Old Fashioned First Name + Middle Name Ideas

lindseyjane03

My great-grandma's name was Martha Lydia.  I love the name Lydia and think that is what we might go with if we have a girl, but I also love Martha.  I just don't know what kind of middle name could go with Martha to make it sound less 80 year old woman.  Suggestions??

I went to college with a girl named Martha...so running around out there is a 32 year old named Martha.

Plus a lot of "old lady" names are now the latest crazy--Sadie, Betty, etc. for example. 

Or choose a really trendy middle name (Madelyn, Kayla). 

Once your daughter gets here, it will be her name and will suit her and you'll forget about it being an "old lady" name.

Martha Ann

Martha Grace

Martha June

Martha Jane

Ha! That's funny - we're going with Lydia Ruth for a girl. Martha is also adorable (I'm into old fashion names). Marie goes with everything. Elizabeth may be a good middle name, too. Obviously, I have no idea what you're last name is.

You are KIDDING me!!  If we go with Lydia, Ruth will be out middle name too.  That is DH's grandma's name!  That is CRAZY!!!  I think Lydia Ruth is adorable!

 Back to DH's grandma's name...like I said above, it's Ruth, but her middle name is Ann.  So Martha Ann would also be cute.  

What about Ruth Ann for a middle name, do you do it as one name, Ruthann or RuthAnn or two names?  I'm having trouble with that.

I love the old fashion names too, if we have a girl someday (this one is a boy) I really want to incorporate my Grandma's name in there some where - Laverne.

She passed away this last April

I know an 18 year old named Martha.

What about Martha May? I'm considering using May as a middle name since... you know... I'm due in May I guess that could be kinda goofy though.

I was going to suggest Martha May as well.
