Re: Martha
in reply to a message by Caroline
I think Marti is very avoidable. I never met a female Marti, though my stepfather had an aunt who was called Martannie; but her name was really Margaret Ann and not Martha.
I don't like Martha at all. It sounds so ugly and drab. I do like Martina.
I think, therefore I judge.

I know a girl around my age named Martha who goes by Marty and a couple older Marthas who go by Marti. I really do think it's an awful nickname, but it's good to know that's it not as common everywhere as it has been in my experience.
the one Martha I knew ...
Who went by a nickname was this very old lady who lived near my aunt and uncle. She went by tootsie, or Miss tootsie.

I know a woman who goes by Toots;her actual name is Doreen. Odd!
