I'm mexican-american and I love my name. In Mexico you will not find a female by the name Susan and that is for sure. When I introduce myself as Susie, everyone assumes my name is SUSANNA.

This is the most beautiful girl name. It also isn't too common with babies, which makes it a great choice. I named my daughter Susan after my mother who passed away.
