Why Spanish?
in reply to a message by LadyBug18
Martina is a very international name, so why would it sound Spanish?
It is used here in Sweden too. I think it sounds classy.
You could use the full name and tell others to do so, but once she's in school her friends might call her Tina. Unless she protests herself.
