Which do you prefer or do you think it doesn't matter?

I just remembered I work with a Hannah whose surname begins with a H.

BexieID · 25/06/2008 20:46

oops, wrong Hannah thread!

HanniJay · 27/06/2008 21:28

Hannah, absolutely. Do have a little bit of a biased opinion though....

babyinarms · 27/06/2008 23:04

Hannah...love it.

Hannah, unless you or your DH/DP have a cultural connection to one of the other spellings.

mysteryfairy · 29/06/2008 15:17

Hanna is the nurse in The English Patient and for that reason I've always liked that spelling

My DD is Hana, it was my DH choice. It means happiness in Arabic as well as the Japanese meaning. We are neither Japanese or Arabic. I was not convinced at first, but now it fits her perfectly.

Whatever you choose it will be right:>

hana is also a czech version

Hannah

I like them all. But everyone will just spell it Hannah if you live in the UK, and the poor girl will spend her life correcting people. I think if you use it as a middle name then you have a little more lee-way with unusual forms/spellings... well in my opinion anyway.

Hannah

Always the palindromic Hannah

notsoteenagemum · 21/03/2009 15:05

Dd's middle name is Hanna, its passed down from my Swedish great-great grandma. People always ask if it is with or without h on the end so I don't think it would be a problem, but we live in Wales and I think maybe the Welsh is Hanna too.
Personally Hannah makes me want to say Hann-ahhh.
Don't like Hana sorry.

Hannah

Hannah

If she wants to spell it another way when she is older it's her choice
