This poor girl!įor the audio version of this story, I was lucky enough to be able to choose narrators I love (shout out to Callie Dalton and Teddy Hamilton, who I began stalking after hearing them read From Lukov with Love (and Dear Aaron) by the wonderful Mariana Zapata!) but I didn’t get to interact with the narrators directly to mention the pronunciation of Sanna’s name. If she corrects them, she inevitably has to mention that it’s really pronounced liked the Sanna in Susanna… and then the song starts. And it drives her crazy, but everybody pronounces her nickname Sahna. This scene was inspired by a real friend named Susanna who goes by Sanna for this exact reason. Therefore, at a young age, she shortened her name to distance herself from the obligatory serenading. There was a scene where Sanna explains to Breslin that she grew up with people singing the song “Oh Susana!”–and she hated it. In Blind Fall, the name Sanna is short for Susanna. It’s slow-going as far as site updates, but here’s a fun little trivia bite for now: =D
