what do you think of Marley ?

[milosmummy16]

Hi, what's your opinion on Marley for a boy ? I think it's quite a sweet name (i had a hamster years ago called Marley 😃) but I just can't imagine a grown man being called this. I have other names on my list but just wondered what others thought as not seen this name mentioned on here!

[chowmeinchick]

I think of Marley and me straight away but I like the name 😊

[ScarletSienna]

Because I only know of a girl with that name (and the dog in the film), I can't imagine it for a boy.

[AfunaMbatata]

It's a lovely name! I know a grown man with that name though and he is lovely and kind so that may be why I think that.

[sooperdooper]

Sorry but I think of Marley & me, it's a dog's name to me

[museumum]

It totally makes me think of the dog from the film. Sorry.

[sandgrown]

It makes me think you must be a reggae fan

[AuntieStella]

In RL, I've only met an equine Marley.

It's also surname in Dickens' Christmas Carol, and I whenever I hear surname-names I'd expect a boy

[M5tothesouthwest]

Dog name. Sorry!

[Saucysausages]

I think of bob Marley so assume mixed race child

Also Marley is on Teen Mom UK - Marley for a boy, Manley is a dad, Marlia is a girl version of the name. So it may be popular with that demographic that's the only place I've heard it

[VanillaSugar]

Another one saying Marley & Me.

TV series: Marley's Ghosts.... only, Marley is a woman....

[BikeRunSki]

I'd assume he was named after Bob Marley.

Like the brother I knows called Dylan and Lennon.

[milosmummy16]

I do agree when I first heard it I thought of the film Marley and me but not anymore, as it keeps growing on me. Hmmm still not sure x

[chantico]

I think the Dickens will stand the test of time rather better than a current (nit terribly well known) TV series.

Ditto the labrador (sorry)

[Joinourclub]

Definitely a dogs name.

[Bluntness100]

Totally a dogs name, sorry.

[BigGreenOlives]

Know a 17 year old boy called Marley, it always sounds odd when his mum is talking about him but fine when he's there...

[OliviaStabler]

Dog

[delilahbucket]

I know a Marley. He's not mixed race or a dog. The name suits him.

[Ropsleybunny]

Nice name for a Labrador.

[thegirlupnorth]

A great name for a cat or dog.

[GeillisTheWitch]

Have to agree with most, it's a dog's name.

[PotteringAlong]

Dog or ghost. Not a boy.

[OhTheRoses]

Ridiculous.

[skyzumarubble]

Dog.
