WDYT of Martin?

Dated or refreshing?

DS1 has been watching a cartoon in which one of the brothers is named Martin and the name is growing on me. 

Also my birthday is on the feast of St. Martin so it would be a very obscure connection to me.

How do you think it fits with big brothers Theodore and Francis?

I love the name! Our first DS will be named Martin, so obviously I'm partial to it.

I think it works with those boy names. It's a little less formal maybe? But I like it.

Always had a crush on Marty McFly!!!! I think Martin makes a great sibset with Theodore and Francis. Also like the feminine variants Martine and Martina.

I think it is a little plain, but not bad.  NMS but a whole lot better than many other names people are choosing.

I am not crazy about it (seems nerdy or something), but it does go well with your other boys.

it's DH's grandfather's name. It's on our list for MNs. We're devout Lutherans, so I've always though it was too dorky for us to use as a FN.

Emily and Martin

It's DH's name. I like it and it goes well with Theodore and Francis.

I've really started digging this name in the past year.  I like the nn Marty.  I think it goes really well with your other kids' names.

Martin is FIL and DH's grandfather's name as well. I think it's just okay.. not nearly as interesting as your other boys' names.

I think its quite refreshing and goes great with your DSs

I think it is a great name and it goes well with the sibling names. I'm confused by the people who say it sounds plain. I'm not sure how a name that never cracked the top 60 could be considered plain. Particularly since right now it is number 258.  I would call that unusual (in a good way!).
