Examples

Susan and she - God rest all Christian souls! - / Were of an age. Well, Susan is with God; / She was too good for me.”
“"With all my heart, though I have not an idea who little Susan may be. But I have a kindness for all Susans, for simple Susan's sake.”
“My own 'reaction' to the name Susan is a vision of a sturdy young woman garbed in 'print' and armed with a mop or other domestic implement, a picture compounded of a succession of domestic Susans passing before the eyes of early childhood. […] It is symptomatic of the game of general post now being played by the classes and the masses that Susan is taking refuge, with Betty, Peggy, Jane and Ann, among the aristocracy, while Gladys and Muriel reign below stairs,”
Susan, they called her. They chose a name that resembled the name she had come with, Sooki, and also it was a comfortable sound for Iranians to pronounce. "Su-san!" Maryam would sing when she went in to get her from her nap. "Su-Su-Su!" Even on issues pertaining to their daughter, the Yazdans took a very different approach. Imagine changing that charming name, Sooki, part of her native heritage, to plain old Susan!”
Advertisers from both sides in the officially nonpartisan contest have already combined to spend more than $70 million on the 2025 race, according to data from the ad tracking firm AdImpact. Supporters of the liberal candidate, Dane County Circuit Judge Susan Crawford, have outspent supporters of the conservative candidate, Waukesha County Circuit Judge Brad Schimel, by about $40 million to $33 million.”
