Hannah or Hanna

Are these pronounced the same way?

Which spelling do you prefer?

FI and I during long distance relationship periods will read the same book to feel closer. The first we ever read was The Reader. The lead female roles name is Hanna.

    I believe you would say them the same way. I like Hannah better.

    My friend Hanna is HAH.nuh, not HAN.uh. So yes, I'd pronounce them differently at first glance.

    without the H on the end, it feels incomplete to me.

    I like Hannah because it's a palindrome :) Also because I believe that is the traditional spelling of the name.

    Hannah/Hanna is on my top girl name list. 

    My name isn't spelled like the common spelling and my mother did that on purpose and I love it. Yes, I do have to correct people on the spelling, but I don't mind. I like the individuality of it.

    I voted for Hannah but I like Hanna better now after thinking about you and your DH and your long distance book club for two. That's one of the sweetest things I've heard in awhile!

    I prefer Hannah because Hanna looks unfinished to me.

    But although I loved that book, I don't think I'd name my child after an illiterate Nazi guard who seduced a teenage boy and killed herself...

    It wouldn't be so much for the character as the sentiment of the book itself. She wasn't a very good person so I wouldn't want to name a child after HER but as I mentioned in the original comment our mini book club has helped keep our relationship alive while we were apart.

    I voted Hannah because Hanna is a place in Alberta where Nickleback is from

    FI and I during long distance relationship periods will read the same book to feel closer. The first we ever read was The Reader. The lead female roles name is Hanna.

    I work with a girl who spells in Hanna and she pronounces in "Hah-nuh" where the first a sounds like "ah"  I have always heard Hannah pronounce "Han-uh" with the first a like "apple."  If you're going for the short "a," like "apple" I'd keep the "h" at the end, just to be safe.
