I love the sound of Susquehanna, but I'm afraid it always brings to mind a childhood filled with Abbott and Costello movies, and the routine about the Susquehanna Hat Company. ("Susquehanna?!? Susquehanna ?!!!! My brother was killed wearing a Susquehanna Hat!! If he'd been wearing a decent hat when that piano fell on him out of that third-storey window, he might be alive today!!")

Rather takes the gloss off the word.
