Is this name frumpy?

[allrags]

I like the name Martha but can't decide if it's sounds frumpy. More specifically, I think it's lovely for a baby, girl and younger woman but perhaps a bit frumpy for the older lady. I don't know if that makes sense! Your opinions are much appreciated to help me decide.

Yes I'm afraid I do see it as a dull/frumpy name, sorry! It seems quite popular at the moment though.

I don't think Martha is frumpy at all, it is granny chic I suppose but nothing like Gertrude, I would consider that frumpy!

I don't know about frumpy, but I know i like it. Couldn't have it for my DD for various reasons, and am happy with her name as it is, but I do like Martha. I work with a 27 year old one and know one other.

Who told you it's frumpy? It's lovely!
I know an adorable 3yo Martha.

I love it

Is it frumpy?

Yes.

Sorry.

The prettiest, coolest girl in my year at school was called Martha. It's not frumpy. Or, if it is, it is frumpy in a very cool way. Aforementioned Martha is still great now, incidentally.

My Martha is 3. I did get some funny looks from older ladies when I told them what her name was, but don't think its frumpy. Depends on the person, I guess, but can be quite funky, I think!

I don't think it's frumpy. I know a 50 yr old Martha and also a 5 yr old.

I don't think it's frumpy at all. It's elegant.

I love Martha. It was on our list, but we have boys!

Martha is timeless.

I always out it in the same group as Maria and Anna, classic, simple but not over-used.

It's my middle name and I dislike it. It is frumpy and embarrassing.

I find it very frumpy. I think of it as a name for hens, along with Edna.

Not frumpy at all! I know a little Martha, I think it's gorgeous (as is she )

Edna is a vile name. Poor old Martha shouldn't be lumped in with Edna!

I like it :)

I like it only one I know is 25 and lovely i think its a cool classic rather than grannyish

Ooh Edna is rather nice actually! Makes a change from Ella, Elsie, Eva...

I like it, not frumpy at all.

I think it is frumpy, sorry. I guessed Martha would be the name when I read the thread title.

....BUT, I don't know any Marthas. Name associations change as soon as you know a person with that name iyswim.

Martha is not at all frumpy! It's a lovely gentle, down to earth, classic name.

Love it especially as not over used. Don't like Edna tho .....reminds me of the evil tv in willow the wisp (showing my age now)
