Susanne with an ‘S’
My sister is in Germany and sent me this picture.
That’s how you spell it: just like the bottle says.
She managed to find a coke with her name on it, too, though spelling was never an issue.
We are sisters.

That’s so sweet of your sister! ❤️😊
Yes! She said I was with her in Germany! 🙂
Aw!! 🥹❤️😊
wow – why do they have names on the bottles in Germany? It is pretty fun but wonder why
I don’t know! I wondered why, too! Maybe just a current promotion. 🙂
yes- must be promo “;)
We have them in the UK too
so cool
I have been so amused over the years by all the quirky names we find in the Connecticut market. I love that your sister found the right spelling in Europe.
Since almost everyone on this side of the pond,spells Susanne with a z, it was fun to find it ‘right’ in Germany!
Having taught for 31 years, I saw the same names spelled in many different ways. Do you remember this song by Journey?
I bet you did see lots of different spellings!
Most people here spell Susanne with a ‘z’, though in Germany it appears that ‘s’ is common. And I am of German ancestry so maybe that’s why I ended up with the ‘s.’
I don’t know this song, but I always think of the one, Suzanne takes you down to a place by the river, which I never liked! 😉 🙂
I am also Susanne and hate it being pronounced Suzanne, as everyone does. My father is Hungarian and I’m apparently named after his great Aunty pronounced Susanna, needless to say I just call myself Sue.
curious though Susanne, how do you pronounce it? Susan or Suzanne
Pronounced like Suzanne, with emphasis on second syllable.
How lovely of your sister! I know what you mean about name spellings as too often people spell mine as ‘Sara’ without the H 🤨
It’s so nice when they get it right!
We have an issue with the American-British S/Z thing here. We spell most words with an S rather than Z, but Citizen with a Z. (Which we call Zed, not Zee). I have seen your name spelled Suzanne and Susanne here, but I would always use S as a default. I could go on and on, but will spare you. 😊
Best wishes, Pete.
Ah, okay. Most people spell it with a ‘z’ here, so even when I sign my name or close my post with an ‘s’ in the spelling, comments and replies most often return to me with the ‘z’ spelling. It was fun to see it spelled with an ‘s’ on the Coke bottle, the more common German spelling.
Ha! Susanne is perfect and that your sister finally found it in Germany is great!! I’ve seen the bottles here – most often at gas stations… it’s been out there for a couple years so probably winding down in the US… I’ve never seen my name on a bottle but my husband’s name is all over the place. When I was a kid we went on vacation and my grandmother bought us all key chains with our names on them – except they didn’t have Valerie so I ended up with one that said “Sugar” Not a nickname I ever had…
I haven’t seen any Coke bottles here with names on them. And if they did put my name on it in the US I suspect they’d do it with a ‘z.’ Even when I sign my name with ‘Susanne’ people reply to me as ‘Suzanne’ so it was fun to see it spelled ‘correctly’ in Germany! 🙂 I’m surprised that Valerie didn’t show up on key chains here. Neither did Susanne, only Susan, or Suzanne.
All I ever saw with a V was Vicki/Vickie/Vicky and of course Victoria!
oh what fun – and how fabulous they spelt it right!
It was a treat to see it spelled right, and on a Coke bottle! ☺️
I remember once a long time ago they came out with Coke bottles with names on them. (Or was it Pepsi?) I’ve also seen a lot of different name spellings after teaching for 30 years. My parents chose the spelling of my name, Debra, over the Biblical version, Deborah, because they thought it would be easier for me to learn to spell. I can’t tell you how many versions of it people come up with! 😂😂
I don’t remember Coke bottles with names, but then again, I’m a Pepsi drinker! I never thought about different versions of Debra, but I do know at least two! My name has many versions and nicknames including, Susanne, Susan, Suzanne, Sue, Susie, Suzee, etc..
🙂 🙂 And I’ve known all of them!
It’s fun to see how they spell it on the cups at Starbucks. My sister spells her name out for them every time, (it’s Gail), but I don’t, because it doesn’t bother me if they spell it wrong, plus I like to see what they’ll put. I’ve seen Debbra, Debrah, Debbrah, and more! But don’t even get people started trying to spell “Debbie”!
