Martha or Esther...

[Thehundredthnamechange]

As a sibling for Tabitha?

What goes best?

@ZoyaTheDestroyer

What has her speaking got to do with her being a kitchen drudge? She faffs around with housework rather than hanging out with JC.

Don’t be a dipshit, etc.

Martha is frumpy. Also sounds even worse when shortened to 'Ma'. Esther is lovely though.

I have a Martha. Literally no-one does this.

Love Esther

I can imagine a novel about three puritan sisters called Martha, Esther and Tabitha.

Tabitha would be the wild one who'd be cast out of the settlement by the elders, Martha would be the pious one, and Esther would appear pious but plot twist: end up being part of a secret sapphic thruple with Dorcas and Abigail.

I like the Tess suggestion by pp. So I vote Esther.

This made me laugh. Thank you.

I love them both.
I think I would go for Martha.
Tabitha and Martha is lovely.

Tabitha and ...
Esther
Mary - my choice
Pascaline
Zippora
Elizabeth
Grace
and Lois is funtastic too.

Esther is lovely.

Not so keen on Martha personally.

Jemima is another lovely, underused biblical name.

Martha

I think they’re both lovely names so you can’t go wrong. Arguably, when said together, Esther sounds slightly better with Tabitha than Martha, but it’s not like their names will be reeled off together their whole lives. Maybe keep both as options and decide what suits her best when you meet her?
