Anna. I have a friend called Annah, which could be a combination of the two, but she is forever spelling her name to people.

Anna definitely! Hannah has a completely different feel to it and there's no comparrisson.

Well, there you go then! Grin

Anna I think, although I also like Hana (Japanese spelling, means flower). Not sure if you could get away with it without a J connection though.

Anna!

Hannah definately for me but it depends on the surname really.

I wouldn't use an A initial if it meant the name read as a sentence ie A Hill or A Curtain or A Man. ( This stems from having knowing someone who was called Henrietta Man)

exoticfruits · 27/08/2011 09:16

Hannah (but I like them both)

LetThereBeRock · 27/08/2011 10:02

Hannah.

Definitely Hannah. I've only ever known horrible Annas.
