HI
I'm struggling a bit as I like 3 or 4 names or combos of them - would be interested to hear what you think!

Hannah Grace
Hannah Isabella
Hannah Joy
Bella Grace
Isabella Grace

I know they are all quite similar!

Thanks for reading.

I like Hannah Grace best.

CristinaTheAstonishing · 14/12/2010 17:28

Hannah Joy because it's a bit different.

Highlandgirl · 14/12/2010 17:29

Hannah Grace...!

EauRudolph · 14/12/2010 17:30

I like Hannah Joy too.

ValiumShimmer · 14/12/2010 17:35

Joy is the name on that list that stands out. it's a mn though. Can you call her Joy Isabella.

I don't think hannah isabella flows very well. hannah joy flows much better.

Hannah Joy

RatherBeOnTheMulledWine · 14/12/2010 17:41

Bella Grace for me!
My best friends middle name is joy and it has always haunted her.

freerangeeggs · 14/12/2010 17:46

Hannah actually means 'grace'.

My DP's nieces are called Hannah and Grace Isabella :)

They're all extremely popular, though of course there's no reason why that should bother you.

I like Bella. Bella Grace is pretty.

MrsJohnDeere · 14/12/2010 17:47

Hannah Joy

5GoldenFimbos · 14/12/2010 17:49

How about Isabella Joy?

muminheels · 14/12/2010 17:56

Thanks so much for all the feedback - really interesting! I am 90% sure on Hannah as first name - and Joy is a name that came to me more recently...Hannah Joy is , I think, a bit different. I do love Isabella and Grace as middle names but as someone pointed out they are VERY popular. My worry is that while I have always loved the name Hannah (and it has a special significance for me and DH), maybe it is becoming so popular that she'll be in a class full of Hannahs?? It's a minefield eh! x

I was going to say the same as free range eggs re their meanings - Hannah meaning 'grace' - might be slightly strange to put them together even though it does sound nice. My beautiful neice is called Isabelle Grace and gets called Bella so i'd have to say the latter two get my vote. Xmas Smile

Northernrose · 14/12/2010 18:02

Ah..crossposts!!

Go for the name you love, we chose Anna for our DD because we LOVE it, and if I meet other baby Anna's (only actually met one despite everyone banging on about popularity!!) I just think it's a lovely name! If it's special to you and DH and you love it then be confident to go for it! Xmas Smile

muminheels · 14/12/2010 18:05

aww, thanks northernrose, that's good advice.

My favourite is Isabella Joy - but you haven't listed that combo!

Of the ones you've listed, Isabella Grace is my favourite.

NadiaWadia · 14/12/2010 19:18

Another vote for Isabella Grace - very popular but lovely.

bensonbutnohedges · 14/12/2010 19:47

My friend's daughter is Hannah Joy. She hates the name Joy.

Tori27 · 14/12/2010 21:53

I love Isabella Grace (which you could shorten to Bella or Izzy. Good luck.

muminheels · 14/12/2010 21:57

Thanks Tori27. Yes, i think i am vering most towards:

Hannah (plus TBC middle name from the list!!)
Isabella Grace

PracticallyImperfectInEveryWay · 14/12/2010 23:19

I realise it's not on your list, but I know a Hannah Louise and I always loved the sound of her name :).

Of those on your list I like Hannah Grace (despite the double meaning).

AllieW · 15/12/2010 13:12

Hannah Grace or Hannah Joy.

You might also like Hannah Faith?

muminheels · 15/12/2010 16:54

Thanks ladies - Hannah Faith is lovely, hadn't thought of that.
