Hannah! Lovely

Ericho · 15/07/2018 13:34

Hannah.

I think Kate is very plain and boring.

AtticaRose · 15/07/2018 13:54

Kate! Great name, very versatile, suits lots of different types of people.

Hannah is also fine - just prefer Kate!

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/07/2018 14:25

Kate

Pudding01 · 15/07/2018 14:29

Kate. Gives the choice to have Katie too if they want it 🙂

I prefer Kate, it's classic and strong. Also far prettier nickname opportunities (Katie, Kat, Kitty) than Hannah.

WhispersOfWickedness · 15/07/2018 14:43

Well, one of those names is mine and I love my name 😁 I do also love Hannah though 😉

grizabelle · 15/07/2018 14:48

I'm a Hannah and I don't love it.

There are no nice shortenings (I can't stand Han, makes me think of Ham).

UrsulaPandress · 15/07/2018 14:50

Hannah.

Biased.

flapjackfairy · 15/07/2018 14:50

Kate. I love it . Simple, pretty and timeless.

Battleax · 15/07/2018 14:50

Kate.

Or Anna.

They’re all very simple names but Hannah screams 80s feather cut and Rimmel lipstick to me.

Susannach · 15/07/2018 14:50

Kate is lovely

DeckSofa · 15/07/2018 15:39

Hannah

HJL2506 · 15/07/2018 17:40

My names Hannah and my best friend is called kate 😬

Frankwindsor · 15/07/2018 17:44

Kate

MikeUniformMike · 15/07/2018 18:13

Both are nice. I'd go for Kate.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 15/07/2018 18:15

Both lovely.

Hannah by a whisker.

WhereIsMyDog · 15/07/2018 18:16

Kate

daisypond · 15/07/2018 18:18

They're OK, but I find them a bit dull. I prefer the longer forms for Kate and I prefer Anna to Hannah. Catherine/Katharine (other forms are available) and Anna are really nice.

MikeUniformMike · 15/07/2018 18:24

Actually I know 2 sisters called Hannah and Kate. Wait until you meet her and decide which one suits her best. I prefer Anna to Hannah if that helps.

blackbirdbluebottle · 15/07/2018 18:25

Kate is very popular now and Hannah is a lovely name, I choose hannah!

DramaAlpaca · 15/07/2018 18:27

Kate.

I've never liked Hannah, but I do really like Anna.

BikeRunSki · 15/07/2018 18:29

I know sisters with these names. I fractionally prefer Kate, because Hannah comes out as Annuh in the local accent.

lemonnmeringuepie · 15/07/2018 18:33

Kate

bella2bella · 15/07/2018 18:34

Love Hannah but also like Kate - lot (I would personally use Catherine and have Kate as a nickname).
