I like it. It also happens to be my Hebrew name.

Very lovely name.

Go w/it!

I think it's very pretty. It also reminds me of the Lewis & Clark Expedition and the Shoshone, Native American tribe.

Sounds to me like a made up stereotypical Jewish name - like what Seinfeld's girlfriend would be named as someone said.

I think it's pretty, but i probably wouldn't use it if I weren't Jewish.

It isn't made up.

I've seen it spelled Shoshanna, which I prefer. I used to dislike it but I had grown on me.

I don't like it all. It doesn't sound professional.

Which just goes to show that some people perceive any non-WASP name as unprofessional. Shoshanna is a traditional Jewish name. The only reason you don't think it's "professional" is because you haven't heard it much. I work with people with all sorts of names, many of which I had to learn to pronounce. It never crossed my mind that any of them or their names were "unprofessional." Just foreign-sounding to me.

Wasn't Shoshana the character on Girls that had the abortion? I'm Catholic too and that's my only association with the character. It would make me uncomfortable.
Congratulations on the adoption!
