  • SAHN-nuh (rhymes with Shauna): 9 (16%)

Neither of your choices, it would be Sah-nuh (rhymes with [name]Donna[/name]). If it’s spelled [name]Sanne[/name], then it’s a very Dutch name and it’s quite common and beautiful!

I agree with pp.

My first thought is definitely sah-nuh.

It’s a common name here, and the prn closest to mine would be SAN-nuh. Actually, in Swedish you’d emphasize both syllables, like you say [name]Phoebe[/name].

saw-nuh, like a sauna

That is what I meant by the second pronunciation n(rhyming with shauna)… I am not good with phonetics :wink:

i voted the second, but really i would pronounce it as it was introduced to me

I know a [name]Sanna[/name], and she pronounces it like [name]Hanna[/name]

Isn’t it the second half of the name [name]Susannah[/name]? So, I thought it was pronounced like that. Like [name]Hannah[/name].
