If I like Martha...

Florence, Ava, does anyone have any other suggestions? I have a feeling this child will be DS's suggestion of Doorframe if I don't get my act together.

Claudia was the other name that she liked

Agatha

Mary! She'll likely be the only one in her class, everyone can spell it, a good classic name.

We have a Martha and an Alice.

Nancy!

Or Matilda, could be shortened to Tilly
