HelpRe: Martha, Harriet, and Ruth
in reply to a message by oak
Martha? Could we perhaps pronounce it Marta instead?
Marta, Harriet and Ruth have parents with academic qualifications: not megawealthy but with secure jobs, living in a quiet suburb with a good public transport service. Their girls are good all-rounders, who balance their school work with activities like swimming, road-running and tennis. Marta, who was named after her mother's great-aunt, enjoys art and design. Harriet's name honours her paternal grandmother who in her turn was named after her father, Harold. She and Ruth (their mother's best friend Ruth died young) both sing in a local choir. Harriet wants to teach young children, and Ruth is considering librarianship, though her ballet teacher thinks she might have more fulfilment if she teaches dance herself.
