I'm trying to decide between the two.

Maria. It would be very fresh round here and sounds lovely. Unfortunately Martha's are ten a penny.

Definitely Maria, it’s a beautiful name.

I really like Martha - it’s classic but with a modern, boho sort of twist, imo. Maria is also a good name, but I think Martha has the edge, personally.

I'm surprised these are your options as theyre so different! For me, Martha is a bit alternative and arty, whereas Maria is traditional. If someone referred to a Maria they know I would guess she was at least 40 years old

Depends on where you live - Marfa doesn't sound good. Both are nice.
I prefer Maria too.

Both lovely

For what it's worth, I prefer Maria.
