I have a ten year old Martha and I love her name even more today than I did when we gave it to her. It is easy to spell and pronounce (although she was Marfa to her friends for a while as a toddler, which was very sweet) and it is elegant for an adult. It is moderately popular and there is one other in her primary school.

I have been previously told on MN that it is a dowdy Victorian servant's name . In real life we get lots of compliments on her name. The only reason I wouldn't have used it would have been if we were still living in an area where 'th' is routinely pronounced 'f' in the regional accent; Marfa is sweet from toddlers but it would have grated on me from everyone else.
