Down to 2 girls names, thoughts please!

DD2 is due in a few weeks. DD1 has a Gaelic/Irish name (we are Scottish). Surname will start with Mc. We’re down to Martha or Evelyn, which does everyone prefer? Middle name will likely be violet after a family member.

Martha, 100%

I’m not sure you’d hear Marfa if you’re in Scotland? I thought that was a very particular Accent to the South of England.

Evelyn sounds elegant and beautiful. Martha, less so.

Martha definitely ❤️Although Evelyn is lovely too
Martha is perfect though
No I don't think it will be shortened @Littleelffriend

Martha! So lovely, perfect for any age. I have nothing against Evelyn (the name of one of my cousins, back when it was super unusual) but I just love Martha.

Both nice but the eve-lyn ever-lyn thing would get on my nerves

Thinking about it I really like Martha

Martha x

Evelyn or Zara. I live in Scotland I’ve only ever heard it pronounced EV-lyn. C

Evelyn is lovelier than Martha and I've never heard it pronounced with an R in it. It is pronounced Ev-eh-lyn to me. Never Eve-lyn.

I like Zara too!

Oh well seems like no one hates any of them! Thanks everyone

Martha

Of the 2 I prefer Evelyn but I even more prefer Evelyne (eevlyn rather than ehvlyn). Not keen on Martha but it does get lots of love on here and don’t think it will be as common or at least not as common as nicknames and diminutives of Evelyn.
