Martha Lois Cliff

i absolutely love the name 'hope' but for some reason i don't think it sounds right with martha.....cliff. not sure if 2 syllables would be better for a middle name. although tbh i think you should just go for the second name that you love because in life no-one actually 'reads' your whole name out loud.

sorry i'm not much help am i? and Confused

Martha Lucy

Martha Frances

Martha Violet

Martha Poppy

Martha Eloise

Martha Catherine

Martha Helene

If I had another dd I would like her middle name to be Martha but I think that I would struggle to find a first name that would work with it as a middle.

If you want Sarah, use it. You'll hardly ever say her full name anyway.

Not really keen on Mary though it would cover two greatgrandmothers and a great aunt in one go!

I think Martha Hope is fine. I also think you should use Sarah if you really want to.

My close friend is Martha Maria Mercy - she doesn't recommend it . I think Sarah flows better as a middle name although I like Hope as a name in itself.

i really like jane as a middle name, not too popular these days,
Martha Jane Cliff. sounds nice, and could be shortened to mj, which is rather sweet

I love the name Martha.
I think it's hard to suggest middle names without knowing what the last name sounds like(how many syllables etc)
