[Opinions] Martha
Replies
I think Martha is ugly-cute. It's my dog's name, hence my username. I think it's pretty funny on a dog.
I appreciate its old fashioned, no-nonsense austerity. I wouldn't use it on a child, I don't think, but I'd be delighted to meet another person's little Martha.
Can't get behind Bertha or Erma. I find them almost offensively ugly.

Agreed
Martha as a dog's name ...
Ever heard of "Martha Speaks"? It was a PBS kiddie show, based on a book, where the dog, Martha, develops the ability to speak after she eats alphabet soup.

I didn't hear about it until after I named my Martha. I still don't come across many Martha dogs, but I didn't anticipate coming across any. I think the show is responsible for a little spike in Martha dogs.
Yeah, far more dogs are named Bella and Bailey and Sadie. :)
The song “Martha My Dear” was about Paul McCartney’s dog, Martha.
Now, I did know that before I named her and I planned on that being the cute lovey song I sang to her all the time. But instead I sing "Jolene" by Dolly Parton but replace Jolene with Martine. It's ridiculous.
The only experience I have with a real live Martha is a cheerleader I went to school with who at the time was beautiful but her personality didn’t match her outer beauty. Fast forward to today and finally her outward appearance reflects her inner self.
It’s an okay name but my experience with a real life Martha has tainted my view of the name.

Well, Martha is at least better than Bertha or Erna, but that's really not saying much.
I like very few names with the th sound, and Martha is one of the ugliest ones. It's just frumpy and I picture a big, loud, frumpy woman stubbing out her cigarettes in her not-quite-empty coffee cup and hanging on the phone all day spreading rumors.
