Martha. The rest are utterly frumpy!

Martha and Miriam x

user1493494961 · 28/10/2020 08:13

Martha or Miriam.

I love Martha, it was on our long list.

Wendy is also lovely and unexpected. It would have been amazing with DH's surname but he just laughed when I floated it!

The rest I really don't like (though it's funny many have said that but about different names - honestly don't put too much stock in it and choose what feels right to you!)

Really like Gloria though I prefer the frillier Gloriana, think it's gorgeous.
I also like Joyce, though prefer the simpler Joy. Go figure lol

I know a few Martha's and Miriam's - under 6s but I'm not a huge fan

I only know an adult Wendy's (2) but again not a fan

Gloria or Miriam

Martha is very normal compared with the others.
Joy is lovely but Joyce ruins it.

I like Miriam and Gloria.

I would add Sylvia, Marnie and Elspeth.

Martha

Strongly dislike Gloria

MikeUniformMike · 28/10/2020 12:41

Joyce - don't like
Gloria - not keen
Martha - fine, but a bit plain
Wendy - not keen
Miriam - best of the list, but only just pipping Martha to the post.

Miriam

Then Gloria and Martha

Then Wendy and Joyce. I love Joy though.

Flymetothestars · 28/10/2020 18:05

Martha. Just love it

VenusClapTrap · 28/10/2020 19:46

Miriam

Whatsyourflava · 28/10/2020 19:49

Martha definitely

Quizeerascal · 28/10/2020 19:51

I like Miriam and Martha and think that Gloria might be due a revival. Not keen on Joyce but love Joy. I have a lovely friend called Wendy but can't quite see it on a baby/child. Hazel is a lovely name that feels like it might have a similar vibe to your choices

SaffieSoph · 28/10/2020 20:49

Martha

None, sorry

CabbageStoppedMyScan · 28/10/2020 20:52

Martha good. How about Esther?
