Martha Frances

[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] is here! She’s named for my mother and grandfather, though the name didn’t come to us till the very end of my pregnancy–my husband and I had a good sit-down and talked through what we really wanted in our child’s name, and unfussy underused classic saints’ names it was. We’ve been playing her all the great songs about Marthas by [name_m]Tom[/name_m] Waits, [name_m]Loudon[/name_m] [name_m]Wainwright[/name_m], the Beatles, [name_m]Jefferson[/name_m] Airplane, etc, and collecting the [name_m]George[/name_m] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] children’s books. :slight_smile:

Having trouble uploading a picture…ah well!

Thank you so much for all the kind comments! She definitely fits her name and I love it more and more. I get some surprised reactions to it as we’re out and about, but I kind of enjoy that. :slight_smile: It’s so nice getting some Nameberry love, though! xo
