They've already been suggested, but second / third the suggestions for Beatrice and Harriet. They both sound lovely with Martha.

I wouldn't go for two names beginning with M personally.

It seems that you like traditional but not overused girls' names, so how about:

Clara
Louisa
Eliza
Beatrice
Josephine
Alexandra
Helena

For boys:

Joseph
William
Christopher
Julian

I have a Florence & DD2 is due beginning of Jan. Martha, Harriet, Eliza & Elsie are our forerunners so far!

Really like Matilda. But I'm a little worried about it being too popular also would Martha and Matlida sound a little odd? A friend has suggested Mary for a girl which I like but has the same M and M problem.

Classic, traditional names that go well with Martha are imo

Florence
Cordelia
Catherine

Isaac
Quentin
Sebastian

Startailoforangeandgold · 02/10/2012 11:07

Elspeth
Bethan
Charlotte

Elizabeth both a bit safe
Isabel/le
Katharine
Louisa

Basically anything reasonably traditional, but not dull.
Anna, Jayne, Janet, Susan work, but I'd feel DD1 got more thought.

I have the very very common name and DSIS the more interesting one and imEnvy

OH socks, I'm not sure if I dare say it, but-
Daisy and Lily work too,

Startailoforangeandgold · 02/10/2012 09:24

Lucy was my first thought too.
Esther
Genevieve
Juliet (Julia or Judith) they could all work
Harriet, but I'm swayed by knowing a massively cute one.
Liberty???

Quite like Anna and Esther but don't think they're 'the one'
Hadn't thought of Elijah and I like that. Love George but it's out because of family associations.
