Love Hannah Grace. Also love Eilidh! Sorry, not much help!

Mummyshortlegz · 10/10/2016 11:34

Hairspray I am also Hannah and also through the same. I think it's more obvious if it's your name than to an outsider.

HairsprayBabe · 10/10/2016 11:25

I am a Hannah, and Hannah comes from the Hebrew name Channah meaning "favour" or "grace".

So I wouldn't go for Hannah Grace as you are essentially calling your child Grace Grace!

Eilidh is beautiful, but might be a pain in England.

Hannah Grace is fine. Elizabeth Grace or Elspeth Grace.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 09/10/2016 23:00

Hannah is nice.

Eilidh is gorgeous - really pretty.

I really don't like the name Grace though. It's just a really ugly sound to my ears.

There's nothing wrong with Hannah, but I think it's a very "beige" name. I never think Hannahs are very interesting for that reason... Blush

CordeliaFrost · 08/10/2016 20:24

Hannah (aka Channah) is the Hebrew word for grace, so to me (I'm a Hebrew speaker), it's the same as naming your daughter Grace Grace. Admittedly that's a very niche thing though!

On top of that, Grace is so overdone as a middle name, there must be thousands of Hannah Graces out there. I'd go with Hannah Eilidh, as it's different.

Lovely

Twoseventhsaweasley · 08/10/2016 17:13

Hannah Grace is beautiful. If any of my sons had been girls we would have used it.

Ohdofuckoffplease · 08/10/2016 15:11

Both options are very nice, but I think Hannah Eilidh just inches it for me.

beautiful namesSmile

Wanderingbluebell · 07/10/2016 21:36

I know a Hannah Grace and think it's a lovely name

Lubyl00 · 07/10/2016 20:26

I taught an Eilidh and she was one of the loveliest girls I have come across. Beautiful name, though she will spend her life explaining how to pronounce it...

No, I'm in England but I have Scottish heritage and love Scottish names Smile

I have an Eilidh, it is my favourite name Grin

We are Scottish but live in England. No one ever knows how to pronounce it at first but they quickly learn.

Hannah Grace is beautiful too.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 07/10/2016 20:19

Hannah Grace is lovely

allegretto · 07/10/2016 20:15

Ah I see! I like it but I think I prefer Hannah.

Littleelffriend · 07/10/2016 20:14

It depends where you're from, are you in Scotland?

I like Hannah Grace. A lot.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 07/10/2016 20:03

I don't like Eilidh , unless said very carefully it sounds like you've dropped the H from Haley. Avoid if you're anywhere near Sarf Easy London Wink

chinlo · 07/10/2016 19:59

Like it a lot.

HelenaJustina · 07/10/2016 19:58

I love Hannah! Only know one adult one, she is a mw and gorgeous. Definitely underused.

PandaG · 07/10/2016 19:56

Hannah means Grace, so in effect you would be naming her Grace Grace. Lovely names though!
