DD has a Marley in her class. Never really given the name much thought before and ordinarily, it's probably not my sort of name but this boy is so lovely that it's created quite a positive association.

I like it and I don't normally like surnames as first names.

Marley's ghost springs to mind. I don't like it, and I would also assume that it was a girl.

My DD is Marley so obviously I love the name! I wouldn't have used it for a boy, but I've heard of it being used as either boy/girl.

Marley's ghost was a good fella in the end, trying to make sure Ebeneezer didn't go down the same road.

I thought Bob.

What about Marlowe?

Marley is great - cool, masculine and underused.

Not my cup of tea, but that might be because of the two Marleys I know.

(Both of whom are boys, but one of their mums would have used it for a girl)

I really like it.

Yeah, quite like it. It's unusual. I knew a Harley at school. His parents were into motorbikes.

haha I was so annoyed when that film came out (after DD was born!) as everyone thought I'd got the name from that!
