Views on the name Martha Iris?

[Louisa12]

I am due to have a baby girl in 3 weeks and have always liked Martha but my husband isn't that keen. We have also considered names such as Harriett, Amelia and Evie but can't seem to make a decision. Would appreciate any views.

Thanks

Martha is nice. Much prefer it to your other suggestions.

Love them all my dd2 is a Martha chosen by dp and i wasn't too keen at first but now love it and she couldn't be anything else!

Lovely.

Out of the 4, i like Evie the most Might have something to do with the most adorable 3yr old at my nursery with the same name tho

I think Martha is a lovely name - like retro chic. I think Iris is really sweet too, especially if it's your favourite flower or something.

Of the others I think
Harriett - should be Harriet - I like it, Harriets I know are always really nice but really sensible people
Amelia - too girly-girl for me but don't hate it
Evie - bit popular and girly for me but again not awful.

Not sure about pairing Martha Iris just cos personally I have a thing about the first name ending with a vowel and the second name starting with a vowel making it difficult to say. I'd follow Martha with a middle name starting with a consonant and not ending in --a. But if the vowel thing doesn't bother you personally then they're two lovely names

Lovely

I LOVE Iris. Really love it.

Martha is OK, I can't understand why I don't like it more but I just don't (might be due to a nasty classmate called Martha which is clearly just a personal issue). It also makes me think of the word Barf .

just to hijack for a sec, what is with the double t on Harriet? DD is Harriet and when she was born we got a fair few cards spelling it wrong. I've only ever seen the one t spelling which was one of the things we liked about it. Drives me crazy!

I like all the names but not too keen on Martha. Sorry

I like all the names, except that Evie is too popular.

I adore the name Martha, and it's a nice normal name as well that will suit a child and an adult.

Don't like Martha at all, Evie is nice though.

Martha Iris is very very nice.

Don't like Evie because I'm not keen generally on diminutives.

Martha Iris is lovely both were on our girls shortlist . Not so keen on the others though.

Lovely.

I really like Harriet and Iris.

I'm not that keen on Evie and there are a lot of them.

i think martha iris is a v nice name

I like it, especially Iris
Whilst I like the name Martha it isn't exactly sexy in my book iykwim

Martha Iris is beautiful. Like Harriet and Amelia too but prefer Martha.

I think Martha is lovely .
I am currently battling DH on this since it's my no.1 name and DC is due any day !

Sadly , he's really not keen.

I like both Martha & Iris, but not together - when one ends with a vowel & the other begins with one you get an R in between (MarthaRIris)

Martha Iris is a beautful name

Actually quite interesting this as when we called dd Martha we had a few comments about the name.
When i posted on here i got a pretty much unanimous vote of over 100+ saying it was a lovely name so helped me feel better about it.

Martha is a lovely name. I have to say if I had had a girl she would have been Harriet so i'm slightly biased towards that one

i think martha iris is a baby 90 year old

sorry lol, i dont personally like it

but its your baby, and i bet there's people who hate my little boys name

My 5 year old is Martha Iris. Martha because I loved the song Martha's Harbour and Iris because I love Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls.
Martha means lady, and Iris means Rainbow. She's my little amazing lady and she's God's promise to me just like the Rainbow.
