I consider it a kind of combination of classic and 50's dated. I'm not sure if it's quite ready for a comback yet. I kind of put it in a limbo category with other "wartime sensible chic" names like Barbara, Martha, Deborah, Helen, Judith, Dorothy, Joan - stuff that is not quiiite yet in the "cool retro" category. Maybe in like ten years? Susie is iconically old fashioned enough that I think it could catch on in an ironic way. I could see a very posh, professional couple liking Susan for it's no-nonsense intelligence and Susie for its quaint simplicity.

Suellen reminds me of pigs. Like, a lot. I don't know why. Maybe the "Sue-" beginning remind me of the "sooo-eeee" call for pigs?

I'd have to say Susannah is my favourite that you have there, though I know it's maybe a bit overly precious. My absolute favourite, Suzette, was not listed. I just love the saucy poodle-puff of Suzette. I love that -zette part!
