Which do you prefer or do you think it doesn't matter?

Definitely Hannah.

My dd's name is Hanna and it is spelled correctly. It is a Polish version of 'Hannah'.

It's also got a lovely pet version 'Hania'which I use to call my dd.

(oh, and she's terribly pleased that her name is a palindrome )

Hana is the japanese form the name, & a friend & his japanese wife have called their little girl this. which is perfect. but i'd go for hannah if you're not japanese/have links there. imo.

Hannah definitely

geekgirl · 21/06/2008 08:21

I have a Hannah and people always spell it right, never any problems. I really wouldn't spell it any other way though - everyone assumes it's spelled 'Hannah'.

Although round where I live it just gets pronounced Anna.

Hannah - no question. There is nothing worse than changing the spelling of a name to appear "different" or "trendy".

Hannah, I like names spelt correctly - I think variations look like you're trying too hard to be different and she'll spend her life having to spell it for people - Hannah is also lovely because its the same backwards would go well with Ava!

Hannah, or she'll go through life having to spell her name out for people. Although it's probably one of those names that people would spell wrong anyway. We loved Hannah, but decided on Anna for a girl in the end. As we've had 2 DS's, it was never used.

Hannah. No questions.
