It's absolutely okay. If you like it, that is all that matters. Names come from everywhere. Hannah is a beautiful name. Plus it is spelled the same forwards and backwards, which gives it an added 'umph,' in my humble opinion.
Then there is that movie from the 80s I believe called Hannah and Her Sisters. Then there is the actress Daryl Hannah, who is beautiful.
Found from various websites:
Gender:
Female
Ethnic Origin:
English. Also found Hebrew.
Meaning:
Favor; grace. Biblical mother of the prophet Samuel.

Hannah is a pretty name. You should choose any name you want - including names from other cultures. Many names have ways of working their ways across cultures, religions, and class. What may sound like a Jewish name today could easily be considered a very common, non-religion-specific name in the near future.

I think my daughter's name is scandinavian or something...who cares? Do you think all the hannah's in this world are jewish? As long as you and your husband like it, it will fit in perfect. I think Hannah is a sweet name, by the way. I don't know a single Hannah that isn't pretty or kind. Good choice.

Hi there, Hannah is a beautiful name. I think you guys should go with a name that brightens your day everytime you say it, rather than worry about the religious reason behind the name.
Your girl is precious! The name you guys choose IS the perfect name! Religion no bar!
:)
Have fun guys!

Do you and your honey like it? Then, there ya go! =)
How many people go through life saying, "Wow, you have a [enter nationality here] name? But you aren't [again]?! How can you live with yourself?!" =) (note the light-heartedness I'm trying to convey here!)
Hannah is a beautiful name. If you like it, go with it, and I'm sure what you WILL hear is, "Wow, a beautiful name for a beautiful baby!!!" ;-)
