Hannah or Holly?

Which do you like best?

My friend thinks Holly is a bit dated to the 90s?

Is Hannah more timeless?

Both nice, but I prefer Holly.

Or Anna instead of Hannah.

Richlinn · 23/02/2011 20:01

Hannah

Loolah · 23/02/2011 20:02

I like Holly but hen i do have a Hollie myself :-)

Theantsgomarching · 23/02/2011 20:04

Hannah....I can't hear Holly with thinking of poor Holly Wells Sad

cocoachannel · 23/02/2011 20:06

Hannah edges it for me, but I like them both.

flower38 · 23/02/2011 20:09

Holly is Lovely don't think Hannah is as nice prefer Anna.

christabell · 23/02/2011 20:12

Definitely Hannah, it is much nicer. Holly too cutesy.

Kateymw · 23/02/2011 20:25

Holly

CPtart · 23/02/2011 20:31

Hannah - more classy.

Flower38 · 23/02/2011 20:38

Holly just a nicer sound and i know so many hannahs

berryshake · 23/02/2011 21:01

TheAntsGoMarching - seriously? Confused

crashingwaves · 23/02/2011 22:00

I wouldn't necessarily connect it to Holly Wells! I think Holly is very 'young' as a name, though. Plus, all Hannahs are gorgeous, intelligent and incredible: it's a fact ;)

Maud2011 · 23/02/2011 22:02

Hannah - lovely and more timeless than Holly, I think.

Ondine · 23/02/2011 22:11

I prefer Holly, don't see it as a 90's name.

Hannah I'm not keen on, a bit dull. Anna is v. lovely though.

OliveMalay · 23/02/2011 22:30

Both nice but I prefer Holly :)

plonkerr · 23/02/2011 22:40

Both lovely ...and I've never met a horrible one of either Smile

5DollarShake · 23/02/2011 23:41

I prefer Holly.

Hannah's a bit meh.

Greenwing · 23/02/2011 23:58

Hannah - more classic and better for an adult.

muminthemiddle · 24/02/2011 00:06

Ooooh both quite similar but if pushed I would choose Hannah.

Pprabbit · 24/02/2011 06:51

Like both but think Holly has the edge.

tuggy · 24/02/2011 08:49

Vote for Holly. Think Hannah is a bit boring.

CupAndSaucer · 24/02/2011 08:50

Both nice names but I think I prefer Hannah.

Greendress · 24/02/2011 15:55

Holly by far

chrisrobin · 24/02/2011 15:58

Hannah, an ageless name

Busspuzzle · 24/02/2011 16:10

Holly ive met three ages from 50 to a baby and all were beautiful.
