Marley- girl?

[Livvielo]

Hypothetical really as we are still undecided on baby number 3.
But we still discuss names
What does everyone think of Marley for a girl?
Siblings are Hannah Rosalie and Louise Lily.

Thankyou x

I like it slept Mali.

Marlayna is nice too, and you could use laney as a nn as well as Marley.

@AllBellyandBoobs

It was the name of my beloved male, pain in the bum, cat. How about Marnie?

Oooooh I like Marnie!! Thankyou

Marlayna is lovely!! Thankyou

I like your DH's choices...

But how about Marcie?

@MamaNewtNewt

There's a girl in my DD's class (aged 7) called Marley and I don't think of it as a dog's name. That said I don't think it's anywhere near as pretty as the names of your first two DDs. What about Marlowe?

Haven’t heard of Marlowe. It’s nice thankyou.

Marcie is nice too. Loving the suggestions!!

Out of my DH’s name choices, I would go for Georgina, and then call her Georgie as a nickname

Sorry, drainpipes, guttering and tiles.

I went to school with a (girl) Marley, it suited her perfectly. But with your other daughters' names I'd maybe go with something a little more classic with Marley as a nickname - Marlene, Marlena, Mariel(le), Mariella, Marisol?

Same for Marnie, which I also like - nothing wrong with it as a stand-alone name, but it can also be short for something more classic, like Marina, if you want.

Marnie is lovely and fits well with your DDs.

Mali is Welsh and rhymes with ‘sally’ - not to be confused with the pronunciation of the country.

I know one (she’s about 5 or 6) and it really suits her so I don’t have the dog association any more BUT I do think that Hannah and Louisa are of a different genre and Marley doesn’t really go with them. Your husband has good taste ;)

I would definitely go with any of your husband's choices ....

What about Marissa or Marcy

Lovely name for a Labrador

Why wouldn't you go with Theodore as a name if DH loves it & you love Teddy?

Marley is odd sorry. Very very different to Hannah & Louisa.

Your DH has better taste.

You seem to have some sort of obsession with wanting to give your girls boys names/nicknames.

Why?

I love your daughters names, really lovely.

I don’t like Marley at all, sorry.

I only like that name for a girl- Teddie

I also would associate it with Marley’s ghost clanking his chains in A Christmas Carol - or Bob Marley, or both! Sorry OP, I really don’t think it’s a great choice.

Of the other ones on the thread, Marnie is nice; what about Margot, Marigold or Marianne? A friend has a baby girl called Marianne Iris which I think is lovely.

Why?

An obsession? How? I wanted to name my first daughter Rosalie… I loved Teddie for my second and did debate over Theodora for a little while. I do like Georgie as a shortened form of Georgina. But I wouldn’t go as far as that being an obsession with boys names when they can be and are, used for both. I’ve picked up some nice suggestions on this thread- I’ve said I liked Marcie and Marnie too

I actually like Marigold, but I can’t get past the rubber glove association

All your DH’s choices would go well with your other daughters - Georgina nn Georgie is lovely, and Florence goes well too. I also like Rosalie.

Haha yes Marigold is also a bit 1950s - as well as the rubber gloves my mum used to buy a bouillon powder called Marigold!

I know of a woman named Marlae. Pronounced Mar-lay.
