Is there any chance Sussa could be Bessie?
In the birth and baptisms for Saint Paul Deptford are a
Margaret May on 21 May 1899 daughter of Thomas and Elizabeth Loveridge of 54 Hale Street. Thomas is a costermonger.
Henry born Feb 25 1897 baptised 21 March,
to Elizabeth and Thomas, a hawker, living at 52 Hale Street then.
Obviously the ones Blue Eyes found in 1901.
No sign of a John baptised to Thomas and ? ***? though.

You are right.
I'm getting into a right muddle with the Thomas names and getting no nearer to the answer to the original question.
It could well have been "Marry-la-bone" but other Londoners may say it differently, especially the costermongers who spoke a language that was completely different.
There is more on the Loveridge family here.

The best way to find out the mother's name would be to get a copy of the birth certificate for one of her children.

At the moment we only know of John as their son and I cannot, for the life of me, find a John Loveridge birth or baptism around 1904 in Deptford, (Greenwich registration district).
Curiosity got the better of me and I have looked at the original.
Thomas wrote his 'L' very similar to his 'S' (as in Loveridge and Single). It certainly looks like Sussa but could be Lussa or Lissa as he did not dot the i in Loveridge.
Thomas wrote her birth place as Meybourn, quite clearly, and I think he would have written it different had it been Marylebone. He seems quite literate so I think he would have not have wrote Marylebone the same as he said it.

Blue eyes, my wife pronounce Marylebone as Marleybon it still makes me cringe. This seems to be the BBC way of pronouncing it now, they do have offices in Marylebone High Street.
I was born in Marylebone and have always pronounced it "Marra bourne" My school was at the rear of St Marylebone Parish Church, this was St Mary's and it was by the bourne hence the name. I've seen early references to St Marylebone spelt Marybone.
