See what nickname grows on your Shoshana. They are all so cute!

Yup, I'm a "Shana" -- I started using it as a teenager because people would call me "Shoshi", which I hated, hated, hated!

There are only two problems: first, people tend to spell it "Shawna", which is difficult in this day of email. No matter how many times I spell out "s-h-a-n-a-@-whatever.com", they still complain that I don't get their emails sent to "shawna@whatever.com".

The second problem is that occasionally people don't recognize it as a Jewish name, and I'll get some overeager kiruv worker asking if I have a "Jewish" name he/she can use.

Even though Shoshana is actually my middle name, and I go by my first name, I've often thought of changing to Shosh! The only reason why I don't is that I think it would cause too much confusion.

My daughter is Shana. We actually named her Shoshana cause I love the name Shana. Only problem is that people often call her Shaina

I have a friend Shana too... and a friend Shosh too... I think shosh is not as nice as Shana. With such a beautiful name like shoshana Shosh does not do it justice.
