I love Hosanna, which you already know. I love the sound and the look and the meaning.

---

As everyone else has mentioned, the nickname Ho does need to be avoided. Had you already thought of a nickname?
Anna
Sanna
Hanna

---

Have you thought of Osanna, if the Ho part bothers you at all?

---

I know this isn't really how your brain seems to work (since you work with meanings a lot), but mine would automatically find sound-alikes:
Osanna
Joanna / Johanna
Yolanda
Roxanna
Oxana
Susanna / Suzanna
Adanna
Alanna
Gianna
Giovanna
Rosanna
Juliana
And then I'd either see if I liked any of those or I would use them to show my husband that the name is not that weird. :)
