I adore this name.

I think it's making a comeback during the next ten years or so, but I personally don't like it that much. I can't get past the Martha Stewart connection.

I've always liked the name Martha and since I live in Australia, the Martha Stewart connection isn't such a problem. I still think that the name can be used anyway, it is lovely.

Not my style, but it's a good classic name and more interesting than Mary. She won't be one of 10 million Michelles

Love it. Very refreshing. A "still waters run deep" kind of name.

I like Martha, it's one of the old-fashioned ones like Abigail that I liked from when I was a child. (But has not been overdone like Abigail). It sounds American Revolutionary era-ish and I love history. I think more Martha Washington than Martha Stewart.

I hate the th sound - Marta ia nice!

I really like Martha, it's very sweet and girly, although it does still hold a 50s housewife kind of image. I'm not really sure who Martha Stewart is (I'm in the UK). That connection might still be strong in the US so it'll probably take a few more years before it makes a comeback.

Martha... ok.I prefer Marta

I love Martha. It so sweet and unusual. However, I'm Scottish and Martha Stewart was never a big name here. Her trial received hardly any coverage because few people had heard of her. I'm sure it'd be a bigger association in the US, which is a shame.

Sorry, Martha = Martha Stewart.

Martha is such an... old name. It sounds very frontier to me, like an old house wife. And, yes, I think that at this moment in time the Martha Stewart connection IS too strong... maybe in a couple of years when she's not as famous (or infamous) anymore.

I definetly think of Martha Stewart! Sorry! :P It also makes my think of Gilmore Girls, didn't Sookie name her daughet Martha? I missed a couple of episodes and when I heard that, let's just say I didn't love it :)

It makes me think of Martha Stewart, sorry, I like Marta better. :)
