I think its a blonde chicks name and no I dont mean to insult

I think Suzy is sweet and I prefer this spelling, though I would use it as a nickname rather than a full first name.

I think it's adorable although I'd spell it Susie and use it as a nick for Susanna. I do have a dd named Anna, however, she pronounces it with the AH sound which sounds nothing like the way I'd pronounce the Anna of Susanna. She'd be called Susie most of the time. It's just a thought. I'd probably never do it since the names are so similar.

I'd love it. I try really hard to like Susan because I love Suzy so much. It's so wonderfully retro and soft, with a hard edge to it. It's both eyelet lace and mary janes and switchblade knives and skipping church. I think of a bobby soxer who hangs out with ne'er-do-wells at Pop's Malt Shoppe.

It's ok as a nn, but I much prefer Suzanne or Susan.

It's dated. Suzy is more for older people, not kids. Back in grade school, if we wrote stories, the main character was "Susie." But Suzy is the same. It wouldnt last on a kid.

Susanna nn Susie is my favourite girls name. I prefer Susie but I like the Suzy spelling too.

It has a cute, charming sound, but I see a couple potential problems with it:

---

It's very lightweight and generic. Like Janie or Sissy or Missy. The kind of name somebody would give a hypothetical character if they didn't care much about making it real.

---

This may not be an issue for a lot of families, but when I was growing up, Suzie was what little girls were taught to call their private parts. We outgrew it by the time we were preteens or so, but when we were little it was a handy euphemism. I feel the same way about Willie on a boy.

I like Suzy, and I think it's very cute. It's a lot better than Sue, which is too plain, IMO.

Hmm, it still seems a little dated, but I think it might be cute. I'd spell it Susie.

I think it's adorable! I prefer Suzy to Susie, for the record. Also, all of the full names -- Susanna / Susannah, Susan, Suzanne -- appeal to me.

That's my sister's nn. Her full name is Susan. I'm for it.
