    I also get Har-na and Hain-na. I answer to anything these days that sounds remotely like my name. I also get the traditional Anna a lot as well. As a child I used to say it ha-nah emphasising the ha

    I've never heard 'Hunnah', sounds a bit strange actually. I don't like it.

    I know a Hanniah (hah-ny-ah)

    We have a Hannah (rhymes with manner).

    But I have heard "Hah-nah" (with an ah sound similar to how some people say Sa-rah) - usually in the context of people from europe (for eg, I'm pretty sure that's how German people say Hannah/Hana) and so it's perfectly normal in some families.
