I post on here all the time but that is because I am indecisive. Mostly about girls - we have decided on a boy's name. I am not due until Dec so expect many more posts...

Anyway at the moment it is Anna or Hannah - what do you prefer? Anna is new testment and Hannah is old testament and as a rule I prefer Old testament names but that is perhaps a little silly.

I like Anna but that's because it's one of my names!
(Hannah is also nice but I know the H would be dropped a lot by the people I know and it would wind me up!)

Anna Wink

Both are nice, not sure which i prefer, you can't go wrong. I guess I slightly prefer Hannah.

My youngest is called Hannah. Im not a big fan of shortened names so would be scared that anna would turn into ann

I like them both. If I ever have another daughter she'll proaaablt be called AnnA

Both are lovely, but Hannah has the edge

It's hard to believe but I know someone who had two daughters - called Anna and Hannah! Even sillier that she lived in Yorkshire where the h is dropped anyway! Either is pretty.
