Please help I’m going round in circles between the names Hannah and Freya and would welcome your neutral opinions.

Our surname is Turner. Hannah Turner or Freya Turner?

Hannah, can’t stand Freya and it will date horribly.

Polkasq · 28/09/2018 09:55

Hannah

RedDwarves · 28/09/2018 09:43

Love both, but Hannah is classic, while Freya is having "a moment". If that matters to you, I'd choose Hannah. If not, it's much of a muchness.

ratherbeshowjumping · 28/09/2018 08:36

My vote is for Hannah. I really don't like Freya for some reason

butlerswharf · 28/09/2018 07:56

Love Hannah but really don't like Freya at all. Hannah's much more of a beautiful classic name.

Thanks all. After a count up looks as if Hannah is the favourite.
I just hope she doesn’t get called Spanner Turner but think I’m overthinking it now!

Hannah. More classic. Freya will date

Freya looks more elegant with your surname.

Hannah Turner looks (to me) perfectly pleasant but a sturdy, flat kind of name.

Freya Turner is definitely more elegant looking and sounding. I don't mean elegant in a "posh" way, just more... I don't know... feminine/unique/stronger in a less obvious way.

Freya for me. Both are nice though

BakerBear · 27/09/2018 23:08

I think Anna is better than Hannah

tessiegirl · 27/09/2018 23:04

Freya

Sophronia · 27/09/2018 22:59

Hannah

ButterflyOfFreedom · 27/09/2018 22:01

I much prefer the name Freya but Hannah Turner sounds better

DramaAlpaca · 27/09/2018 21:59

I think Hannah would be my preference.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 27/09/2018 21:57

Ooh OP, I love them both, but Hannah Turner goes a little better, I think.

MewithaC · 27/09/2018 21:51

Definitely Hannah. I have a huge dislike of freya, sounds somewhere between frayed and fray bentos (pie). Just not an attractive name.

Icklepup · 27/09/2018 19:59

Hannah Turner

Toofle · 27/09/2018 19:55

Freya if she's born on a Friday.

Earslaps · 27/09/2018 19:51

Around here Freya is quite popular, Hannah less so. I love Hannah, it's so timeless.

MikeUniformMike · 27/09/2018 19:46

Hannah sounds better with your surname, and I prefer it. Freya was lovely for the first three or four I heard of it but now seems overused. Hannah is a classic.
Han is better than Frey.

saganorenscarandcoat · 27/09/2018 19:45

Hannah Turner is a lovely name

SleepWarrior · 27/09/2018 19:37

Hannah is lovely. Really not keen on Freya for some reason.

17caterpillars1mouse · 27/09/2018 19:15

Love Hannah. Freya is nice too but Hannah is more classical whereas Freya seems a bit faddy

Sunflower321 · 27/09/2018 19:14

I much prefer Hannah

Citylivingwithdogs · 27/09/2018 19:12

Freya. There are a lot of Hannahs around; haven’t come across any Freyas.
