DC3 is going to be our DD2.

I love Hannah, DH loves Nicola. Your thoughts?

Another vote for Hannah

I love Hannah, but quite like Nicola too. There won't be nearly so many as with the whole NickyNikki thing of the 70s.

Both nice! I think also Hannah hit its peak around 15-20 yrs ago, so isn't that common anymore.

Hannah!

Nowt wrong with the 70's but it was the decade in which I was born and I went to school with a few Nicola and Nichola's.

Nicola, much more unusual, you'll find masses of Hannahs. Nice nick names too!

Hannah, by a country mile

thing

I always think Nicole sounds a bit like someone who works in a nightclub. Not necessarily the stripper but maybe the cocktail waitress...

cyteen · 10/01/2010 18:27

Um, neither (IMO obviously). But if you must pick one, I suppose Hannah is okay and sounds less like those Ricola boiled sweets.

bellissima · 10/01/2010 18:26

What's wrong with the 70s!

Only think wrong with Nicola is that if you have continental connections they will think from the sound that it is a boy's name.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 10/01/2010 17:23

I like Nicola. Hannah very popular again.

ilovepiccolina · 10/01/2010 17:22

Not Nicola, don't know why but I never liked it. Hannah is classy.

bidibidi · 10/01/2010 17:21

I much prefer Nicola; DS3 might well have been Nicola if he hadn't been a DS. Hannah is quite overdone nowadays, imho.

suwoo · 10/01/2010 17:06

Nicola is a bit 1970's isn't it. Prefer Hannah.

petitmaman · 10/01/2010 17:05

I like nicola but think it would be shortened to nicky which I can't stand so Hannah.

LynetteScavo · 10/01/2010 17:03

Hannah is slightly better than Nicola.

randomimposter · 10/01/2010 17:02

Hannah or Nicole? Not keen on Nicola...

What are the sibling names, I like to see the whole picture

Pineapplechunks · 10/01/2010 16:27

I'm with you OP, deffo Hannah.
