There are no obvious similarities between Hanukkah and Ramadan besides for the coincidence that Ramadan is the ninth month on the Muslim calendar and Hanukkah happens during the 9th month (called Kislev) on the Jewish calendar. Hanukkah is an eight-day minorJewish festival occurring in December during which Jews light candles every evening. Some extra prayers are added to the daily prayers. It's customary to eat certain foods. Ramadan is the Holiest Muslim monthduring which Muslims fast all month during the day. It happens every 12 lunar months and therefor can fall out anytime during the year; each year it starts about 11 days earlier than the previous year (on the "solar" calendar.)

What is the Pagan name for lent?
Pagans do not observe Lent. Lent is a Christian practice. Modern pagans call Lent Lent, the same as we call Passover Passover, Ramadan Ramadan and Mothers' Day Mothers' day. Most pagans practice extreme religious tolerance, just because a religious or secular holiday is not "ours" does not mean we do not recognise it.
Is Ramadan similar to any Christian practices?
Ramadan is a Muslim observance although you could compare it to Lent which is a Christian observance. In Western Christianity, Lent typically starts on Ash Wednesday and lasts for 40 days. In those 40 days many Christians practice self-denial in any of the following ways: giving up different types of food, abstaining from sex for a period of time during Lent, or giving up something that they enjoy for the 40 day period. A major difference between Ramadan and Lent is that while I believe Ramadan is observed by all devout Muslims, Lent is not observed by all Christians. There are certain denominations such as the Lutherans, Catholics, Episcopalians and Methodists who observe Lent every year but members most other denominations only participate if they want to.
