How about Martha Matilda? Bit different. (I like all the middle name choices except Mae, but I agree as middle names they are bit "filler).

I love your names! Very similar taste to me!

Martha Rose is beautiful

I also had Matilda Mae/Rae on my list.

Martha ❤️

I prefer Amelie as I really like Millie as a nickname.

LaurensILikeYouALot · 27/01/2022 06:58

How about Martha Matilda?

I agree that Rose/Grace/Mae are very very very common middle names. I know a couple of Sophia Graces and a Matilda Rose. If you don't mind that factor, then it doesn't matter.

The Martha I know is called Martha-Moo if anything. Martha is a lovely, lovely name.

wingsofabird · 27/01/2022 06:53

Love the name Martha

BugsyDrakeTableScape · 27/01/2022 06:50

My Martha has never been shortened to Mart - in fact I don't think anyone shortens it at all. Her best friend's nickname for her is longer.

She is Martha Elizabeth

Redwinestillfine · 27/01/2022 06:47

Amelie. Gorgeous. With 3 boys I'd go girly rather than something that can be shortened to a boy's name.

SoonbeSpringtime · 27/01/2022 06:44

I like Martha best from your options OP. With three big brothers your little girl will be better served by a strong name rather than a cutesy one.

I’d pair it with Louise because I agree with a PP, your other suggestions are very much need a middle name fillers.

Have never heard Martha shortened to Marth.

halfsiesonapotnoodle · 27/01/2022 05:15

Martha is a really lovely name but ruined by the utterly tedious Rose, Mae or Grace. Those filler middle names are absolutely everywhere. Why not choose a novel different middle name?

YukoandHiro · 27/01/2022 04:59

We sometimes at home call our Martha just "Marth" - mainly when moaning at her to hurry - but it's not a nickname and nobody else uses it. Marthie is a nickname sometimes used.

Goldfishmountainclimber · 27/01/2022 04:55

I prefer Matilda but not with Mae. How about Matilda Rose?

Ginandplatonic · 27/01/2022 03:29

Martha is great. And perfect with her brothers’ names. Would never occur to me to shorten it to Mart.

Second favourite from your list is Matilda. The others are unobjectionable but very popular.

Flutterflybutterby · 27/01/2022 03:23

Martha Rose is perfect, definitely my favourite from your list, and I've never heard of any Martha being shortened to Mart!
