Susie vs. Susan

I really love the nickname Susie. The problem the only Sue name i like is Susan and I’m okay with it but I’m not sure its in the running for my final choice. I do not like Susanna/ext. Just Susan and Susie. Should I just use Susie as the full name?

I know a girl named susan marie (she went by susie) and a girl named susie lorette. So you could really go either way and choose the one you love most.

Susan is a nice name, Susie is a cute nickname. If you like Susan, use it as the full name. I can’t see the name "Susie" at the top of a resume or at the bottom of a business letter or after the title "Doctor", but Susan is a nice name for an adult - even if everyone in her life calls her Susie!
Personally, I adore the name Susannah, but I totally understand that you don’t like it!

I would go for Susan. It’s sweet and sunny, and is a bit more "dressed up" than Susie as a formal name, while still lending itself very easily to the nickname. I think it’s a beautiful choice!

Thank-you all for your help:) I am so glad no one has said its to old ladyish yet. I understand why they would say that though:)

Nahh - "old-lady" names are making a comeback! Honestly the only names I would call "too old lady" would be names like Gertrude and Edna and Bertha, and I feel bad saying that.

Also

Helen
Joyce
Greta
Eleanor
Elaine
Diane
Alison
Alexandra
Carys (I know this is modern but I am so close to taking it off my list. Need to ask hubby what he thinks but it just sounds like I’m saying carrots. What do you think?)

I like Susan best of all the names you’ve posted!
I also like, though, Roma, Greta, Eleanor, Elaine, and Diane (or Diana).
Susan Elaine or Susan Eleanor would be fine names, GL!

Susan Elaine is beautiful thanks:)What do you think of Susie Laine? Not all the time but sometimes?

Cute! I’m an Abigail Katherine, mostly go by Abbie, but when I was little my mom would call me "Abbie Kate" sometimes and I always wished she used it more because I loved it! It’s what I usually go by on this site. Haha.
Eleanor Susan, Marilyn Susan, and lots of other combos could have similar nickname options. (Ellie/Ella Sue/Susie, Mari Sue, etc)

My mom’s name is Susan Elaine. I think it’s a great name! Very retro-cool.
