Re: Martha
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.

What do you think of Mattie as a nickname for Martha?

Way cuter than Martha. But I associate it with Maddie which I associate with Madison.

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.
