[Opinions] Re: Savannah
in reply to a message by Lily
I like it. It's pretty and soft. I guess I don't think that it's close to Anna or Hannah, since I like Savannah and am neutral on Anna and dislike Hannah. I wouldn't use it because of the city of Savannah GA. I've been to the city and I like the city (though the heat and humidity are awful in the summer) but using Savannah would seem to me to be declaring my Southern allegiance or something and I'm not Southern. Even though I know many non-Southerners must use the name, that's still what it would feel like to me. But I like it on someone else's child.According to the statistics, it's popular, though I've never known one or anybody who named their child Savannah, but still, if one wants to avoid a popular name, you have to trust the statistics.I prefer Savannah. I always like the H at the end of a name when it's an option, just makes the name look prettier and more feminine.

It never entered the top 30 so I don't consider it to be that popular. Yes, popular, but not overly so and not overused. When you combine spellings it also goes down a couple of places, out of the top 50, because so many names with multiple spellings surpass it in popularity.
