We're down to Martha, Esther or Ada...

[specialsmasher]

Dh loves Martha, to the point where he looks slightly crestfallen if I enthuse elsewhere...

Quick poll might help...

Middle name likely to be Elizabeth...

I adore the name Martha, and Martha Elizabeth is simply divine! x

Definitely Martha, I adore it. I like Esther too, but I have a friend with this name (in her 30's) and she's always hated it.

I do not like Ada at all.

Another vote for Esther!

Martha

Ada

I have been insisting for years that Ada would be making a come back - finally someone agrees with me! I think it's a very cool name

I had a great-aunt Ada..she always spelt faintly of mothballs and mints

*smelt even

Love Martha and Esther. Love Hester even more.

Don't like Ada - it sounds v hard compared to the other two.

Is it only my family that swore 'flamin Ada' as an alternative to 'bloody Nora'?

Martha is my middle name and I hate it! Ada is too old-lady, so Esther is my vote from the three, but I am not too keen on it either.

Esther all the way

I really dislike Ada but the other two are lovely-I have a slight preference for Martha-it is such a soft pretty name

I love them all. I think Martha is a bit more popular - I only know one little Ada - I don't know any Esthers at all, though I had a friend at school called that.

You seem to be leaning to Esther, and it is a GREAT name.

Don;t like Ada.

Martha and Esther are ok.

Esther is gorgeous.

And Elizabeth is a fab middle name (mine and dd1's)

Esther is fab, definitely the one to go for IMO.

My second ds would have been Martha if a girl! I like Esther too but not keen on Ada.

Ooh, I like Esther, but Martha was a favourite but didn't use it as my Dads' wifes' daughter is called Martha, but now DD is here, she is not a Martha anyway.

Not too keen on Ada tbh.

Esther and then Martha. Not too keen on Ada for some reason.

Ada is vile-sorry-awful bingo wings type name.

Love Martha, but Esther definitely my favourite, not too popuar, very pretty and good for child and adult. Classic and timeless. Loving Esther Elizabeth.

popular

Martha but then i have an almost 3 year old Martha

Esther - fab
Martha - good
Ada - not sure

Like Ada best. It's a strong name & a pretty name.
