Help baby name dilema

[Robyn789]

What’s everyone thoughts on Marlow or Monty for our boy born 4 days ago? We’ve had awful trouble deciding on a name and it’s taken us this long to find a common ground on two.
His older sister is called mabelle. It wasn’t intentional to have them both with an M name it seems M names are what we like 🙈

I really like them both so that's no help was just excited someone else was awake

Mabelle & Marlow
Mabelle & Monty

I prefer Marlow out of the two.

I think of Marlow as a girls' name, usually spelled Marlowe.

Monty is better, I suppose.

Monty out of the two….
Not that you asked for suggestions but
Matthew
Marcus
Maxwell

I prefer Monty. I also see Marlow as a girls name.

Monty

I would say Monty too! The only Marlowe I’ve met was a little girl although I know it can be a boy name too.

I don't like Monty so prefer Marlow.

Martin (Marty)
Arlo
Barnaby
Lomax
Roman
Walter (Walt)
Toby

I prefer Marlow but tbh it reminds me of marshmallow. Or Marlon (Brando)

Of the two, Monty.
Marlow is very nice - as a town, but as a name seems a bit 'we likrd Arlo, but wanted matchy-matchy names so we chose Marlow'

Monty is the best of the 2.
I would have Montgomery or Montague on the birth certificate though.

Monty. I know a little boy called Monty and he’s lovely and his name suits him really well.

Monty

Monty is the best name for a boy/man. Marlow is a town.

Marlowe is the playwright/poet and I've only ever known it on a boy (and I really don't take to surname names in girls)

Monty seems a bit too much of a nickname to stand alone, but I like the long forms

Monty is good if you are posh and it’s short for a Montague.

Otherwise Milo

Montgomery, Monty for short. Very distinguished.

Posh? Cringe.

My dog is called Monty

There was a Monty in the Births announcements in Saturday's Daily Telegraph. Not short for anything

Monty is brilliant!

Marlow-on-Thames?

I like Marlow, but Monty is a dogs name

Could you do Montgomery nn Monty? That's rather lovely.

Not so keen on Marlow, and I think it's often a girls name??

@Hello606

I like Marlow, but Monty is a dogs name

Dog comments show up on this forum quite often and I find them quite bemusing. I know dogs called Robert, Miriam, Ruby, Millie, and Digby. Unless someone is thinking of calling their child Spot or Bones then your personal associations with canines are irrelevant to the OP.
