Marlowe? For a girl

DC due this month. We’re having a surprise but have picked the name Arthur for a boy.

For a girl, DH likes his grandmothers name Meredith but I’m not too keen. I did however love the name Marlowe I’ve had it on my baby name list since I was about 18 and made one just after we started dating!

He’s a bit worried about his family banging on about how different/unique it is but I said we can’t let that stop us using the name? As he does like it too. The fact it’s unique is a con for him

Is it reaaaaally that unique? I think it’s lovely and a bit different but not enough for it to be perceived as bad

Ps. Meredith is a beautiful name.

Have you just added an E to the town near High Wycombe?

Was he/she conceived after a night on the pills in said town? Confused

It's a pleasant enough town, but a girls name? Nah.

I much prefer Meredith tbh. I really don't like Marlowe at all but it's not my baby.

Why would you want to name your child after a town in Buckinghamshire? Confused
