"It was the most emotional & surprising moment of the entire series for me," one fan wrote on Reddit. "She is NOT Agnes, she is Hannah & she KNOWS that. She truly is June Osborne's daughter & Holly Maddox's granddaughter. Hope Gilead is ready."
'Huge'

"It probably is the only thing she knows how to write. She was 5 when she was taken, she was just beginning to learn," noted one person. "But she remembers it, and that's huge."
Hannah could face consequences if she was caught

"Hannah writing her name BROUGHT ME TO TEARS," wrote somebody else. "JUNE WOULD BE DO PROUD."
Hannah has june's 'revolutionary energy.'
When Hannah wrote “HANNAH” meaning she remembers her pre-Gilead life then the fact that she’s in Gilead so the aunts will probably cut her finger started to sink in and btw where did she get that pencil? 😭 #HandmaidsTale #TheHandmaidsTale pic.twitter.com/HewkwdFkDv

"I think the scene's duality is about her writing her real name and to show that she's even writing at all despite it being forbidden," added another fan. "Also she has her mom's revolutionary energy."
Fans relieved they finally got "insight" into Hannah

"This moment was such a relief, because this WHOLE TIME we haven't seen anything from Hannah's perspective! We've had no insight as to how she's been feeling or whether she still missed her real parents," added somebody else. "I'm so glad we finally got a peek behind the curtain!"
Some believe Hannah has been "planning her escape"
Hannah writing her actual name really made me tear the fuck up #thehandmaidstale

"Omg! She wrote her name! Hannah seems to be very much like June. She's probably been planning her escape for years," one person theorized. "She better make it back to June and Luke!! If not, what is this all for??"
