I've been a fan of the name Martha for a long time now. It has a certain charm to it that really appeals to me.

Walt on the other hand, well it's nms.

Thank you all for answering! I'm thrilled to see that so many people like Martha and Walt / Walter.

I don't really like either one of them. They seem dowdy and old-fashioned.

I like Martha and love Marta (don't pronounce them the same).

---

And I dislike Walt and all other longer forms of it (I only like a couple W male names).

Yuck! I really dislike both Walt and Martha. Very old people-ish, not cute for me at all.

They make me think of 2 old people sitting on rocking chairs out on the porch knitting and whittling... maybe a Norman Rockwell drawing sort of image... They would seem a little odd on a young person today, though not necessarily horrid or anything. I think Walton should be left as a surname. Walter's still old man-ish, but fits the fn position better.

I love both Martha and Walter! They're made for each other.

I love Martha. I do kinda of like Walt but not really Walter or Walton. Martha and Walt together reminds me of Wal-Mart. Maybe because I have two teddies that came from Wal-Mart called Wally and Martha.

Aww, they make a great pair. I actually prefer just Walt to either Walter or Walton - Walter is nicer than Walton, but its ending's a bit matchy with Martha.

I never thought Martha was cute, pretty, or fresh. It's old, gray, and quite dowdy, IMO. All I can think of is Martha Washington.

I don't care for Walter either, but it's not as bad as Martha.

I really like the name Martha. It was on my list but hubby vetoed it :( I'm not keen on Walter but after thinking awhile about Walt I find it kind of neat.

Martha & Walt are the sweet friendly old retired couple down the block, not the cute young siblings in the stroller :)

I actually see potential for these as young siblings.
Martha could be cute on a little girl. I see it similar in style to Matilda-old fashioned & kind of dowdy but ready for a comeback. If you go with Martha, you have to go with Walter. Walton sounds on the whole trying to find new surname type names trend. Walter sounds intellectual but friendly.

I like Martha. It's very sweet and good housekeeper-y.

I really like Walter, but am not a huge fan of Walt. It's alright, I can see it being an occasional nickname, but not something to always call a Walter. I don't really like Walton, it doesn't sound as nice. I do like the Waltons, though, so that connection doesn't bother me!

---

I mostly really loved seeing "Martha and Walt." Aww, how awesome would that be to meet siblings with those names?!
