Why not just go with Arlo or Milo?

Luke is manly.
I like the others as they are.

DarkDarkNight · 20/04/2017 19:51

I like it but agree it looks better spelt Marlow/Marlowe. Marco looks unfinished.

greeeen · 20/04/2017 19:42

I really like Oscar.

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 20/04/2017 10:26

Dexter or Luka.

BasicBetty · 20/04/2017 10:25

Oscar is my favourite.

Singingforsanity · 20/04/2017 00:01

I also prefer Luca with a C.

Marlo, sorry that's iPad misspelling not me misreading

Kazzawazza69 · 19/04/2017 21:33

I know a little girl called Marloe.

pardrej · 19/04/2017 21:17

Marla is a girl ime

countycouncil · 19/04/2017 21:10

I like it, cool and sounds like it's spelt.

shaggedthruahedgebackwards · 19/04/2017 21:04

I'm not keen

Much prefer your other 4 options, especially Dexter which I think is a great name

AntigoneJones · 19/04/2017 21:03

Marlon. or Arlo, one or the other.

Cagliostro · 19/04/2017 21:01

I'm finding boy names super hard too!

I don't like the spelling Marlo, Marlow(e) is nicer IMHO, I would think of Milo or Arlo perhaps?

I would think of Luca with a C (that's possibly because I know one)

RusholmeRuffian · 19/04/2017 20:52

It reminds me of Marlo from The Wire. Not keen. Like Milo though.

Boy names are so much harder to pick than girls Confused

It needs a w on the end, otherwise it looks a bit silly. Marlow isn't my sort of name, but it's much better than Marlo.

originalbiglymavis · 19/04/2017 19:29

Hmm it looks like an unfinished name (Marlon). I like Oscar. Never met a bad Oscar!

CassandraAusten · 19/04/2017 19:29

I prefer the other four choices in your OP.

There is a name Milo yes but just came across Marlo today, can also be spelt Marlow/Marlowe

SuperBeagle · 19/04/2017 19:27

I don't like it, but at least spell it Marlow or Marlowe.

Gallavich · 19/04/2017 19:27

Marlowe is nice
Marlo looks daft

Flumplet · 19/04/2017 19:25

Is it not milo?
