Hiya,
We have just found out we are having another girl. We have a Hettie and are struggling with names for the second.

The only name we can sort of agree on is Martha Florence but would appreciate other people's thoughts about it...

I don't like it, but. Its fits beautifully with Hettie, so Its s yes from me

ladyratterley · 22/05/2017 13:16

I love the name! I recently worked with a Martha who was in her 20's and thought it was a cool name. Classy and cute, but still a strong name.
Martha Florence is gorgeous.

I love Martha Florence and it goes well with Hettie imo

Lovely name

Squishedstrawberry4 · 22/05/2017 13:48

Beautiful. And would belong to a nice girl

Orangedaisy · 22/05/2017 13:50

Agree, it's pretty and not too popular.

flumpybear · 22/05/2017 13:50

Sorry I was wrong .... domestic servants!! 🤔🤔🤔 .... it's getting quite common again

FunnysInLaJardin · 22/05/2017 13:53

I have 2 boys, but my girls names were Martha and Hettie Grin

I also liked Eliza.

You have excellent taste!

auntym · 22/05/2017 14:28

Martha Florence is lovely, go for it!

MiniMaxi · 22/05/2017 14:33

I like it!

vitaminC · 22/05/2017 14:36

I love both Martha and Florence.
What is Hettie short for, btw? Hester? Heather?

fuzzywuzzy · 22/05/2017 14:38

Love the name Martha, I associate it with a colleague who's super smart and the nicer woman I've ever met.

fuzzywuzzy · 22/05/2017 14:38

Nicest

Batteriesallgone · 22/05/2017 14:40

Lots of Marthas around now, I'm a SAHM and there's always a Martha at groups etc. Have to confess I don't like it, but it does go well with Hettie. Florence is lovely

Thank you - think this is the name unless something amazing pops up. We are both from the teaching background so it's hard to think of names you haven't taught!

Oh and Hettie could be short for Henrietta but we just decided to go for the shorter Hettie

Lovely OP.
I also like Marcia Florence.

yumscrumfatbum · 22/05/2017 14:51

I have a Martha she is 9. Her friends call her Marmite as it doesn't shorten well! Obviously I love it x

GinGeum · 22/05/2017 14:54

It's one of my favourite names. SIL is a Martha and it really suits her as an adult too.

Inmyownlittlecorner · 22/05/2017 15:00

I have a Martha Rosy & I love her name! Her big sister is Florence!
