It'll remain popular for a while to come, I think. It may fall out of the top ten soon though. Names can be classic and common at once. I'd rather be a Hannah than a Nevaeh - remember thre are two different kinds of 'popular.' ;)

Lovely name. Would go great with a sibling named Abigail (sounds very American Revolution-ish) or also Sarah or Elizabeth.

Cyrus ruined it for me.

I used to be completely head-over-heels in love with Hannah, but Miley Cyrus killed it. Without that association, I'd say it's lovely and definitely classic and timeless, but definitely being overused at the moment. I think as a middle name, it's neglected and would make a nice "fallback name" for a more exotic first name.

As Circus Lullaby said, the original Channah is lovely. I'd probably go for that over Hannah.

My name is Hannah and ive never particualy liked it until recently.
my mn is Maree, so i think that Hannah Maree is a bit too drab and boring, and cant help but wish for a nicer, prettier combo

I like Channah, does that count?

Hannah I'm iffy with... I love Channah though. I know a little girl named Channah and she's so cute ^_^ I don't think you'll find many non-Jews with this version of the name though. Channah just seems to have more substance than Hannah which just seems flat in a way to me. Plus I know a very ditsy Hannah so meh.

I think its classic, pretty, popular and boring all at the same time! I think it may decline in a few years. If you plan on using it now a days I would pair it with a less used older name like Hannah Josephine or Hannah Millicent or Hannah Gertrude or something like that to make it more refreshing and less dull.

I think it's pretty and classic. I know it's popular, but that doesn't put me off this particular name. I love the simplicity of it. It still falls within some of the name trends that I think are on the rise or just began, so I think it'll stay popular for awhile still. Maybe not top 10, but top 100 for sure.

Warning: I have an unreasonable dislike of this name.

Hannah is classic and popular, not boring (but not interesting, either), and not pretty. I remain baffled that it's popular. Something about it is so drab. I've met all of these darling little girls named Hannah, and I'm still surprised everytime I'm introduced. Hannah shouldn't be young, cheerful, and pink-cheeked; Hannah is a mean old woman with stringy, gray hair, chapped hands, and maybe a dowager's hump. I don't know why I have this image, but I can't shake it.

I think Hannah is becoming less popular. It won't surprise me if it drops out of the top 10 this year, and over the next couple decades I think it will drop out of the top 100. Of course, that could just be wishful thinking on my part. :)

Pretty and classic.

My combo is, Hannah Rosemary.

It's classic but not pretty, popular but not boring. I dislike it intensely, although it is a classic and my reason is not that it's boring. There is something about the sound of it that I hate. It always makes me think of chicken soup for some reason, and chicken soup is one of the few foods that I dislike to the point that I won't eat it. It makes me think of an ugly woman with her hair scraped down very flat on her head and with a sullen look on her face. But I think it's going to stay popular for a while.

Hannah is lovely, but tired. She needs a long rest.

I still use Hannah as a mn, though. Overly used fns are rarely found in the mn position, so it can make a nice mn.

I think it's pretty and classic. It probably will decrease a little, but I think it will always hover around the 100's. I prefer it spelled Hanna.

I really don't like Hannah. It doesn't feel like it ages well to me, it's a bratty girl in pink overalls, perpetually stuck between the ages of 3 and 8. I know Hannahs my age, and yet I still get this image.

---

It's odd though, I like Hana, and love Anna and Shoshannah. Just not Hannah.

---

I think it's classic, but popular and boring. It's on its way down, but I wonder if it'll feel a bit dated after.

I love this name. Hannah Rose and Hannah Theresa is beautiful.
