I post on here all the time but that is because I am indecisive. Mostly about girls - we have decided on a boy's name. I am not due until Dec so expect many more posts...

Anyway at the moment it is Anna or Hannah - what do you prefer? Anna is new testment and Hannah is old testament and as a rule I prefer Old testament names but that is perhaps a little silly.

I prefer Anna, myself; sounds more dainty and doll-like. Hannah sounds harsher.

Hannah.

I like both of these and was considering the same thing when pregnant with DD2. I settled on Anna, but honestly, both are lovely imo.

Both are nice but I prefer Hannah Smile

I prefer Hannah. Anna always sounds to me like it's short for something, am sure many disagree though.

Anna sounds fresher somehow.
