What’s everyone’s thoughts on Martha?
I love it, it’s got the old vibe we are going for, but some people have mentioned the biblical story, said it’s too old fashioned etc etc
Already have a Lily.

Gorgeous name. I love it. Very pretty and very classic. Here's a tip...don't discuss names with people.

Not everyone will like the one you choose so you'll always have someone saying something negative about each one...then you'll never have one you can choose with no prior thoughts of "Oh but Aunty Em says that name reminds her of her mean supervisor'
