Hannah and Hanna
Hanna is a name from my family tree. Would you consider it honoring to use Hannah instead? It is more common now where I live (only slightly, but still).Is Hannah too boring or too girl next door? I sometimes can't shake the "a Hannah would be nice but sort of boring and homely" image that my friend says the name has.Too dated?I sort of like it and I like the fact that it makes me think of a nice person.Please rate my list: https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/6232

If the names were really different it would've been a problem, but they aren't. I think Hannah is a beautiful name.

Absolutely! Just as it would be honouring to use either Rebekah or Rebecca, Deborah or Debra. In fact, Hanna(h) could honour Ann, Anne or Anna, and vice versa. I find Anna and Hannah more appealing than Hanna, but I like palindromes.

I think Hannah is an okay name with some slightly interesting history/story behind it. I do think of a smart girl when I imagine Hannah, but not exactly pretty. I wouldn’t be surprised if one was, though. However, yes; It is a bit too boring. I prefer Anna, or Anne. But hey, it’s better than Peninnah.Hannah Marigold
