Palindrome. My husband noticed before I did and then we both couldn't un-notice it. Not why we chose it, but it's become a thing she loves about her own name.

My grandmother went by Hannah her whole life. Her actual name on her birth certificate was Anna — she'd simply decided to be Hannah at some point and no one had questioned it. She was ninety-one when she passed. I gave my daughter the name she always wanted.
— Ruth, Greenville SC, 2019
