Martha? Thoughts please!

[Bunders99]

We both love the name Martha, but I've had some mixed reactions. Some people telling me it's just too old fashioned, even dowdy. Help! Our son is Ned which we think sounds great with Martha. Our other names are Daisy, Poppy, Betty, Kitty, Matilda and Florence. I'm due in 9 days so all thoughts really appreciated!

My aunt is named Martha, it suits her to a T. Her siblings call her Marce or Marcie.

I know a couple of little Marthas - I think it's lovely, it was on my list too.
I quite like all of your names, although think Betty/Kitty seem more like nn's.

Yes to old fashioned and dowdy, and religious.

Beautiful name - was going to be theoretical DD2's name, but it's been pinched by close friends...love it.

One of my front-runners. I adore it. It's also a family name for me so it could well be DC1's name :)

I love it, beautiful!

Gorgeous name

Love it. Know a small one and everyone comments favourably.

I also like Kitty but the rest of your list isn't a patch on Martha!

My friend has a Martha, lovely :)

Just bear in mind that she will get 'marfa' off ither kids. And, bizarrely, 'Arthur'

(Not very MC round here...)

I love Martha, Florence and Matilda ? unfortunately I can?t have any of them for my LO for all different reasons!

Florence or Francesca, but I do like Martha
