Or what about Claudine?

JamieandtheMagicTorch · 20/09/2013 18:28

Claudia

Martha is lovely but much more popular

Martha

Martha is lovely, Claudia too harsh.

NadiaWadia · 20/09/2013 15:15

Claudia is nicer. Martha has a bit of a dowdy vibe, as squoosh said.

tackytiger · 19/09/2013 20:43

Not Martha - like it but can't get The Handmaid's Tale out of my head.
LOVE Claudia.

There was a similar post yesterday lol.

Love love love Martha

Really don't like Claudia,

puds11isNAUGHTYnotNAICE · 19/09/2013 12:12

I love Martha

smithwillsam · 19/09/2013 12:08

Both names are very nice. I love Claudia. It is a strong, elegant, intelligent-sounding, ageless and completely beautiful female name.

But Martha was the one in the Bible who spent all her time fussing about the housework; and there was a Martha at school with thick ankles.

For these very rational reasons, I prefer Claudia

Mama1980 · 19/09/2013 11:54

Martha, I don't like Claudia.

Writerwannabe83 · 19/09/2013 11:49

Both lovely - I prefer Claudia though Smile

ELR · 19/09/2013 11:10

Claudia: spoilt, posh, dark haired little girl all said I still like the name!
Martha I'm not keen on.

Pasiphae · 19/09/2013 11:06

Claudia: pretty and elegant.
Martha: far too serious.

FingersCrossedLegsNot · 19/09/2013 10:38

Martha, I don't like the sound of Claudia.

elcranko · 19/09/2013 10:37

Martha

Sammie101 · 18/09/2013 20:17

Martha is a beautiful name Smile

nightcircus · 18/09/2013 20:09

Martha
What about Lydia?

smother · 18/09/2013 20:08

Noticing lots of polls at the moment with Claudia in Hmm

smother · 18/09/2013 20:05

Martha my dear

JazzAnnNonMouse · 18/09/2013 19:50

Martha

cantpooinpeace · 18/09/2013 19:50

Claudia! I have one, saying that I love Martha almost the same Grin

squoosh · 18/09/2013 19:49

Oh sillyoldfool that's one of my favourite songs of all time! I feel emotional just thinking about it Smile

sillyoldfool · 18/09/2013 19:47

Martha, but I have one of my own so am biased :-)
Listen to the tom waits song 'Martha' that'll swing it, beautiful.
