HelpRe: Martin
in reply to a message by Avis
I love the name. I just love it. I think it sounds very handsome, sweet, and sophisticated. I hate Marty though. I would just constantly correct anyone who called him Marty that his name was Martin.
The only thing that stops me from using this name, is that in my accent, or where I am, everyone taps their t's and often turn them into a d sound. Meaning, that names like Patty, Catalina, and Natalie, all come out sounding like Paddy, Cadalina, and Nadalie. They also put glutteral stops in names in replace for a letter. I hate this, and it's my pet peeve to hear people say the name Martin more like "MAR(glutteral stop/tapped t)-un" I'd constantly be wanting to correct them and say "No, it's mar-TIN"
