I think of the Bible story about Mary and Martha. Martha is rather put-upon, but I like her. If she'd posted in AIBU, we'd definitely tell her she was NOT unreasonable to be pissed off .

Parenthood is great, can watch it over and over! She was always quite "quirky" and wasn't afraid to be individual (I only talk in past tense as don't know any recent things about her!).

Oh she's brill. I loved Raising Hope and Parenthood and her stand on the word vagina

Martha Plimpton - actress big in the 90s, loved her. Think it's a nice name.

Scarlett that's Agatha!
apologies to all Agatha naming/named Mnetters, as it has become popular recently?

Love it!!
Makes me think Vandellas

I like it.
Associations:
a sweet GBBO contestant
Martha's harbour song
Bella Martha: German romcom that Catherine Zeta Jones remade and ruined
Oh and Martha Stewart (but she didn't immediately spring to mind as I am not American, but have heard of her).
in my head she's the yank Anthea Turner but better maybe a Mnetter from the States can confirm

To me it's fuddy-duddy and middle aged. It's plain and homely.

I like it. I don't have an immediate association for it.
