Hi,

I am due at the end of the month and having trouble deciding on a boy's name. DP is desparate for Luca but I really like Marlo. I have read that it can be used for a girl or a boy. I was just wondering if it is generally used as a name for a girl rather than a boy? I like loads of other names for boys but DP is completely stuck on Luca and Marlo seems to be the only other name that he is even slightly considering so I think my best chance is to fight for it! Thanks

I know a baby boy called Marlow. I'm not keen, personally.

I think it's better spelled Marlow/Marlowe on a boy. There's Marlon as well which is a bit more masculine.

I've never heard of that as a name and really like it and also love the spelling you have used. If you like it, I would go for it.

I live near Marlow too, I don't feel weird about it as a name though.

Sounds very weird to me because I live near Marlow.

Yes there was on in the wire, he want a particularly nice guy but it doesn't matter because it's a great name. I would use it, with any spelling.

I really like it but I think there was one in 'the wire'.

I'd still use it though.

I like both Luca and Marlowe (I haven't seen it spelt Marlo before though)

CharlesRyder · 02/07/2014 21:35

I like it but would spell it Marlow or Marlowe.

I've never seen that spelling, and dn't reall take to it (it looks unfinished).

Marlowe (like the playwright) is a lovely name, and definitely a boys name.
