[Opinions] Hana
I watched "The English Patient" on TV last night and was reminded of the name Hana (who's the Juliette Binoche character). I dislike Hannah and generally prefer Anna, but Hana's kind of sweet, and it also means "flower" in Japanese. Plus according to the database it's also an Arabic name meaning bliss. I like names that exist in various cultures. WDYT?

I think it's gorgeous said HAH-nah. Pronounced like Hannah I also love it, but not with that spelling.

I like Hana. My friend from Kosova has a daughted named that. It's pretty and I also like the fact that it exists in multiple languages.

Beautiful.I also like that it's multicultural. Hannah is incredibly boring at this point (so is Anna, to be frank). Hana is refreshing, although there will still be several Hannahs/Hanas/Hannas in the girl's life, so it will sound less unique than it actually is.

I find Hannah boring. But Hana is quite interesting and rather sweet like you said. It would probably be mispelled as Hannah a lot though.

I really like it, it's pretty and uncommon in a sense but then not out there because of the similar and popular name Hana, it has a spanish feel to me and i really like it :)
