Sookie??

InLove24 · March 2009

I really like this name but I'm getting a lot of negative comments with this name. What do you think? i got it from the TV show true blood

Sookie was on Gilmore Girls too. It fit her but I kinda don't dig it.

Sookie was the name of my little brother's imaginary friend when he was a kid.

He was 4. I have no idea where he dreamed up that name...lol.

I don't like it one bit though. Sorry.

ToBeMrsT · March 2009

I think it's OK.

LMS05 · March 2009

It's really horrible

smismar · March 2009

I'm not a fan. I think I've seen it spelled Suki, though.

amoureux · March 2009

It doesn't work for me. Honestly, it sounds like a name for a pet or for livestock.

Can you come up with a different name to be her legal name and refer to her as Sookie only at home?

I am also trying to imagine the 'Honorable Sookie Anderson'. Or, 'President Sookie'. Doesn't work for me.

That's who I thought of.

mmb522 · March 2009

No I don't like it at all. It sounds like a term of endearment not a name.

Emie28 · March 2009

It's weird and I would never use it, BUT I kinda like it.

JoyGotDots · March 2009

I think it's too close to "Suey!" You know, the way you call a pig. I agree that Sookie sounds like a nickname.

kellyfromcali · March 2009

I love the name Sookie because of Gilmore Girls...... but I wanted to name my next dog that, not a baby. I say leave it to television characters.?

Amrice78 · March 2009

In all honesty (I'm really not trying to be mean) it sounds like the sound you make when you're trying to call a pig. Sorry.

cabana1 · March 2009

When I first saw the post I thought you were asking about sookie as a nn. I think it is an awful first name.

Temp950106187509203 · March 2009

Can't believe no one has mentioned King Floyd's "Groove Me" (one-hit-wonder from the early '70s).

"Huh! Aww, sookie sookie now!"

me, too. I like it better spelled "Suki"

DarcyLongfellow · March 2009

While I love the Southern Vampire Mysteries (the books that True Blood is based on), Sookie is a truly awful name.

It's not even really a name. It's a very, very Southern nickname for sister -- like the feminine equivalent of Bubbah.

So, if you really, really want to call your child Sookie, you could name her whatever you want, then just call her Sookie for "sister" (I suppose you'd really need to have a second child first so that she'd actually *be* a sister).

Also, to those that suggested Suki -- they're two different names. I *think* Suki is pronounced more like the beginning of soup -- sou-key. Sookie is pronounced so it rhymes with cookie.

PunkyBooster · March 2009

yuck! I think of the True Blood girl, which is not pleasant for me.

still_a_bride · March 2009

I don't like Sookie (mainly because I hear the guy from True Blood in my head saying it with that breathy Southern accent), but I do like Suki (from Gilmore Girls). It's pronounced slightly differently. Sookie is like "cookie" but with an S, Suki is like "Sue-key"

Eros · March 2009

I keep thinking of "Suki, suki now" too. I also watched the Gilmore Girls and thought it kind of fit the character on the show. However, IRL, it is not a good name. It is awful. I would hate my parents if they named me Sookie. As a nn? Fine, if that's what you prefer. As a forma name? Heck no.

kbchicago · March 2009

just reading it typed out...it doesn't sound like a real intelligent name.

EXL311 · March 2009

Sookie is horrendous. I had a cat named Suki. Great name for a cat, horrible name for a kid.

JoyGotDots · March 2009

Sookie is how Sookie St. James, the character on Gilmore Girls, spells it. Kooky and Sookie rhyme. Also, Suki looks very asian to me.

Still, it's not a good first name.

cupcake_queen · March 2009

I've read all the books and I love the show, but I think the name Sookie is awful, sorry!

How'd you get a Nesticle at 5052 posts?! Were they handing them out and you were first in line??

GettinNervous · March 2009

Can't even type how much I hate it

thenewmrsrussell · March 2009

NMS at all

Same here. I don't know this for sure, but I always thought her name was spelled Suki (at least, that's how I always pictured it). Sookie sounds like a family nickname, one that even the kid's friends don't use. It always looks like "nookie" to me, which can only lead to teasing in the adolescent years...

mulanuva · March 2009

My cousin named her cat that. I had never heard it before.

Sookie??
