Martha, to me, is the sister who was stuck with all the housework while Mary skived off and listened to Jesus instead! And Sophia, with its meaning of Wisdom, suggests a more intellectual person. So those impressions are certainly discordant; I don't enjoy the two names with -a endings either; and though I like Sophia (soFYEa) a lot, I've had a very bad experience with a Martha; so on a personal level as well, I don't enjoy the combo.
