Let me put it this way: I know ten Hannahs and seven Annas. When I was in college, I once had three Hannahs and two Annas in one class. [name]Do[/name] you want your daughter to be one of a dozen sound-alike clones? If not, I’d go for the strong, elegant, and timelessly beautiful [name]Willa[/name].
I really love both! [name]Hannah[/name] (this spelling) is on my short list, but [name]Willa[/name] is a huge favorite of mine, as well. Spelled as they are, I prefer [name]Willa[/name] [name]Ruth[/name], but if [name]Hannah[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] was an option, I think I would vote for that.
I love both of these and would usually lean towards [name]Hanna[/name] - it’s a long time favourite of mine!
BUT, with your surname, I prefer [name]Willa[/name].
Good luck!
I love [name]Willa[/name]! It’s definitely my favourite…so lovely and uncommon.
[name]Hanna[/name] is very nice too…though I prefer the [name]Hannah[/name] spelling - because, how much fun would it be to have a name that’s the same backwards and forwards?!
I prefer [name]Willa[/name], but you can’t go wrong with either name. As far as the concern of how well it ages: I know two girls my age (18) named [name]Willa[/name] and they both wear it well. [name]Ruth[/name] is a gorgeous name too and goes well with both names! Good luck!
[name]Augusta[/name] makes a good point. Something to think about if you want a less common name. I also prefer [name]Hannah[/name] (with the 2nd ‘h’). No ‘h’ at the end looks like it’s missing something to me.
Despite that, I still really like [name]Hannah[/name]. My vote is [name]Willa[/name], though.
I think both are very pretty, but I much prefer the sound of [name]Willa[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] over [name]Hanna[/name] [name]Ruth[/name], so my vote goes to [name]Willa[/name]!
[name]Both[/name] names are beautiful imo. [name]Hannah[/name] is classic and timeless. I have an aunt whose middle name is [name]Hannah[/name], and a friend who has a 2 year old [name]Hannah[/name]. The meaning of [name]Hanna[/name] is beautiful too.
[name]Willa[/name] is much more unique and pretty but is also approachable given its similarity to [name]William[/name] and [name]Willow[/name].
I would choose [name]Willa[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] for its uniqueness.
I’m for [name]Willa[/name] [name]Ruth[/name]. [name]Both[/name] [name]Willa[/name] and [name]Hanna[/name] are beautiful but I personally think that in the long run [name]Willa[/name] is a better choice. [name]Willa[/name] [name]Ruth[/name] sounds fresh and is more intriguing as a combo than [name]Hanna[/name] [name]Ruth[/name].
