Love them all, good names!
Martha best, then Matilda I'd say

Isla definitely. The other 2 are gettin quite popular.

I love Isla my DD1 is called Isla-Rae. I wanted a traditional Scottish name an fell in love with it the min I heard it. Good luck.

I like Isla best

Isla is becoming very very popular - reckon it will be in the top 20 in the next few years.

I prefer Martha and Matilda

CatchaChristmasStar · 05/01/2009 14:24

Isla was on my list, came into the final two but I went with the other option as it was the more favoured by my family lol. Gone off it a bit now.

Sorry I don't really like Martha, although I think it could grow on me.

I love Matilda - never used to though. Although I really dislike Tilly.

Pinkmarshmallow · 05/01/2009 14:15

I would go for Isla.

Blythe makes me think of Blythe Duffy in Taggart and she is not a particularly nice or warm person.

I know a female dancer called Laurie she's lovely - small, dark pixie-like and very warm and cheeky.

martha is the loveliest, i saw someone came up with blythe as a 2nd name on another thread but the op wasn't having any of it!
martha blythe- is that a great name?

preggersplayspop · 04/01/2009 20:25

I really like Martha. Isla always makes me think of Isla StClair and knitted jumpers.

How about Martha Jane? (Martha Imogen is a lovely combination as well).

mumof2dc · 04/01/2009 20:21

kove martha

dinkymum · 04/01/2009 19:39

like all I think if had to choose would go with Matilda

Pinkchampagne · 04/01/2009 19:31

Don't like Matilda but like Isla & Martha.

Hulababy · 04/01/2009 19:31

I like them all, esp Martha and Matilda.

Rumpel · 04/01/2009 19:29

Isla Fern
Isla Heather
Martha Imogen

Sorry really don't like Matilda. I alwasy think of someone weedy and weak for some reason - no idea why -sorry.

Rumpel · 04/01/2009 19:27

Isla

blametheparents · 04/01/2009 19:26

martha is lovely

TheFallenMadonna · 04/01/2009 19:25

Isla or Martha I like.

Matilda - nope.

Sibh · 04/01/2009 19:21

I love all of these names. If you could avoid Isla though, that would be a big help to my sister who is 30 this year, and had 25 years of having an unusual name and is now feeling a bit less special ...

Martha is my middle name, and I don't like it as a middle name, but as a first name it's cool. I like Matilda.

slackrunner · 04/01/2009 19:18

Isla or Martha good.
