Martha Montana?? Really pp? That is the worst name in the world!

None of these names sound good with Martha to me, but maybe it's just because I think Martha is itself such an unattractive name? I'd really think hard about that name choice. And would choose a middle name that she can choose to go by if she's not happy with Martha (so NOT Jane, etc.).

I dont know, I'm kind of partial to Martha thanks to Doctor Who. I'd go with something short like

Ann(e)
Rose
Jane
Grace
Joy
Lee/Leigh
Ray/Rae
May
Lynn

No little girl's name should sound like Barf.

I agree, some of these sound like a 65 year old woman (seriously, Martha Jean?)

If you do go with Martha, I'd pick something that sounds more contemporary: Brooke, Paige, Lauren, Elise, Camille,

I really like the name Martha. Marty would be a cute nickname. I like Rose for a middle name.

What's wrong with Martha? It's not really my taste but it's not horrible. Actually, I know a Marta (Peruvian) and prefer it, and the Spanish pronunciation over Martha.

But I agree with pps who suggest a short, one or two syllable middle name.

Anne
Claire
Rose
Ruby

If you have a long last name I'd do a one-syllable middle like Claire or Eve. If your last name is only one or two syllables, I'd go with a 3-syllable middle. Here are some combos I like:

Martha Anneliese
Martha Caroline
Martha Emmeline
Martha Julianne

I think Martha is a darling name. I like the suggestion of Martha Anneliese.
