Hannah Leigh

I do like the name, but this spelling makes me think that it would be prn as Hahn-ell-ee.

It honestly does not sound like a real name. Is it?

Yeah you’d have to put the names separate or it looks like it’s pronounced different.

I hate it, sorry. All I hear is "Honah Lee" from Puff the Magic Dragon.

Hana (prn Hahn-uh instead of han-uh, Japanese meaning "blossom") with the middle name Leigh would be better. Same sounds, but she’ll go by her first name most of the time so you won’t get that Peter, Paul, and Mary reference.

Like the land called Honalee, in Puff the Magic Dragon?

Thanks, didn’t realize the reference to Puff the Magic Dragon. I’d stumbled upon the name today and it sounded pretty but I wanted your opinions. Its supposedly a German or Slavic name. I suppose its back to the drawing board, thoigh i do like Hanna, so we’ll keep it in mind.

Thanks a bunch!!

I love Hannah! But not Hannelie

It’s a cute name, but the spelling makes it look like it would be pronounced different.

Hannah is great, but otherwise it’s Puff the Magic Dragon-sounding for me too.

It makes me think of Hannibal. How about Hannah Lynn or Hannah Leah?

The name is German it is a first and middle name pronounced together. It is spelled Hanneli it means merciful and gracious or graceful.

My name is Hannelie, born South African. People struggle to pronounce it, but I have only had compliments about my name. I also get Han, Lee or Hannah. It is a very common name in South Africa. Got it from my grandmother that was Hannatjie. I enjoy the fact that people cannot pronounce it! The Australian s and Americans that got the pronunciation right, it does sound good. A pitty that some are so narrow minded to think of puff the magic dragon or hannibal!

My daughter's name is Hannelie. Her dad is Dutch South African...it is a very common name in South Africa. Many people here in US do have trouble pronouncing it though. Her dad picked the name. Most people call her Hannah or Hannah Lee. Like a first and middle name, Which is fine. In South Africa it is pronounced Hahn "nellie."Here we say Han nellie. It's pronounced like saying half of Hannah; Han/with nellie.....Hannelie. The name means merciful and gracious. My daughter is loving and kind...she is as unique and beautiful as her name.
