    • 1765, Laurence Sterne, chapter VIII, in Tristram Shandy:
      And trust me, Susy, added the corporal, turning to Susannah, whose eyes were swimming with water, before that time comes round again, a bright eye will be dim.
    • 1985, Margaret Yorke, Intimate Kill, page 54:
      Had she changed the baby's name? They had decided to call her Susannah for no very clear reason; they had both liked it, and it seemed to fit the crumpled little face.
