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).

Dog then Bob

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)
