Personal experiences with the name Martin: | Edit

My 8 year old is named Martin, He is named after a great grandfather. We love his name, it is not too common and fits his personality.

My 2 yr old son is name Martin. For the most part we call him "Mars." He is truly out of this world. And we love a single syllable nickname. Also note, we do live in So Cal and he gets Mar-teen - a lot, which is not bothersome to our family.

My little brother is Martin. He's not very big for his age, but kind and loving, and very much a leader. He was named for his great-great-grandfather. His twin is Markus.
