what do you think of Marley ?

[milosmummy16]

Hi, what's your opinion on Marley for a boy ? I think it's quite a sweet name (i had a hamster years ago called Marley 😃) but I just can't imagine a grown man being called this. I have other names on my list but just wondered what others thought as not seen this name mentioned on here!

I think of Marley and me straight away but I like the name 😊

Because I only know of a girl with that name (and the dog in the film), I can't imagine it for a boy.

It's a lovely name! I know a grown man with that name though and he is lovely and kind so that may be why I think that.

Sorry but I think of Marley & me, it's a dog's name to me

It totally makes me think of the dog from the film. Sorry.

It makes me think you must be a reggae fan

In RL, I've only met an equine Marley.

It's also surname in Dickens' Christmas Carol, and I whenever I hear surname-names I'd expect a boy

Dog name. Sorry!

I think of bob Marley so assume mixed race child

Also Marley is on Teen Mom UK - Marley for a boy, Manley is a dad, Marlia is a girl version of the name. So it may be popular with that demographic that's the only place I've heard it

Another one saying Marley & Me.

🐕

TV series: Marley's Ghosts.... only, Marley is a woman....

I'd assume he was named after Bob Marley.

Like the brother I knows called Dylan and Lennon.

I do agree when I first heard it I thought of the film Marley and me but not anymore, as it keeps growing on me. Hmmm still not sure x

I think the Dickens will stand the test of time rather better than a current (nit terribly well known) TV series.

Ditto the labrador (sorry)

Definitely a dogs name.

Totally a dogs name, sorry.

Know a 17 year old boy called Marley, it always sounds odd when his mum is talking about him but fine when he's there...

Dog

I know a Marley. He's not mixed race or a dog. The name suits him.

Nice name for a Labrador.

A great name for a cat or dog.

Have to agree with most, it's a dog's name.

Dog or ghost. Not a boy.

Ridiculous.

Dog.
