If you had named your first child Hosanna...

I've name changed for this, because with a kid called Hosanna I'm hardly one of thousands in the UK (!)...

My husband is Zimbabwean and we were living over there when our daughter was born. It's more normal over there to have, what in the UK would be considered, unusual names, and we both liked the name, so Hosanna she is.

We're now in the UK and get a lot of "Susannah? Savanna? Rosanna?" type responses when we introduce her... which is fine, people tend to be able to cope with her name once they've worked it out!

We're imminently due our second, no idea of sex, and I'm wondering whether to go "weird" (in UK terms) again, or something more mainstream...

We've got a bit of a list going, but I'm curious to hear what others would do. (Obviously, going by stats, most of you wouldn't name your firstborn 'Hosanna'! But please for the sake of this question pretend you did!).

So, what would you name your next child, based on this info?!

Super curious about what Hosanna's siblings are called? :)

GLOOOOoooOOOOooOOOOoooOOOooOOOOOOOOoooOOOORIA

Very pretty name.

I would probably balance it with a more mainstream name. I find it more interesting when siblings have slightly incongruous sib sets like Acacia and Lucy rather than Emma and Lucy. But then again maybe not. I don't know what I'm on about I've gone insane.
