Love Frances (nobody puts Baby in the corner)

I know a Martha, she is also called MATTY.
I have a relative called Frances who is 11 she hates being called Franny, apparently it sounds to much like Fanny and (I quote) 'I am not a front bottom.'

Thanks for all opinions.
I still really like Martha. I'm surprised that so many people have commented how common it is these days. But then in my many years of teaching I've never taught a Jack so who am I to judge?

Frances is growing on me though. This last week I've also heard the names Joscelyn and Rosalind. Both of which I quite like too.

I went on to call my little girl (who was supposed to be Martha) Constance .....Now I really love that name )

Ruth was ruined for me by Jasper Carrot.

I am not an avoider of common names (indeed, I started a thread about it), but I'm not sure how much I like Martha. Would she be Marty? I did once know a Marta, but it sounded like martyr and she changed it to Martha, actually, in the end.

Frances, I like, but not madly. Franny, I like more.

Do like Rosalind.
