Which is nicer? I love both but they are quite different in feel...

People are only babies for a tiny percentage of their life though, so the 'cuter on a baby' aspect wouldn't be a huge factor for me.

Wow, huge push towards Martha. It is adorable isn't it? Claudia more beautiful I reckon but Martha cuter on a baby...hmm.

Martha. Love it but have one in the family so i'm bias

squoosh · 18/09/2013 10:45

Martha is nice if a teensy bit dowdy.

Claudia is beautiful and elegant.

PoppyAmex · 18/09/2013 09:28

Both nice.

Marta is very popular in Latin countries and it sounds nicer to my forrin ears because I don't particularly like the "th" sound.

GrandstandingBlueTit · 18/09/2013 09:26

Claudia - no contest.

Redlocks30 · 18/09/2013 09:14

Martha-I nearly used Claudia but the meaning made me change my mind.

charleslingus · 18/09/2013 09:13

Martha is awesome, reminds me of the Beatles song. Perfect.

toffeelolly · 18/09/2013 09:11

Go for Martha

mirry2 · 18/09/2013 08:58

Martha is nicer

Iamgoodbutnotanangel · 18/09/2013 08:44

Martha! It has a nice nickname in Mattie.

williaminajetfighter · 18/09/2013 07:11

Martha. I just don't like the hard sounding 'clod' in Claudia.

bananamummy · 18/09/2013 06:59

Martha - definitely.

Don't like the sound or meaning of Claudia.

ArtyFartyQueen · 18/09/2013 06:25

Martha for definite!

LeoTheLateBloomer · 18/09/2013 06:24

Another vote for Martha.

I like both. Only reason I wouldn't choose Claudia personally would be to avoid a lifetime of mispronunciation (for some it's Cloud-ia, others Claw-dia). Depends whether that bothers you or not. But a pretty name (am biased, have a fabulous friend of the Cloud-ia variety).
