Martz is my current nickname, but I was Arthur at school or Artie.
I love how for middle names the suggestion is Diane. It’s very interesting that my middle name is Martha and my first name is Diana. So, they work both ways.
I use Mar! I think it’s cute!
I found the perfect one! My nickname from now on is Mata.
