Martha's Middle Name...

It feels like I like way, way too many MN options for [name_f]Martha[/name_f] (one of my top names). Which of the following is your favourite?

[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]/[name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] (I say them slightly different)
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Natalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]/[name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Katharine[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]

These are my favorite…

[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are; [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Imogen[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Katharine[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. Does that help at all. :wink:

@lovemysweeties - here’s my thing, haha; [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f] sort of honours my nana (who’s incredibly important to me, I wouldn’t be who I am without her), and my mum, and great-grandmother ([name_f]My[/name_f] mum and nana have [name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Ann[/name_f] as middle names, love lilies, and my great grandmother was [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]), but I feel like a hyphen name would mean that I’d always need a hyphen name :frowning:
I feel something special with [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] as well, and I’ve always gone back to [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] & [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] for [name_f]Martha[/name_f], haha.

If you’re worried about the hyphen, you could always go with [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Anne[/name_f], as just two separate middle names. [name_f]My[/name_f] brother and I both have two middles and I quite enjoy it, actually.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite [name_f]Martha[/name_f] combo of yours is [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]. I almost always prefer [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] to [name_f]Juliette[/name_f], but I think the latter is just perfect with [name_f]Martha[/name_f]. I’m also really liking [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].

While I appreciate the name [name_f]Martha[/name_f], I think it may be worth noting that I know two [name_f]Martha[/name_f]'s my age (early twenties) and both of them go exclusively by their middle names ([name_f]Elise[/name_f] + [name_u]Lynn[/name_u]) and avoid telling people their first name whenever possible.

It sounds like [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lilly[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f]/[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lilianne[/name_f] is actually the perfect combo for you, so special, in so many ways. I was not sure about the hyphened name either but after hearing people out, I preferred it for myself. Maybe [name_f]Lilianne[/name_f] is the perfect fit for you.

I’ll definitely think about [name_f]Lilianne[/name_f]. :slight_smile: I do feel something special for just [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] too though, haha.

I can so relate. You will know when that perfect fit happens.

Hopefully!

[name_f]My[/name_f] favorites are:

[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Juliette[/name_f]
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lilianne[/name_f] (I like this better than the hyphenated or double name options.)
[name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]

Good luck!

I like [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] as I think [name_f]Violet[/name_f]'s modern/nature vibe balances out some of the potential dustiness of [name_f]Martha[/name_f].

I adore [name_f]Martha[/name_f]! I’m happy to see another [name_f]Martha[/name_f] fan. :slight_smile: It used to be my top choice to honor my Grandma [name_f]Mattye[/name_f], but I decide on [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] instead. All of your combos have pretty good flow, but my favorites are [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Martha[/name_f] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f].
