Zuzu.

Always been curious about this name since watching "It's A Wonderful Life"

What do you think about the name? Do you know of any "full" names for it? Also does anyone know the etymology of the name?

Thanks

Ahhhh christmas time :) I think it's cute but it definitely needs a full name. Probably it evolved as a nickname for Susan? I'm not sure. Susan would definitely work as a full name and so would Suzanne.

I love Zuzu as an occasional nickname for Susanna. :)

Well, I know several men nick-named Zuzu.It's the Mid-East nick-name for Joseph, or Yousf. I think it's ridiculous on a grown man, but they don't think so.

My boyfriend is middle eastern and his old nickname use to be Zou Zou (pronounced same way as Zu Zu I believe) but his real name is Zoulfikar. I guess it can be for a few names.

On the show Avatar: The Last Airbender, Azula calls her brother Zuko, Zuzu.

Aw.

Love "It's a Wonderful Life" and love Zuzu! In the movie, it's short for Susan (I think). It definitely needs a more formal name (Suzette / Zuzanna (etc.), Zulema, Ursula, Melusine, Drusilla, Zudora, Zuleika?) but as a nn it's darling. :-)

I think Zuzu could work as a nickname for Susanna. It would definitely work for Zuzanna.

In fact, I like it as a nickname for Susan and any of her relatives: Suzanne, Susana, Zsuzsanna, et al.

Ooh! Zuleika is another option.
