DC3 is going to be our DD2.

I love Hannah, DH loves Nicola. Your thoughts?

I'm with you OP, deffo Hannah.

Hannah or Nicole? Not keen on Nicola...

What are the sibling names, I like to see the whole picture

LynetteScavo · 10/01/2010 17:03

Hannah is slightly better than Nicola.

petitmaman · 10/01/2010 17:05

I like nicola but think it would be shortened to nicky which I can't stand so Hannah.

suwoo · 10/01/2010 17:06

Nicola is a bit 1970's isn't it. Prefer Hannah.

bidibidi · 10/01/2010 17:21

I much prefer Nicola; DS3 might well have been Nicola if he hadn't been a DS. Hannah is quite overdone nowadays, imho.

ilovepiccolina · 10/01/2010 17:22

Not Nicola, don't know why but I never liked it. Hannah is classy.

thighsmadeofcheddar · 10/01/2010 17:23

I like Nicola. Hannah very popular again.

What's wrong with the 70s!

Only think wrong with Nicola is that if you have continental connections they will think from the sound that it is a boy's name.

cyteen · 10/01/2010 18:27

Um, neither (IMO obviously). But if you must pick one, I suppose Hannah is okay and sounds less like those Ricola boiled sweets.

bellissima · 10/01/2010 18:28

thing

I always think Nicole sounds a bit like someone who works in a nightclub. Not necessarily the stripper but maybe the cocktail waitress...

blametheparents · 10/01/2010 18:31

Hannah, by a country mile

cloelia · 10/01/2010 19:35

Nicola, much more unusual, you'll find masses of Hannahs. Nice nick names too!

suwoo · 10/01/2010 20:56

Nowt wrong with the 70's but it was the decade in which I was born and I went to school with a few Nicola and Nichola's.

bodiddly · 10/01/2010 20:58

Hannah!

diddl · 11/01/2010 08:06

Hannah

Hannah

MrsKitty · 11/01/2010 08:30

Hannah.

I love Hannah, but quite like Nicola too. There won't be nearly so many as with the whole NickyNikki thing of the 70s.

Both nice! I think also Hannah hit its peak around 15-20 yrs ago, so isn't that common anymore.

hattee · 11/01/2010 10:25

Another vote for Hannah

motherlovebone · 11/01/2010 10:40

like Nicole.

like Hannanh.

motherlovebone · 11/01/2010 10:41

Hannah even.

though use Hannanh if you like

PootleTheFlump · 11/01/2010 10:43

Hannah!

SilveryMoon · 11/01/2010 10:46

My name's Nicola. I do prefer to be called Nicola than Nikki, so I just tell people that I prefer Nicola.
I wasn't born in the 70's either.
I do not work in a nightclub.

Ondine · 11/01/2010 10:46

Can I vote Nicole.

Hannah if not, Nicola is too dated.
