I love the name Martha. I wanted it if ds had been a girl, but dh vetoed.
Agree that Grace, Rose and May are not very imaginative as middle names.

scorpio1 · 01/11/2008 14:12

Indeed, NL

NorthernLurker · 01/11/2008 14:11

That's a lovely name!

(Am distraught that Rose and Grace are now oft used middle names though - I picked them for dds 1 & 2 10.5 and 8 years ago and they weren't common then! I guess I must be a trendsetter )

Gorgeous, were my names of choice for DS2 who I was convinced was a girl...

Miyazaki · 01/11/2008 10:04

Lovely, both are very very popular here. Prob cos so pretty.

findtheriver · 01/11/2008 09:57

Grace is pretty, but you're right Sesi. Everyone I know without exception who has had a baby girl in the last year has given the baby Grace or Rose as middle name.

Martha is a great name. Not keen on Grace, mainly because it seems to be the default middle name that every other girl seems to have, so a bit unorignal.

Pinkchampagne · 31/10/2008 22:56

Gorgeous name - love it!

PestoFangsLookGoodOnMeMonster · 31/10/2008 22:51

I love it. DD1's best friend is called this.

Lovely

barnsleybelle · 31/10/2008 22:49

It's absolutley beautiful.

simpson · 31/10/2008 22:46

Love Martha and especially love Grace as its my DD's middle name too.

Lonnie · 31/10/2008 21:43

Work very well together

weepootle · 31/10/2008 21:15

Both lovely names - Martha is very high on my list of favourites but sadly bottom for dh! I agree that Grace is now the equivalent of Louise or Jane for middle names but I prefer it as a middle name than a first name.

MrsMattie · 31/10/2008 21:05

Yes, it's very sweet.

frazzledoldbag34 · 31/10/2008 20:42

Martha is lovely.
Lots of people seem to use Grace for a middle name at the moment I guess, but that's not a reason not to!
Martha Grace sounds very elegant and pretty

MingMingtheWonderPet · 31/10/2008 20:38

I love Martha, was vetoed by DH for our DD though as his boss is called Martha and he didn't want to look too arsey!
Very beautiful name.

wobbegong · 31/10/2008 20:31

yes I love it

RachieB · 31/10/2008 20:01

I agree with Plonker

Heated · 31/10/2008 20:00

It's a beautiful combo

Plonker · 31/10/2008 20:00

I love Grace, i'm not keen on Martha, but i have to say that the two together sound lovely

katch · 31/10/2008 19:58

I know a Grace and have always thought she had a lovely name. And today, for some reason, I was thinking about the name Martha. The two together are sublime.

flowerybeanbag · 31/10/2008 19:56

Lovely.

pamelat · 31/10/2008 19:54

Lovely. I know a Martha Grace, she is 13 months old and lovely.

2point4kids · 31/10/2008 19:43

Very nice
