So this is totally off topic, but is the spelling of her name Siouxsie common in NZ or maybe Australia or elsewhere? I've only seen Siouxsie spelled that way once, so I'm just curious if she was maybe named after Siouxsie Sioux or this is a common spelling that I've just never seen.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoAustralian here, never met or heard of anyone in Australia with 'Suzy' spelled like that. Looks like she changed her name to that: Siouxsie Wiles MNZM (born Susanna Wiles) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxsie_Wiles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siouxsie_Wiles
- darren_ 6y agoNZer, never seen it before
- ecornflak 6y agoNah, its not common. She's a "cool" science communicator complete with pink hair to appeal to the kids. (That's not to undermine her at all, she's fantastic.)
