Dated? Nice? What's the feel?

I have a 20 year old Hannah and a 79 year old aunt called Zoe!

I like it, and know a few of assorted ages from 40s to toddler. I do prefer Anna though.

I always associate Zoe with mid 70s. There were 8 others in my sister Zoe's year at school.

I really like it :) I know a few who are 20s/30s, one over 60 and one toddler! It's classic and won't date. And it's a palindrome :)

Love it! It's my sisters name but I would have definitely wanted to use it if I had had a girl!

Love it. Pretty, easy to spell and it"s a palindrome. Plus I've never met a Hannah I didn't like.

I may well be biased Smile

I'm a Hannah and I do get called Hannah Spanner but I'm not scarred for life by it! My best friend's DD is called Hannah and they have called her Hannah Spanner since birth thinking it would make her immune to teasing and when she started school she or called Hannah Montana!

I know 3 under 2 and 2 over 25. I call 1 of them (over 25) spandooler (affectionately of course). Its a nice name (hannah that is).

I like it. to me it's a bit like Zoe in that it's pretty classless and not likely to date.

I like it. Spelt the same backwards as well Grin

Very nice. Will never be a disability unless your surname is Spanner.

Hannah is a bit dull IMO. Think Anna is a bit cooler. Depends what you're after though I suppose. And Helena is quite nice - but pronounced he-len-a as opposed to He-lane-a.

lovely name, down point is she may get the nickname spanner like a Hannah I know does.

I have a Hanna - probably wouldn't have chosen it if my DH wasn't Muslim and we had to have a name that was Arabic and English but love it now.

Hannah and Anna are both nice names. Quite safe though

We've got a Hannah (nearly 3) not met any others her age - we love the name

I've always loved it, was v keen for DD to be Hannah (or DS had he been a girl.) Lots of Hannahs round here and DH not keen. I think it's a lovely name.

I think it's a very sweet name :)

We considered this for dd (who's now 11!), but rejected it because it was everywhere then.

I know a Hannah, she's 9, and she's just such a lovely girl. So calm, and fun, and loving.

Love it, but my SIL is Hannah and I love her so that might be why!

It was my choice is number four was a girl, he was a boy .... :)

Want a number 5 so I can use it.

It means God is gracious. Certainly not common any more.
