Martha or Kate? This really is it now - due Monday. It's been a long old naming road!

Thanks all for input - it does help!

Both lovely but marginally prefer Kate. It has a special place in my heart though.

Kate.

Martha reminds me of hens and I don't know why.

Im a Kate and its served me well!

Go with Katy, that's my name :) But I get called Kate a lot not that I dislike it, it's just not my name lol!

If you call her Martha, just hope she doesn't marry a Fooker

*Focker

I like both but Matha pips it...also I suspect there will be a LOT of Kates this year after a certain young bride to be...

Not keen on Martha really. Also think it is a bit "of the moment". Kate is much more classic and suits all ages well.

ooh - a late flurry of Kates!

Prefer Kate to Martha

Martha Katherine!

Prefer Katherine or Catherine to Kate too....

Both Kate and Martha are classic inoffensive names. You cannot go far wrong with either of them IMO

Prefer Kate.

sorry I dont like either I think both fairly plain and dull

Thanks for all input all, I spent all night thinking about it - in between going to the toilet every hour!

Martha is wonderful!

Kate is lovely too - but I like it as a nickname for one of the many longer versions. But not for Cathleen. PLEASE not for Cathleen.

Kate, but only just, I like Martha too.

Both lovely names. Maybe when the baby arrives it will look more like one than the other? Good Luck x

Either, but full name Katharine or Catherine rather than Kate which isn't a proper name.

Martha!

Martha! And agree that Martha Kate is lovely

Kate for me.

Definitely Martha, by a long shot. Just don't see the appeal of Kate (Katherine). I work as a teacher and at one point there were 4 Kate/ Katys working alongside me. All very lovely people, born in the 80s, but...

Martha is soft sounding yet strong.

Martha or Katherine but not Kate (at least, not Kate on the birth certificate).
