Can't decide between these two. It's to go with Johnny, if that helps.

Thanks. Smile

Love them both, Martha 'goes' better with Johnny though IMO.

Love both.

Slightly more in favour of Rosa because (a) know a fab 7 yr old Rosa; (b) Rosa Luxembourg is a minor hero of mine (c) my primary school was taught by missionaries and lots of Bible stories... The whole Mary and Martha thing has always coloured how I feel about that name.

Both lovely - I adore Martha and would have liked it for DD except it really doesn't go with our surname.

Ooh, two of my favourites, and two of the possible contenders if DC2 turns out to be DD2! Martha's gorgeous, and I think would be top of our list if good friends didn't have one already...but Rosa is simple yet elegant, works internationally, lovely on a small child or an adult, and has Rosa Luxembourg and Rosa Parks as excellent namesakes! Unfortunately in my case all DH can think of is Rosa Klebb...

Anyway, utterly unhelpful as I love them both and think they're both great with Johnny. Just wanted to applaud your taste!

Martha Rose

I prefer Martha.

Martha Rose/Martha Rosa is a pretty name though so I see no reason why you can't use both.

I like Martha, but Rosa is my favourite of the two. I only know one Rosa - and she is fabulous!
