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

Zombie. Little Martha Iris. Evie. Harriet or Amelia would be around 7 or 8 years old now

Martha Iris is lovely. I much prefer it to your other choices.

Both lovely names but not together. You need a consonant after Martha (I don't know why but you just do).

Martha Jane
Martha Ruth
Martha Clare

...and apparently only one syllable (I don't know why again).

Gah! Zombie, sorry

It's a beautiful name but I think I like Iris Martha better. Or even more then that Iris Amelia - Amelia softens Iris I think and flows really well. Martha sounds quite heavy. I don't dislike it but I prefer your other choices bar Harriet (which is my irrational hate girls name. Just me I think because it's generally really well received on here). I just find it quite masculine and hard and I really dislike all the shortened forms. Good luck op!

I love it!

Also love Harriet Iris, Martha Harriet and Iris Martha or Iris Harriet. Iris is one of my absolute favourite girl names.

I think Martha is lovely and I know a beautiful Iris!

Also love Harriet, Miranda and Maude.

Martha Iris sounds lovely!

This Martha Iris is almost 8 now and in year 3 at school. OP has probably made her decision .

I have an Iris Ivy Olivia I love Martha, beautiful name.Good luck with your decision and your new little bundle.x

Oops! OP, is she Martha Iris?Amelia? Harriett? Don't leave us in suspense

Martha Iris does sound like she could be 90 years old but nothing wrong with that! My great-aunt was Martha and my grandmother was May, two names which are very much in vogue again now. They would have been born around 1915. I like both names. I come across a lot of baby Martha's in London but if that doesn't bother you it's very nice. DS has the name of a 90 year old man in Germany where DH is from (although it's not considered grandad-like at all here) but that doesn't bother us at all.

I think it has all come around again and Martha and Iris have become current again now. I know a beautiful 15 yr old Iris and three girls called Martha and Marta all aged between 3 and 9 years.

I love Martha, but to my ear Martha Iris doesn't flow nicely. I don't like 2 x 2 syllables I think.

Oh - a zombie! Exciting.

Yes May is lovely too!

Martha Iris is lovely!

Martha Iris is a beautiful name, very classy sounding. My children all have very unusual names, and sometimes they don't thank me for it! But I think Martha Iris isn't common but it's not too unusual sounding xx
