My cat's name. And he's beautiful.

Nice town in Bucks

PrincessPlod · 08/06/2016 23:23

Not for me

babyblabber · 08/06/2016 20:09

I think it's lovely. I would imagine her as girly but quite cool.

alltouchedout · 08/06/2016 10:47

It makes me think of a boy cat, tbh. Sorry!

MariaSklodowska · 08/06/2016 10:42

and flowerpower. 'Ava' is an established girls' name, Marlowe is a surname , hardly comparable.

MariaSklodowska · 08/06/2016 10:40

sorry it is dreadful.

What about Marnie or Marley?

squoosh · 08/06/2016 10:37

There aren't loads of them! There are hardly any.

I quite like it OP. I also like Marla.

flowerpower10 · 08/06/2016 10:32

I like it a bit different but so was Ava 8 years ago but there's loads of them now your child your choice after all you have to say it hundred times a day

PolkadotsAndMoonbeams · 08/06/2016 10:16

I think playwright too. I wouldn't use it because I just couldn't shake the association.

Raines100 · 08/06/2016 10:14

Came on the thread to say just go with Christopher if you want a nod to the author. Then you said the name is for a girl Hmm

Only1scoop · 08/06/2016 07:18

Awful

bloodymaria · 08/06/2016 06:28

I like it, but honestly prefer the spelling 'Marlow'.

AngieBolen · 08/06/2016 06:26

I really like it.

SocksRock · 08/06/2016 05:42

I know a little girl called Marlowe, I was a bit Hmm when I first heard it, but actually I really like it now.

Motherfuckers · 08/06/2016 05:33

I have a Titi (Aunty) Marlo..
Love love love the name Marlo.... Marlowe not so much as it is very masculine.

KoalaDownUnder · 08/06/2016 04:13

Doesn't appeal to me. Sounds/looks quite masculine.

Prefer Harlow.

NadiaWadia · 08/06/2016 03:47

Marla or Marlie much nicer. Surnames as first names are not very appealing to me, especially on girls. Very unfeminine.

Mclaren37 · 08/06/2016 00:40

I really like it. Very cool and much more sophisticated than Marlie/Marley imo. It's true Sienna Miller's daughter is called Marlowe. It was on our long list but we went with Margot - different style - good job as we totally randomly ended up living in Marlowe for a bit :). So long as you know she will never be 'Marlowe from Marlowe' then use it!

purplefox · 08/06/2016 00:40

I love it but it's too "trendy" now for me.

I do love 'M' names though... Mara, Maude, Meadow, Margot

DailyMailGOFuckOff · 08/06/2016 00:30

What about Malory?

pieceofpurplesky · 08/06/2016 00:23

Place in Bucks or Christopher. Not a fan sorry

nudeynuderson · 08/06/2016 00:22

Love Marlowe think it's quite a trendy celeb name though?

Theresomethingaboutdairy · 08/06/2016 00:19

Playwright?

Alisvolatpropiis · 08/06/2016 00:18

Christopher Marlowe ring a bell?
