Is my name choice too similar to my friend's?

Hi everyone,
I am 31 weeks pregnant and really like the name Martha for a girl. However, a friend within my circle of friends already has a daughter called Margot.
Do you think these names are too similar? The last thing I want is for there to be any bad feeling surrounding my babys name.
I really do love Martha but would probably scrap it if most people thought it was too similar.
Thank you

Not at all similar

I don’t like Martha because it reminds me of the biblical kitchen drudge/handmaids tale, but lots of people do!

Martha is a lot nicer than Margot

Not too similar at all
You're overthinking
Both really lovely (but different) names!!
