]Gemma[/name_f]
[name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_f]Lenora[/name_f]/[name_f]Leonor[/name_f]
[name_f]Macy[/name_f]
[name_f]Estelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] is classic but not in the same way as the popular-vintagey names like [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]:
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Celia[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Rowena[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_f]Clarice[/name_f]
[name_f]Maris[/name_f]
[name_f]Odette[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] or [name_f]Ramona[/name_f]- [name_u]Romy[/name_u]
[name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_u]Vesper[/name_u]
[name_f]Junia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Margot[/name_f]
[name_f]Helena[/name_f]
[name_f]Eleni[/name_f]
[name_u]Julianne[/name_u] or [name_f]Julienne[/name_f]- maybe with the nickname [name_u]June[/name_u]?
[name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_f]Viola[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Alma[/name_f], [name_u]Alva[/name_u] or [name_f]Alba[/name_f]
[name_f]Joanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_u]Seren[/name_u]
[name_f]Rafaela[/name_f]
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] is very pretty, sweet, and a bit old-fashioned. Names I like with it are:
[name_f]Clover[/name_f] - seems just as sweet and old-fashioned, but currently cutting-edge as well. [name_u]Clove[/name_u] is a cute NN, I think! [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] [name_u]Lake[/name_u] & [name_f]Clover[/name_f] [name_f]Willa[/name_f]/[name_f]Jane[/name_f]/[name_f]Mary[/name_f]- something like that?
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] - I really like this name - it’s retro-stylish, and whimsical, and fun to say, just like [name_f]Susanna[/name_f]! [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] Delll,[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_u]Wren[/name_u], [name_f]Tabitha[/name_f] [name_f]Fern[/name_f], etc…would be great. And I just swoon over the NN [name_f]Tibby[/name_f]/Tibbytoes (like tippy toes). [name_f]Do[/name_f] you call your daughter [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] or [name_f]Sanna[/name_f] or something else as a NN? Good luck!
[name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and…
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f]
[name_f]Julia[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Cecily[/name_f]
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f]
[name_f]Verity[/name_f]
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Zoe[/name_f]
[name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Tabitha[/name_f]
Thank you all so much! I am liking lots of these names. I will run them by the husband later and get back. In the meantime, if you had to choose between [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f], what would be the verdict?
I would choose [name_f]Willa[/name_f] over [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] for sure. eh-lies-uh. I just hear grunting and the word lies when I hear [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]. Sorry!
I would also choose [name_f]Willa[/name_f], seems more fresh and feminine and matches better with the softer sounding [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]
I think [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] would go well with [name_f]Susanna[/name_f].
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f]
[name_f]Judith[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u]
[name_f]Beatrice[/name_f]
[name_f]Philippa[/name_f]
[name_f]Monica[/name_f]
[name_f]Ramona[/name_f]
[name_f]Romilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
I love [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]! [name_m]How[/name_m] about:
[name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
Thank you all!
I’m liking a lot of these names. We really like [name_f]Louisa[/name_f], [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], [name_f]Calla[/name_f], [name_f]Margot[/name_f], and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], and [name_f]Junia[/name_f]. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is beautiful too. I love the suggestion of [name_f]Clover[/name_f], but our last name ends in “er” so it doesn’t work.
Question: Would [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] be a little too southern-sounding? My husband thinks so. We call [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] “[name_f]Zuzu[/name_f]” about half of the time and I think [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and [name_f]Miri[/name_f] would be adorable.
Another question: I got a lot of suggestions of [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], which I love but don’t like the popularity in my area. What do you all think of [name_f]Calliope[/name_f]? Too much? I love that the meaning is “beautiful voice” and my husband is a musician.
From the two you suggested in your first post, I prefer [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] over [name_f]Willa[/name_f] when paired with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f].
From your post above, I love [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and think it is amazing with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f]. [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] are lovely too, the others I’m not quite as keen on but can’t put my finger on why.
I don’t see a problem with [name_f]Susannah[/name_f] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f], but I’m British so don’t know what sounds ‘southern’! [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and [name_f]Miri[/name_f] are gorgeous nicknames. I like [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] but not sure I would use it, however if [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] is popular in your area then I don’t think [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] would seem too ‘out there’ by comparison.
Really like [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] :). I don’t think that [name_f]Susanna[/name_f] and [name_f]Miranda[/name_f] are too southern-sounding at all. I think [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] is pretty but would raise lots of issues with people not knowing how to say or spell it.
Other ideas:
[name_f]Eulalie[/name_f]/[name_f]Eulalia[/name_f]
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Laurel[/name_f]
[name_f]Ruth[/name_f]
[name_f]Bryony[/name_f]/[name_f]Briony[/name_f]
[name_f]Camille[/name_f]
[name_f]Miriam[/name_f]
[name_f]Rosalind[/name_f]
[name_f]Tess[/name_f]
[name_f]Celeste[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f] and [name_f]Calla[/name_f] were the first to come to mind - with the a ending
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f] popped up next then they’d each have a song (Oh, Sussana and Waltzing [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]). [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] is so cute - [name_f]Zuzu[/name_f] and [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]?
I like [name_f]Calliope[/name_f] and the musical connection!
