Re: Rough pronunciation UH vs. U
I only know Hannah pronounced with two identical "a" sounds around here in the German-speaking countries, like the two "a"s in the name Anna.

Indeed, all the ‘a’ in Hannah and Anna are basically equal (except for stress and length) and would be denoted by [a] or [ʌ] in IPA, not [ɑ] and certainly not [ɒ] which is almost [ɔ].
