Sweet jesus no. Unless you want people like me singing at the poor child.

It might be OK, but probably only works if you belong to a fervent branch of Christianity.

I think it would be nice in a more christian country or Africa but I think it might cause some giggles at school here for her in this secular society! Its a shame because Its a nice name and idea though.

a Hosanna used to chase ds round the playground and try to kiss him

her sister was called Blessed, iirc

I think quite fondly of the name. I think tis rather sweet

I don't mind it being "funny" in school. I went to a hideous boarding school with an Araminta and she survived Hmm

Have my doubts with "Ho" unless it's shortened to "Anna" which is pointless as I dislike it. Hmm.

What about Josie or Susannah, or Gloria!!

Hosanna is silly. Ho for short is asking for trouble.

I know a little girl called Sanne (pronounced Zanner). Similar, but much nicer.
