I've been catching up on the US version of Being Human the past few days. One of the royal vampires on there is a lady named Suren. I actually think I may love this name. I researched pronunciations and the few sites I've been on have said this is actually a masculine name. And I can't find the pronunciation to match how they say it in the show. I guess it would be like saying sewer and wren together. (I'm so bad at this haha) wdyt of it? I think a real frilly, girly middle name would balance it out nicely. So far though, the only name I have is Suren Isabel(le).
new fascination

I LOVE that show! But the name Suren to me sounds either very foreign or someone who wanted their child to have a trendier sounding name that Soren and I see it as very masculine as well. :/ I pronounced it more like "Sirr-en"

Have you seen Suren in the show then? Makes it easier since you know of the show. I like how they pronounce it. It tickles me when they call her Princess Suren. I can't remember it's origin, but I'm sure it's derived from Soren or Soren is derived from it.
I also like the idea of using Suri as a nickname.
And off topic...what season is this show on now?
I'm 2 episodes away from finishing Season 2 on Netflix.

It's in season 3 right now, just started up this year. 
I can only see her with the name because she was "born" in the Mongol Hordes era and it sounds to me like a name from that group and time so it vaguely fits, especially if it was a surname turned first name, just not really on a girl/woman to me. 
Suri, could feminize it but I think of Siri so for me it's still iffy haha

I hate that I started watching on Netflix. I'll never get caught up.

I was reading Suren is actually derived from the Indian name Surenda or something 
Interesting origins hehe Suri is darn cute though, love Suren Isabel(le) 
okay, maybe this will be an easier way to get it! Is the u in Suren pronounced the same as the u in put? or like the oooo in sewer? soooo-ren, or suhr-ren? LOL
