Suzanne

Suzanne is a French form of Susannah, which means "lily." For more information on that name you'll either have to look it up yourself (try Behind the Name, the link is right over there on the side of your screen,) or you can wait til I add it here. Suzanne was a reasonably popular name in the U.S. for some time, appearing in the top 100 in the 1940's, 50's, and 60's, but it hasn't appeared in the top 1000 since 1999. The name could make a comeback with the right trigger--famous super-model or fictional character, for instance. Personally I think Suzanne is a just "okay" name--because it has some versatility, but that same versatility is working against it; the obvious nicknames for Suzanne are Suzie, Sue, or (less likely) Anne. Sue and Suzie are not very high in public favor at the moment, and there are many other ways to wind up with "Anne," including simply naming a girl "Anne."
