All in the title!

When you hear the name Marley, do you think boy or girl? (Or dog? Grin)

Dog, or boy with a dogs name.

I think of it as a surname (Jacob or Bob). I'm old enough to still think of the fashion for using surnames as first names as being a very American thing to do although I realise that it's becoming more common in the UK.

Boy. I know one or two, with Jamaican heritage. Nice enough name I think apart from recollections of the dog movie.

Male dog, golden (think we still have a picture book and cd “bad dog Marley” it’s all coming back to me).

Ghost. Old, miserable, trailing long chains and warning misers not to be as much of a dickhead as he was in life.

Or the child of middleclass hippies who have a large house in West London, Dad is permanently stoned, Mum wears purple elephant trousers and attends 5am yoga classes before coming back for a raw vegan smoothie of spinach, spirulina and virtuosity - then they invite their friends around for a Saturday night of coke and ricecakes whilst they discuss how terrible compulsory vaccination and formal education are for children.

My prejudices are at the very least, very detailed.

@NeverDropYourMoonCup hilarious! And scarily accurate in my brother and wife's case even down to the yoga and elephants ( except they're not wealthy Londoners)
