I know a Martha and a Flo, but remember Beatrice is the name of Heather McCartney's daughter... let that be a warning!

2 of these names Martha and Florence) are top of my list if I have another child and it was a girl. I love them.

There is one Martha and one Beatrix (similar to Beatrice) but noone called Flornece in DD's school - of 90 girls.

There are none of the names in the school I work at - aprox 135 girls.

There is def a Martha in my friend's DD's Y2 class.

We are in Sheffield.

Yes - there's one of each in our (small) playgroup, and another couple in dd's school.

We live in a nice semi-rural part of west Yorkshire btw. They're quite middle class names I think. I like them all - that's not a criticism, just an observation.

MagNacarta · 10/11/2009 21:03

Yes, all three. Not to say you shouldn't have a name you like though. DD1 has a name that was unusual when she was born and is a popular name for babies now. Nothing I can do about it.

I'm in London and every other baby girl I meet is called Martha! It is uber popular here.

I know of a few Florences and one Beatrice.

Beatrice is my favourite on your list.

None of those round here (SW), but I would have a Florence if I had another dd .

Scottie22 · 10/11/2009 20:59

I don't know any lo's with those names although I have friends of my age called Florence and Beatrice.

I like all these names - Martha was on my shortlist too!!
