What’s everyone’s thoughts on Martha?
I love it, it’s got the old vibe we are going for, but some people have mentioned the biblical story, said it’s too old fashioned etc etc
Already have a Lily.

I will echo those that warn about the pronunciation Mar-fa.

My friend's dd gets this all the time and it doesn't sound good imo.

If you're ok with that go for it but it would drive me batty. I would want to correct people all the time. Also, bear in mind that she herself will have to put up with it too.

How about Abigail?

I like it (which is weird because I really hate the name Arthur which sounds so similar). ‘Marfa’ is not great though and the ‘th’ sound is generally mastered from 4 years +

Martha is beautiful and goes nicely with Lily.

It's not my taste at all, think it's terribly dull.

But it's fine.
