Help[Opinions] Re: Susanna/Susannah
in reply to a message by Catalina
I prefer Susanna because it's closest to the original Greek, Sousanna, and because it just looks lighter without that h. I don't normally care for that at the end of a feminine name and will choose the alternative every time (i.e., Sara, Rebecca, Lia, etc.). My only exception is Leah and I'd probably not ever use it because I don't really care for the way it looks.
Between your two combos, I easily prefer Susanna Margaret because Blythe -- as nice as the meaning is -- sounds like 'blight.'
Re: sibsets, I prefer the one with the boy names because the others have nns or short forms and I'm anal enough to like all my names to have a similar style (for example, either Katherine, Victoria and Anna or Kate, Toria and Annie). I like consistency. Also in your last set, Margot and Greta are both forms of basically the same name (Marguerite, Margareta) and that bugs me. :-)
