HelpRe: Martha
in reply to a message by Tuesday
Sometimes, when I look back on names I liked when I was younger (I started namenerding as a teen), I marvel at just how girly and princess-y my taste in feminine names was. Clarissa and Cecily were probably my top two for ages, and I've recently revisited old favorite Guinevere. But as I got older I eventually grew to prefer Carol to Caroline, and liking other names - such as Maude - that weren't so... light and frilly.
Martha has never made that change, though. I have never, ever liked Martha. I even prefer Margaret to Martha, and Margaret is another name I've never warmed up to (though I like the French variants Margot and Marguerite). It's not even that I think Martha is particularly harsh. I just have the frumpiest image in my head when it comes to Martha.
Conversely, I find Marta to be sort of charming.
