Noorster tagged me. YEAH! I love being tagged. But then it's only my second time. I guess if I got tagged every day my attitude might alter slightly. Or a lot. In the meantime...

Isn't Sussa a female horse?
Bloody probably it is, Nicole. As if the name weren't bad enough. geez
In Yiddish "Sussa" is probably "sweety" or "sweetness". Depending on how it's actually written and pronounced, "libba" could be life or love (or perhaps several other things, but let's go for the positive). So you're Yiddish name is something like "Sweet life" or "Sweet love". Could be worse - you could have been "Yenta" :)
Mrs. Swollen says that Libba means "beloved" and thinks that Sussa is a diminutive of Suzanna which was a very popular a name in eastern Europe. Of course Sussa also means female horse but that's probably from the Cherokee side :)

Hey! Libba is my Yiddish name! Whaddaya know?
I was double-tagged on this, but the other tag only requires five things. Hmmmm... :-D
See! So I'm not the only person who has parents that give quirkly Yiddish names that supposedly mean horse. Thanks, guys, (*sigh*) for the moral support and backing. I'll take "sweet" and "dear" over "horse", any day thanks very much.
