susan,its funny that you say that you hate being called sue,well thats what im always called by friends and family,ive only ever been called suzanne by teachers(who more often than not thought my name was susan spelt with a z)and my mum,i always knew i was in trouble when my mum called suzanne.by the way where was your friend suzanne from?x

Hello Suzanne,

I went to school with a Suzanne, from memory she was the only one.

I see there are a few Susan's on here too. I always hated my name, so plain. My two younger sisters had much prettier names than me ( so I thought )although I am the only one given a second name. In fact youngest gave herself a second name not that long ago......

Goodness knows what I would choose for myself given the chance.

I hate Sue, I am Susan - although I get called Sue from time to time and answer to it.

Contrary maybe ?

Susan

hi everyone.thanks for your coments.
my mum told me years ago that my name was french for lily?i was born in 1963 and went through school never coming across anyone with the same name as me,although there was plenty of susans.x

Hi Suzanne, many years ago I went to a GR meet and there were three Helens! Weird. Someone took a photo and we were on the GR photo page for a while.

When our first baby was born we named her Nicola: it seemed to be an unusual name at the time, although I had known a girl at school with that name.

When I took her for her 6 week post-natal checkup there were 6 baby Nicolas waiting to be seen, I couldn't believe it!!! There are still not very many of her age.

You are welcome, Suzanne. A friend of mine used to sing that song every time we had a party...many moons ago:-) Lovely name. BC XX

oh how lovely.thank you for that.x

Suzanne takes you down
To the place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And you know that she's half crazy
And that's why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from China
And just when you want to tell her
That you have no love to give her
She gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That you've always been her lover

And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe you'll trust her
For she's touched your perfect body with her mind

And Jesus was a sailor when he walked upon the water
And He spent a long time watching
From a lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said, all men shall be sailors, then,
Until the sea shall free them
But He, himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone

Suzanne takes you down
To the place by the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night forever
And the sun pours down like honey
On Our Lady of the Harbor
And she shows you where to look
Amidst the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While Suzanne holds the mirror

I have a friend called Suzanne. She tends to be called Suzie for short. I think she will be 62 this year. I also have a contact on here with that name, so there are a few about, but I agree it's quite an uncommon name.

Wendy (that gives my age away!) x

when i was growing up i hardly ever came across anyone with the same name as me,now ive noticed three people on this site with the name suzanne,it would be interesting to know if we are all the same age,also any more suzannes out there?x
