Yeah, I'd looked at the related names, and none of them particularly jumped out at me. Marta is starting to grow on me a little, but someone in another post brought up the issue of names being too rhyme-y if they both in an "a" sound, which was part of the issue with Martha in the first place. I love Martine, though! I've only met one person with that name, and its close to Martha without the double "a" issue. And it goes with some of the names I like really well.

Bianca Martine (my favorite of the combos!)
Alice Martine (although Martha/Marta could work here, too)
Tera Martine
Sofia Martine
Kendra Martine

I've also toyed with the idea of using my mom's middle name (Ruth) if I can't find a variant of her first that I like, but I tend to have issues finding a middle name that flows well with single syllalble first names. I'm generally more likely to use a short mn with a longer fn, so reversing that seems a little abrupt to me. But I'm really starting to love the name Ruth! Just having mn issues with it.
