A sister for Martha

DD2 is due in less than two weeks and we still haven’t picked a name. I am getting really stressed as DD1 was over a week early and I really don’t want the baby to be born before we’ve chosen something! Really different this time around as we picked DD1’s name straight away and both loved it.

We have gone back and forth on names a lot but just can’t find anything we really love. Lots that are nice and we both like, but nothing that’s stuck. We like classic, elegant, strong, old fashioned names, which will suit a grown woman as well as a little girl.

Please hit me with your suggestions! Thanks so much!

Polly, Nancy, Nell or Phoebe.

Names we like are:

Rosa
Clara
Lydia

I’d appreciate any thoughts on them. I think I’m leaning towards Clara but is that too similar?

My first thought was Esther, or for less of a Biblical connection, Elspeth.

Martha is a lovely name and was on our list if we had DDs. We also considered:

Phoebe
Lucy
Rachel
Nina
Rosa

The Martha I know has a sister named Nancy. Agree with Hannah as well.
