Marlie - more puppy than baby?

[lchats]

I really like the name Marlie or Marlee - however, first reaction from any one I say this to is - isn't that dog's name?

It is a bit, isn't it?

It doesn't sound that canine to me, but how about Marlene with Marlie as a NN?

How about Marnie?

Hitchcock sounds like a better source of inspiration!

It is a bit. There's that film Marley & Me, in which Marley is the family dog. I do also know a dog called Marlie.

Maybe Marnie as Beebread suggests or Malia - like Barack Obama's daughter?

Yes, I'd expect the holder to have four legs.

But it might be a nn for Marlowe if you're having a boy or Marlene if a girl.

Dps work colleague had a baby last weekend and he has called him Marley.

I know one. Lovely baby. Not so keen on the name.

What about Maimie?

I think Bob Marley and Jacob Marley.

I am not keen on it as a first name. But it's not horrid.

I dont like the spellings you have chosen.

I prefer Marley and I am a bit that one crappy rom com about a dog has now made the name a 'dog name' .

I have a Marley. Its my DS4's second name and we often combine his first and second (I habit of longing names rather than shortening then )

I had no idea there was a film I always think Bob or ghost! Both fab imo. MN is always so strange when it comes to names compared to RL My ds name regularly gets a slating on here when most rl friends and family like it!

I like it. I like Marlowe better.

Marnie is nice.

I know a girl named marley aged 11 and my next door neighbours dog is called marley too

It is a teeny bit furry to me if I'm honest.

Marlee? Awful. Just awful.

Makes me think of the actress Marlee Matlin. She was really good.

My little girl is Marlie Isla,Marlie means; girl from the meadow,not dog from the kennel!!! I know a crazy lady who has dogs called Alice,Emily and George,does this now mean these names are dog names???
