HelpRe: Sarah Jane and Martha
in reply to a message by Caroline
I adore Martha. I'd probably have it on my list of possibles if I was pregnant today. It likely wouldn't win but I'd consider it for sure. It's got some spunk but still is humble and has a lot of history. I went to school with one so it doesn't seem too old lady-ish to me.
Sarah Jane is the name of one of my cousins. It seems a pretty 'go-to' Sarah combo, whether as a double name or as a fn/mn. I find it boring and plain although I like both names individually. It's like two really predictable classics together that are meant to seem a little more unusual than either of them apart but it isn't fresh, it's overdone. I like to brighten a classic like Sarah or Jane up with something a bit more unexpected. I pretty much find any double fn with Jane, Louise, Lee or May as the second name is uninspired. Pretty much every hyphenated name on people I've met IRL has been one of those besides the Southern go-to of Mary-_______.
