Which way round?

Hannah Katie

Or

Katie Hannah

Both are on our shortlist singularly and we agreed previously that baby will have my maiden name as a middle name but to comprise would we be giving too many names if baby is a girl. Such a minefield 🤯

Katherine Hannah nn Katie

OP I have 3 good friends with the name Hannah. Therefore when I hear it, it doesn’t stand out and personally I think of it a name of my generation rather than a name for a baby. There were loads of girls called Hannah, Katie, Laura, Rachel, Jenny etc at school.
All 3 Hannah’s I am good friends with are strong and caring. If you love it, go for it!

Katie Hannah flows so much nicer than Hannah Katie.
Katie is a perfectly great name in its own right so don't let anyone tell you otherwise. I know so many Katie/Katy's aged between 9 and 60ish and they are all accepted just fine as a Katie/Katy.
It's a lovely classic name that works at any age and Hannah is a really pretty middle name. Beautiful name choice OP ❤️

Katie Hannah

Katie Hannah makes me think of Katie Nanna the grumpy nanny from the start of Mary Poppins 😂 I appreciate that’s a bit niche but I do prefer Hannah Katie or better still Hannah Kate. I work with a short 40ish year old Katie and she acts very juvenile. It’s not a name I like for a grown woman. Catherine would be better.

Both Hannah and Katie are lovely names. Katie is definitely a name in its own right (Kate less so in my opinion) and I know a few in their 30s so I don’t think it sounds juvenile at all! Go with whichever you like best/which flows better with your surname as the first name.

🤔 I'm curious as a few people have commented saying Hannah is a dull / boring name and I wondered why 💜

When I think of a Hannah I see a strong but caring person?

It's our first choice of name if our baby is a girl. Hannah is classic, has a beautiful meaning and for me, represents a very faithful woman in the Old Testament. It's not particularly popular these days, but isn't odd either. IMHO, you can't go wrong with Hannah Katie 🥰

I know several Katie/Katy's where that is their full name. My cousin is called Caitlin which I have always though a lovely name. Pick what you like best, I think I prefer hannah to Katie as a first name overall, but Caitlin and Kate are lovely.

My name is quite literally Hannah Katie so I know which one I prefer!

It’s dull to me because I know of so many around my age (90s baby) and so it feels very of that era. It doesn’t feel classic to my ears in the way that some names do, it feels dull and dated. Anna, however, feels very classic.
