Hannah has a softer sound to it.

Yes the Ha is a different sound.

ERthree · 18/06/2025 13:01

I love the name. I know a Hannah Claire and a Hannah- Jo

I don’t love it but it’s fine 🤷‍♀️ It’s classic but it was very popular from the 80s onwards. It has been working its way down the top 100 for the past 15 years. Despite being a classic, if it is becoming less popular, you might find it is associated with a particular age group, like Sarah, but not in such a negative way as names like Sharon or Tracy IYSWIM?

I really like Hannah (prefer it to Anna).

It’s lovely. Original and cute. I would use it.

ginasevern · 18/06/2025 13:50

At last, a lovely "proper" name!

Iloveeverycat · 18/06/2025 13:51

Middle name Lucy

Sallysinnermum · 18/06/2025 14:27

Beautiful name. I know a 16 year old Hannah and a 90 year old Hannah. Both so lovely. Hannah Amelia is pretty, that's the youngest Hannah's name

CherryPinkAppleBlossomWhite · 18/06/2025 14:38

I have a Hannah. I think it's a beautiful, classy, timeless name. Middle name Clare.

Hannah Skye is lovely! Go for it!

HugoYorway · 18/06/2025 15:25

Not keen on Skye, it seems a bit downmarket compared to Hannah.

kentgardens · 18/06/2025 15:32

I have a 36 year old Hannah and I don’t think she’s ever been confused with Anna. She is Hannah Lucy which I still love obviously!

Torkieshorkie · 18/06/2025 15:33

Sorry but I think it’s a really ugly frumpy name

What’s everyone’s opinion of Hannah Skye

It doesn't matter what the middle name is.

NewLifter · 18/06/2025 15:36

I love it. I very strongly disagree that its an old lady name. The oldest Hannah I know is around 40 and I've known a few baby Hannahs over the last year even (I'm a midwife). It's a popular name and definitely not associated with being old fashioned!

BoleynMemories13 · 18/06/2025 17:31

I love a traditional classic, so it's a yes for me. It's surprisingly low in the charts now.

I would use a middle name with meaning, maybe a family name?

Cocktailsandcheese · 18/06/2025 17:48

Really nice name 😌

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 18/06/2025 18:02

Move to West Yorkshire.
Call her Hannah and it'll be pronounced Anna anyway.

rhrni · 18/06/2025 18:05

I don’t love it, but that’s because there were loads of Hannah’s in my class at school (I’m 35 now).

It feels ‘dated’ to me, but everyone else seems to love it so feel free to ignore me!!

PinkSwatch · 18/06/2025 18:11

DiamondThrone · 18/06/2025 11:37

There seemed to be a lot around who would be about twenty five now.

Mine's 18! 😂

Yuja · 18/06/2025 18:25

I love Hannah. Would have been DC2 if he had been a girl!

IsItWickedNotToCare · 18/06/2025 18:27

I agree that Anna is nicer IMO, but really it's up to you 😊
