2nd DC but first DD due in February and DH and I have whittled down our names to just two: Mona and Hannah, we really can't decide, so I just wanted to see what others thought.

DS is called Finley if that makes a difference.

Hannah is nicer I think. Mona could be open to name calling eg 'moaner'

MrsJayy · 21/10/2016 11:31

Hannah but im biased. I wanted to call dd Anna dh didnt like it but add an H and he loved it Confused

HairsprayBabe · 21/10/2016 11:32

Hannah, all the very best, smartest, most creative, kind and loveliest people are called Hannah!

But I may be biased as I am one Wink

Sophronia · 21/10/2016 11:35

Hannah

HerSpookyFattyness · 21/10/2016 11:37

Hannah.

MrsJayy · 21/10/2016 11:37

Cant disagree with that Hairspray I don't think Hannah dates or fades you will always find a Hannah dotted about of all ages. My old Brownie leader was Hannah she died recently she was the loveliest kindest women i have ever met

Hannah, by absolute miles.

100% Hannah but like pp I may be biased Wink

Hullabaloo31 · 21/10/2016 11:41

I have a little 18 mo Hannah and get a lot of lovely comments, mainly about not knowing many tiny Hannah's and how it's a name dotted about through age groups, as another poster said.

She was never going to be a Hannah, but when she arrived she wasn't any of the names we'd picked! I have a little boy with a hebrew name too, and I just love the symmetry of it written down.

daisiesinherfootsteps · 21/10/2016 11:42

Hannah. By miles and miles. Goes really well with Finlay too.

roseteapot101 · 21/10/2016 11:42

hanna

Jenijena · 21/10/2016 11:44

Hannah... that would be my daughter's name... love my boys but found it much harder to name them!

Really surprised at the overwhelming response in favour of Hannah, I was sure comments would be 50/50. Shock

I suppose we'll be going with Hannah, I do love it, it's not that popular at the moment which is a plus.

In defence of Mona, it is a very lovely name, even with the 'moaner' association.

I am a Hannah and I love my name Smile

SpidersFromMars · 21/10/2016 11:48

Hannah definitely

MrsJayy · 21/10/2016 11:51

Hanna also means happiness in arabic . Woman who worked in a hotel shop told us that 1 year on holiday .

ageingrunner · 21/10/2016 11:52

I like Ramona, but not Mona. Hannah's still much nicer though

Chinlo · 21/10/2016 11:59

I like Hannah a lot.

Not a fan of Mona at all.

MotherDuckSaid · 21/10/2016 12:11

I LOVE Mona!

TheHiphopopotamus · 21/10/2016 12:15

I like Mona. It's not a name you hear much these days.

Not keen on Hannah, but it's not an awful name.

Cocochoco · 21/10/2016 12:18

I like Hannah, too. Dd has a friend called Muna, which might be an alternative to Mona?

daisydalrymple · 21/10/2016 12:22

Hannah definitely
