I absolutely love the name Marlowe for a girl and just wondered what people’s thoughts were! My only concern is that people may spell it wrong, what do you think?

Also, are there any cute nicknames?

I really like it.

When I was younger I used to read books set in a boarding school about a family called Marlow, so I've got very fond association with the name.

Sienna Millers daughter is Marlowe. It’s lovely ☺️

If you like it, then don't let me put you off. The Marlow spelling is more common for boys, but it seems to be fairly unusual and unisex without being 'out there'.

Arlo is extremely popular currently, and it might get misheard as Arlo.

The only one I've known IRL is a boy

And I don't take to surname names on girls, and as this one is very masculine I don't think you can make it "cute"

Marley is associated with the male character in Dickens (it's the surname, but it's the name everyone knows the character by) and the dog in Marley and me is male (named for Bob Marley)

Marlow is a pretty town to visit. Marlowe was a playwright.
It's not great as a name.

Marl/Marley would be a diminutive. Marley's a popular name for a dog.
