Aw. I like
Martha. A very underrated name.
Like others, the snappy
Marta variant appeals to me. If you click on
Martha and then click on "related names" over to the right hand side you'll get a whole list of variants. My favorite is
Martita. There was a stage actress named
Martita Hunt. If you've ever seen "Becket" she plays
King Henry /
Peter O'Toole's mother. Anyway, I always thought her name was plucky.
The only other thought I had was something like
Martine. I'm on a mission to make
Martine more known and this is my shameless way of flaunting her. I suppose any "Mar-" name could work:
Marcella,
Marceline,
Marianne,
Mariah,
Margot, etc.
