I know a 18-month-old Martha. Great, strong-but-feminine name. Lovely.

Would seriously consider it for a DD. Love it.

DastardlyandSmugly · 22/06/2010 12:09

I love it too. Was my lovely nan's name.

It's a great name

I chose this user name in homage to the heroine of a set of novels by Doris Lessing I really like, and her nn in the books is 'Mattie' which is really nice too!

I think I think it's really pretty - what name as middle name as that will probably decide it

Not that keen I am afraid. It is one of these old names trying to make a come back but I just think it is not a pretty name.

What about Mabel?
