Hannah

I think Hannah is a good name. I usually don't like overly popular names, but Hannah is an exception. It does seem like it's continuing to fall in popularity. When I lived in the US (New Hampshire) I knew one Hannah. She is five now. Now I live in Sweden and I don't know any Hannahs.
I know quite a few of all ages. I can see the appeal, but its a bit too plain for tastes. I like it as a nn for Johanna.
I greatly dislike this name. I think it will continue to fall. I live in South Carolina and I've never known a Hannah, and don't know anyone who named their baby Hannah.
I think it will continue to fall. Hannah has had it's run. It's been up there since like 1995. I don't personally know any Hannahs (other than myself), but I know of at least six, and I hear the name in the mall a lot, always in regards to girls under 13. But it's a lovely name, and if it weren't for the current popularity I'd be very happy that it's mine.
I live in Connecticut, though in a very Jewish populated area, I've known about five Hannahs give or take, one Hanna, and a couple Channahs. Five of the Hannahs/Channahs I know are Jewish and I don't think it's going to drop in popularity among that culture, it's almost like Catholics dropping the names Michael or Joseph.
