It's an appalling name (for a boy I presume). You might as well just call him Rotherham, Hull or Slough.....

Arlo would be better but, of those 3, Marlowe.

Marlowe has always been in the bank in case I had a girl! It's beautiful

With the e is feminine I think?? (Don't quote me on that)
I would go for Marlow.
I quite like it but seems I'm in the minority on this thread Grin

I like it too but would spell it like the saint: Malo

I like it, and would go for Marlow or Marlowe but definitely not Marlo

Marlowe is the name of Sienna Miller's daughter I think. So have assumed Marlowe to be a girl's name.

I assumed boy!

No. None of them.
It's a place, not a name for a child. St Malo is also a place in France.

If you must have something similar, try Marley. But then everyone will cry whenever they see him/her and think about golden retrievers...

Marlow if boy, Marlowe if girl, Marlo if a dog. I don't like it

Marlo

Why marlo? It's the worst. It's not even from anything.

Like it for a girl, I'd choose Marlowe I think.

No one liked Autumn until it had a Royal connection, now everyone loves it.
I think it's a strong cool name.

Marlow is a place in Buckinghamshire (where I live) so not a name for a person IMO.

Marla?

Wasn't she the female lead in Fight Club?

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 24/11/2016 21:02

Milo maybe? If it's for a boy that is.

I met a little girl called Marlowe just the other day, I think it's a lovely name

None. There are so many beautiful names out there. Not this one.

Marlo Stanfield was from The Wire, and a right nasty bastard! Christopher Marlowe: very literary.

Does a girls name have to sound be beautiful?

Can't it sound strong and kick ass?

Stockard Channing for example.

None.

I know someone who named their child Something Marlowe. I'm not going to say the first name in case she ever comes across this thread, because it would be too obvious it was her. Grin

But the name is try-hard. The first name is possibly even worse than Marlowe, but Marlowe is naff nonetheless.

Oh, and the child's a girl.
