These are boy goldfish?

EddietheEagle · 02/01/2023 16:01

For which breed of dog?

Purplemagnolias · 02/01/2023 16:01

Ozzy could shorten to Oz - The Wizard 🧙‍♀️ of Oz!!

Ozzy could be a nickname for Oscar as well as Oliver or Oswald suggested by previous posters. All perfectly good names. There was also a famous designer and cartoonist called Osbert (Lancaster), and a famous Norman conqueror called Osmund (he organised the compiling of the Domesday Book).
I'm afraid Marley just makes me think of Dickens and Reggae - not bad, obviously, but rather overpowering associations - and vinyl floor tiles.

I know 2 Ozzy’s and 1 Marley, all cock- a-poos. Get a grip !

Should this be in the dog house? Are you getting a puppy?

SirChenjins · 02/01/2023 09:32

Both are dog’s names - unless you are naming a puppy and we’ve all just assumed you’re talking about a human baby?

Jacob Marley was a Dickens character

Can you use Jacob?

horseymum · 02/01/2023 09:30

Both horse names to me.

greennavy · 02/01/2023 09:29

V chavvy. Sorry OP

Bob? Austin?

23mum · 02/01/2023 08:20

I quite like Marley but only for a girl

Purplemagnolias · 02/01/2023 08:19

Ozzy Shock you must be joking?

xprincessxjanetx · 02/01/2023 01:00

Neither, they sound too much like pet names to me.

Xmasgrinchywinchy · 02/01/2023 00:02

Are you giving birth to a dog?

belowfrozen · 01/01/2023 23:52

Both are dogs names

purplepencilcase · 01/01/2023 20:44

Dogs names to me too!

Sorry but they sound like names for dogs to me

Me too. I do prefer dogs to babies though 🤷‍♂️

derekthe1adyhamster · 01/01/2023 20:42

Marley

Findyourneutralspace · 01/01/2023 20:41

Sorry OP but they are my pet’s names. A cat and a dog.

ofwarren · 01/01/2023 20:40

Great names for pets

Galarunner · 01/01/2023 20:39

I know a Marley , a boy suits him, doesn't strike me as particularly out there or unusual.

bizzywiththefizzy · 01/01/2023 20:37

I knew a pub dog called Ozzy (black Alsatian) . Great game of fetch with beermats . 😁

BlueSuffragette · 01/01/2023 20:29

Sorry OP, don't like either. Maybe for a dog but not a child.
