Thoughts on Marlowe/Marlow for a girl?

Pregnant with my fourth, and are not finding out the gender until birth. Currently, we have Adelie, Clementine, and Elliott.

We have our boy name picked out, but are tied between Marlow/e and another Florence for girl.

It was highly debated when I posted about it earlier, and not sure it goes with my other kids, but something in me can't let it go!

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Marlowe is awful, Florence is lovely and goes much better with your other names.

I don't like Marlow sorry

The only Marlowe I know is a dog.. and even then I think it’s a bizarre name! More of a place/surname.

Florence is so much nicer - love the nickname Flo

I had a work colleague who had a son Marlo. The only one I know of

I know a male Marlow. Gets called Milo a lot because people mishear.

It's not great OP. She'll get the e added or left out, people will not know if she's a girl or a boy. It sounds a bit tacky.

Marlow to me personally...is a rugby club! But I don't hate it?

Marlow is a nice place for a wander about & walk along the river.

for a baby...it's not for me.

florence was my Mum's mum's name (she died before I was born, so Nana doesn't seem right). It goes back through the generations. So does Adeline.

Marlow/e is dreadful. Florence is 100x nicer.
