Marlowe (for a girl)... thoughts?

[Tucancrossing]

And would love suggestions of Welsh middle names to go with it!

It's lovely! What about carys or Nareece?

I'm not aware of it as a name, it just reminds me of the town or surname, so I'm not keen. Even thinking of it as a name, I think of it more as a boy's name.

I don’t like it. It sounds more like a boy.

My friend just had a little girl and called her Marlowe I hadn't heard it before but I really like it

Makes me think of Philip Marlowe

It sounds like a surname. I’m not too sure about it as a first name.

I love it!! What about Haf as a middle name? It's welsh for summer

Reminds me of the instagrammer Courtney Adamo and her youngest daughter. I like it actually, I think it's very unusual but it's quirky and elegant

I don't like it. A girl in DDs toddler class is called Harlow and I cringe slightly (inwardly) every time it's said aloud. I can't explain what it is I don't like about it really.

Even Marla or Marley or something would be nicer?

I'm not keen on surnames being used as first names.

I like surnames as first names usually, but I think there is something masculine about a surname as a first name. If you think about boys names they are almost all used as surnames (James, Thomas, William(s), Edward, Scott etc are all surnames as well).

As long as you don’t live near there it might be ok, personally I dislike it.

You’re spoilt for choice on welsh names, my favourite is Seren

It’s not elegant or quirky, even with the additional E

It is lovely - and I am a right bitch about names.

A surname.

I think for women its more commonly spelt Marlo, based on a sample size of one, the actress Marlo Thomas.

Love it!

I prefer it with the "we".

It's not to my taste, but if you want to use it drop the e at the end as it's just a bit pointless. Do you like Marnie instead?

I like it :)

I think people might think she’s called Milo.

I like it
Marlowe Seren?
Marlowe Lili?

I don't like it at all. It doesn't sound like a girls name to me especially with that spelling.

I absolutely love Marlowe I think it’s a gorgeous name really spunky and sweet for either gender

no.
might as well have dickens or shakespeare.
