Oops! Name change fail. Changed my username to post another thread, thank God I didn't post it as it was very outing and I'd have to give up this name if I had, or risk being outed 😂

@Luredbyapomegranate

Oh gosh I really don’t like Martha - she was so depressing in the bible, and then there’s the handmaids tale. Daisy is ok in the middle.

Juliet’s very nice though! Juliet Daisy Martha?

I love Martha in the bible 😳 don't think she is depressing at all! And I have never seen (read? Is it a TV show or book?) Handmaids Tale. We aren't in the UK so this isn't really known here. Definitely keeping Martha for first name Smile

I love it although personally I would use Juliette rather than Juliet

Qwill · 04/04/2022 22:35

I like Martha, it’s a classic name. I really dislike Daisy, it reminds me of a cow name. Also every Daisy I have met has been pretty nasty, so maybe I’m biased!!

WeasilyPleased · 04/04/2022 22:27

I really like the combination. Daisy freshens up more serious Martha ( which is lovely OP) and Juliet rounds things off nicely. Beautifully done!

I love it. DD has Martha as one of her middle names and I kind of wish I'd 'saved' it to use as a future first name 😊

Kanaloa · 04/04/2022 21:40

It’s nice. I agree that middle names really aren’t that used so I wouldn’t agonise over them too much.

I do think it’s a shame to hide Juliet at the end! I think it’s much nicer than Martha.

IStandWithMaya · 04/04/2022 21:33

It's a lovely name

DramaAlpaca · 04/04/2022 21:31

I like Juliet very much. I don't like the others, Martha in particular.

All that matters is that you and your partner like it though. Anyone else's opinions matter not a jot.

DogsAndGin · 04/04/2022 21:29

No. Sorry OP I don’t like any of those names at all

SunshiningBoo · 04/04/2022 19:48

Lovely name. I love Martha.

Sidneysussex · 04/04/2022 19:37

It's fine. Nobody uses middle names so honestly it doesn't matter if it flows.
It's better than another rose/grace/may/Rae type filler.
Go for it!

whatausername · 04/04/2022 11:59

Awesome! Nothing boring or filler yet isn't "you-neeq"

Nnique · 04/04/2022 11:40

I think it’s lovely!

Marty13 · 04/04/2022 11:38

I don't think there's anything wrong with those names. They're not my style so I don't love them but I don't hate them and I see nothing wrong with them. If you feel good about your choice I'd go ahead.

Need two middle names because my other children have two middle names, I'd feel mean otherwise! Also, names ending in 'et' sound really good with our surname, whereas a name with an 'ee' sound (like Daisy) doesn't sound so good directly before the surname, hence the order Grin

I think Martha Juliet Daisy flows better

Jellycatrabbit · 04/04/2022 10:20

I like Martha Margaret Juliet more Smile but I think your version works

ellenpartridge · 04/04/2022 10:19

I like all the names. My kids have 2 middle names each so I'm not against it but I wonder if just Martha Juliet sounds better without the Daisy.

riotlady · 04/04/2022 10:19

Lovely :)

Fleur405 · 04/04/2022 10:16

My daughter has two middle names after two of her great grandmothers. I don’t know that the whole thing flows all that well when you say it out loud… but how often do you ever say your full name? I don’t know any of my friends middle names!!

I used the particular middle names because they were meaningful to me. If you like them then use them! I love Martha as a first name as it happens.

Skelligsfeathers · 04/04/2022 10:11

Yes, it is lovely

Fl0w3ry · 04/04/2022 10:09

The names are all lovely individually, but they don’t flow very well together. I think I would drop one of the middle names personally.
