In favor of what? Britney and Amber?

I don't see Susan or Mary etc being worse or less than at all.

My grandma's names were Opal & Rosalie. I've met a little Opal, & a little Agnes.
Jean, Margaret, Marie, Marian, Florence, Patricia, Pamela all seem timeless. Also Ezra, Joseph, Wynn, Merle, and Geoffrey from the same older generation.

I like Martha but if she grows up awkward or fat or ugly having that name just makes her row even longer to hoe.

I think Susan is great, esp. Susie as NN. I think many of these late Boomer/early Gen X names will be very popular in 10 years or so when they are the next wave of "grandma names".

Martha! That is a good one. I can imagine it being really cute on a little girl, too. Admittedly I don't love Marty but I bet it would grow on me. I struggle with liking a lot of nicknames at first, but once I associate them with a real person, I warm up to them.

My mom's name was Kathleen. Lovely Irish name, Kitty is a common nickname as a PP said.
Other "mom" names from my childhood -- Alice, Joan, Sonia, Eleanor, Frances/Franny, Lilian, Lenore
I love Sonia and would have considered it for my DD if I didn't have a very good friend with that name. Also love Frances/Franny.
Eleanor and Lilian have become very popular though, especially Eleanor. I honestly feel like all the "E" names are over done these days: Emma/Emily, Eleanor/Ellie, Evelyn/Evangeline/Eva. etc.
