"Susan stared at herself critically.
Susan...it wasn't a good name, was it? It wasn't a truly BAD name, it wasn't like poor Iodine in the fourth form, or Nigella, a name which means 'oops, we wanted a boy'. But it was DULL. Susan. Sue. Good old Sue. It was a name that made sandwiches, kept its head in difficult circumstances and could reliably look after other people's children.
It was a name used by no queens or goddesses anywhere."
Any suggestions as to where this might come from?
