I love
Martha and can easily picture it on a little girl, a three year old
Martha lives down the street from me! I'm not fond of Mar as a nickname, I use mar as a noun fairly often and as a nickname, bothers me. I know a
Marta my age (early 40's) who goes by
Marty. While I like
Marta, I dislike
Marty and vastly prefer
Martha.
