For Kurt, I think it's an okay-ish name though I'd rather stick w/ Kurtis.
For Martha & Bethany, these names appeal to all ages though I've heard it on young girls (especially for Bethany). Overall, they're great.
For Seraphina, I'm not sure. It might look great for a female firefighter since the meaning of the word that this name is based on is 'fiery ones'. For others, they might as well stay away from that name.

Love, love, love Seraphina. It's gorgeous.

Kurt and Bethany are both dated, and ugly. Especially Kurt. Martha is a classic which I'm neutral about. I think I prefer Martha over Mary, anyway.

Kurt- Is okay. I'm not enamored by it or anything. I think of it as a nerdy boy name, I knew a Kurt and he was a dork. But it's not bad, bit dated.

---

Martha- Although I like older names, this is one I can't like. It's so grandma-y and floral patterned muumuus.

---

Bethany- Meh. I like Beth. Not enough to use it, but I like it on other people. Bethany is blah though. Even though it's boring, I think I'd prefer Elizabeth nn Beth.

---

Seraphina- Like the meaning, but I don't get the hype around this name. I see people praising it all over the place. It just seems overly frilly, frufru and a mouthful.

Kurt (like Kurt Cobain) - I went to school with a kid with this name. It's nice, but it doesn't do much for me.
Martha - Nice classic and not too overbearing.
Bethany - It's okay, but a little dated, at least in the U.S.
Seraphina - Seems to always be a favorite on this site, but it's a great, elegant name.

Kurt is just in the middle for me. Not awful. Not fantastic. Just there.

Martha, is very old school. Though I have seen a few babies named Martha lately (maybe it was Gilmore Girls?), so maybe it is poised to make a comeback.

---

Bethany is nice. I actually find Bethan to be more interesting.

---

Seraphina is very pretty, though a bit too frilly for my taste.

Kurt (like Kurt Cobain): this is my husband's name. We pronounce it KUWRT though (sounds like put). So it's hard to be objective about this one.
Martha: I adore Martha. We considered this for our daughter.
Bethany: I hate it. It reminds me of Britney.
Seraphina: I like it.

I love Martha! A woman I know just had a daughter named Martha and I think that it's a gorgeous name

Kurt is not my style, it sounds a bit too old fashioned and clunky.

---

Bethany is standard and not particularly exciting, but is classic and always works.

---

Seraphina is too frilly for my tastes
