What’s everyone thoughts on Marlow or Monty for our boy born 4 days ago? We’ve had awful trouble deciding on a name and it’s taken us this long to find a common ground on two.
His older sister is called mabelle. It wasn’t intentional to have them both with an M name it seems M names are what we like 🙈

Of the two, Monty.
Marlow is very nice - as a town, but as a name seems a bit 'we likrd Arlo, but wanted matchy-matchy names so we chose Marlow'

I prefer Marlow but tbh it reminds me of marshmallow. Or Marlon (Brando)

I would say Monty too! The only Marlowe I’ve met was a little girl although I know it can be a boy name too.

Monty

I prefer Monty. I also see Marlow as a girls name.

I think of Marlow as a girls' name, usually spelled Marlowe.

Monty is better, I suppose.
