Martha. Definitely not Wren.

Martha's growing on me lately.

Etta definitely. There are loads of Martha's around at the moment - I know of two babies (both friends of mine) who have recently had girls and both called them Martha. I don't think there will be as many Etta's out there.

Love them all except Cora. Wren and Etta are my favourites.

I wouldn't worry about other people's mispronunciations, people are always gonna people ¯\(ツ)/¯

Martha or Wren.

The thing is, regional variations aren't mispronunciations. A person with a Kent, or Essex, or London accent who pronounces Etta and Martha as 'eh-a' and 'marfa' isn't getting the pronunciation wrong, and you can't politely correct them the way you can with a genuine mistake.

I'm sure it wouldn't bother lots of people but they are better than me; it would send me demented.
