None.
It's a place name or possibly a surname or a name for a dog.

Stockard Channing''s real name was Susan. She probably thought anything was better than that

Unless you are fan of noir detectives or you want people to think you named your child after your pet I wouldn't bother

How about Marlon, if a boy?

It was good enough for Brando...

Mclaren37 · 26/11/2016 01:28

I like Marlowe and would spell it this way for a girl.

Minnie747 · 25/11/2016 17:40

Marlo. I like it.

engineersthumb · 25/11/2016 06:30

I'm with the majority for once, none of those options are names to saddle a baby with for life. Sorry.

mathanxiety · 25/11/2016 06:21

I love it. I would spell it Marlowe.

I like Marley too.

Pluto30 · 24/11/2016 22:47

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.

Does a girls name have to sound be beautiful?

Can't it sound strong and kick ass?

Stockard Channing for example.

Bagina · 24/11/2016 21:11

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

livinglooney8 · 24/11/2016 21:08

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

MadameJosephine · 24/11/2016 21:05

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

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 24/11/2016 21:02

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

SueGeneris · 24/11/2016 21:01

Marla?

Wasn't she the female lead in Fight Club?

eyebrowsonfleek · 24/11/2016 20:59

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

user1470686892 · 24/11/2016 20:55

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.

PoldarksBreeches · 24/11/2016 18:45

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

Sophronia · 24/11/2016 17:59

Marlo

17caterpillars1mouse · 24/11/2016 17:34

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

KlingybunFistelvase · 24/11/2016 17:12

None

TwitterQueen1 · 24/11/2016 16:07

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...

BonusNewt · 24/11/2016 16:04

I assumed boy!

plimsolls · 24/11/2016 16:03

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