All in the title!

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

I know a little girl called Marley so I thought of her.
Interestingly though I knew two 4?year old Harleys... one was a girl and the other was a boy. So I'd definitely say Marley was a totally unisex name.

Dog

One of DDs friends is Marli, they're 18 now. Has good connotations for me as she's a lovely girl.

Ghost and dog

I think it's quite cute as a girl's name. I like it!
Maybe a bit too cutesy for a boy?

Boy, but probably canine not human

Male, more likely canine than human.

Boy. Prefer Marlon though.

Girl... but prefer Mali.

Jacob Marley. Bob Marley. Dog in film. Boy's name.

Marnie for a girl, Marley for a boy.

There was a girl a few years below me in school who was called Marley. Really suited her too

PrudenceDictates · 10/04/2021 09:49

Bob, Jacob the ghost, Ziggy, then dog. Principally a surname though.
Forename for a child? Not so much.
