Isla - not keen, bit drippy I think

Martha is gorgeous, lovely name

Oh and anyone think of any nice middle names to go with them? All I can think of is Grace or Rose and they seem a bit Meh iyswim ?
I don't have any family names I could really use as I have 4 other dd's and have used most of the nice ones up .

what about your surname as middle name?

I agree with Marla.

Matilda will get shortened to Tilly which is really popular.

Don't like Isla.

Martha is my middle name, and I don't like it as a middle name, but as a first name it's cool. I like Matilda.

I love all of these names. If you could avoid Isla though, that would be a big help to my sister who is 30 this year, and had 25 years of having an unusual name and is now feeling a bit less special ...

I really like Martha. Isla always makes me think of Isla StClair and knitted jumpers.

How about Martha Jane? (Martha Imogen is a lovely combination as well).
