I used to look after a Martha Holly

Martha Lois Cliff

i absolutely love the name 'hope' but for some reason i don't think it sounds right with martha.....cliff. not sure if 2 syllables would be better for a middle name. although tbh i think you should just go for the second name that you love because in life no-one actually 'reads' your whole name out loud.

sorry i'm not much help am i? and Confused

Martha Millicent

Martha Lucy

Martha Frances

Martha Violet

Martha Poppy

Martha Eloise

Martha Catherine

Martha Helene

If I had another dd I would like her middle name to be Martha but I think that I would struggle to find a first name that would work with it as a middle.

LaDiDaDi - don't you like Mary Martha?

llareggub · 26/07/2008 23:57

If you want Sarah, use it. You'll hardly ever say her full name anyway.

zwiggy · 26/07/2008 23:58

like frances and millicent,

but Martha Cliff is quite difficult to say, a bit lispey with the th and f sounds

Not really keen on Mary though it would cover two greatgrandmothers and a great aunt in one go!

Martha May (Though reminds me of Maggie May)
Martha Grace
Martha Elizabeth

I think Martha Hope is fine. I also think you should use Sarah if you really want to.

KateF · 27/07/2008 16:33

My close friend is Martha Maria Mercy - she doesn't recommend it . I think Sarah flows better as a middle name although I like Hope as a name in itself.

I've had a rethink - Martha Lydia

i really like jane as a middle name, not too popular these days,
Martha Jane Cliff. sounds nice, and could be shortened to mj, which is rather sweet

pellmell · 28/07/2008 16:20

I love the name Martha.
I think it's hard to suggest middle names without knowing what the last name sounds like(how many syllables etc)

pellmell · 28/07/2008 16:22

O.k

I like Martha Mae

Hulababy · 28/07/2008 16:25

Martha Rose sounds lovely.
