In real life, I've mostly encountered it as a last name. I know a Martin slightly, but he's always called Scooter. (He's way too old for such a babyish nickname, but his dad is also named Martin and is called Speedy. You get the idea.)
My stepfather's father was named Martin, called Marty. He died years before I came into the picture.

I don't care for the name, because it seems to me like I've read more than one book where the very stereotypical gay-best-friend was named Martin and was a caterer or a home decorator and was full of love advice.
