Wow Bettybutterknife really love Pearl. Hadn't thought of that one. DH loves it too. Think she may well be a Martha Pearl now

everlong I read that and immediately started singing 'Let it Be' - "When I find myself in times of trouble, Martha Mary comes to me!"

Are there any family names that you like?

Martha Jean
Martha Joy
Martha June

Don't know why they are all J names that came to mind!

The Rose/May/Grace (or in my day Jane/Claire) middle names work because they're one syllable - there are plenty of others to choose from:

Martha Belle
Martha Tess
Martha Hope
Martha Pearl
Martha Maeve

I saw the title and straight away thought Martha Rose before reading the thread. But then I realised it may be a bit Doctor Who related (not a bad thing).

Still sounds lovely though as long as you live somewhere where th is pronounced th not f.

I've got a Martha Phoebe. Martha's a great name

RobynLou · 25/05/2010 20:31

I have a Martha Rose

BornToFolk · 25/05/2010 15:04

Martha was on our shortlist if DS had been a girl. We considered Martha Rose but that's two Dr Who assistants...
In the end, we decided on Martha Josephine.

sunshiney · 25/05/2010 15:02

Martha Jane

I am loving the name Martha, and thinking if I persuade DP then I'd go for Martha Beth...yum! Rose is lovely too x

siobhan3079 · 25/05/2010 11:20

I have a 7 week old Martha Lucy!! any good?

Fanfare · 25/05/2010 08:37

Gorgeous choice of name! If we'd had a girl she would have been a Martha, and I'd liked either Elizabeth or Merryn as middle names. Rose goes beautifully with Martha too.

Focker?

liliputlady · 25/05/2010 07:54

I like all three of your middle name choices; Louise really pretty and less used than Rose at the moment.

multimummy · 25/05/2010 06:39

Martha Mae?

sunnydelight · 25/05/2010 06:32

Martha Anne is the best name ever

lou4791 · 24/05/2010 22:03

Martha Elizabeth was going to be my girl name when I had my baby last year. Beautiful name. But I had my gorgeous son, and named him Arthur. So even if i'm lucky enough to have another baby, and it's a girl, I can't use the name - an Arthur and a Martha is a little bet silly. Martha Rose is lovely too.

SillyTillyBilly · 24/05/2010 21:55

Martha Ruth came to mind for me

stressheaderic · 24/05/2010 21:51

Martha Anne is nice. As is Martha Jane.
Rose is lovely but tremendously overused at the moment.
Martha Alice
Martha Lynn

I always like to think of someone special to me as a middle name-family member/friend e.g. my son's middle name is William after my brother -does that help? /grandfather, dh's father's middle name too.

This baby will have his Daddy's name as middle name or if a girl my grandmother's name as middle name.

Middle name not that relevant in day to day life so nice if it has some meaning the family/friends can think of I think.

Does that help?

bigstripeytiger · 24/05/2010 20:44

I like Martha Elizabeth.
