Marlowe - boy or girl or either?

I really like Marlowe for a boy (like the playwright) but I’m seeing it used more and more for girls? Is it considered a ‘girls’ name?

@Sakari some common sense at last! I agree with everything you say. Also I have a very dated name, I don’t particularly care. It’s the name of someone my age and we all get older.

I think I’m going off it simply because the final -e is a must for me but I do think it makes it seem more feminine than I would like. Back to square one lol

I would think boy, and I like it. My boys' names (I had a girl) were Byron and Conrad.

@HuntingoftheSnark I love Conrad!

I love Conrad too. It was on my list.

Ditto @AdaColeman. I’d take the E off for a boy.
