What do you guys think of the name Marley rose for a girl?
And which way is better spelling Marley or Marlie?

I’ve only ever encountered male Marleys.

I hate the name marnie. I wasn’t intending it as an double barrelled first name just as a first and middle. Thanks for the input guys. I did just check and it is mostly used as a girls name.

That is surprisingly pretty OP!

Marley = dog, Dublin park or singer. If you must use it I'd spell it Marley.

I only know one Marley, and he's a 7 year old boy. Marnie might be a better option.

Marley Rose...Glee

I'm not a fan of Marley but love the Marine Rose suggestion.

bassackwards · 07/02/2018 19:33

Marley = dog for me too I'm afraid. Marnie is a good suggestion tho!

YerAuntFanny · 07/02/2018 19:32

To be fair all 3 Marley's I've known (2 of them are dogs, the other a 9yo boy) are all named in honour of old Bob and it's the first connection everyone guesses just by saying it so you may be on to something there shortandannoying :o

QueenNefertitty · 07/02/2018 19:31

What about Marnie Rose?

Amatree · 07/02/2018 19:29

I love Rose but Marley just makes me think of the dog from the film, sorry! Not a big fan of double barrelled first names, could be a bit of a pain for the child and sounds a bit cutesy if she wants to be a barrister!

ShortandAnnoying · 07/02/2018 19:27

Marley definitely brings Bob Marley to mind so I'd go for Marlie or Marlee

YerAuntFanny · 07/02/2018 19:27

Marley Rose is fine.

Marlie doesn't look right to me but then I've only ever known Marley's so it may just be what I'm used to.

MancUnicorn · 07/02/2018 19:24

The only way I've seen it is as Marley, for two boys I know. I'm not really sure which I prefer, maybe Marley because like I say that's the only way I've seen it x

ScreamingValenta · 07/02/2018 19:16

I definitely prefer 'Marlie'.
