Ozzy or Marley?

[San1991]

Torn between two boys names Ozzy and Marley. Any preferences?

Ozzy is a nickname, both sound like dog names to me

Sorry but they sound like names for dogs to me

I know an Ozzy, he's 18 months old.
Not keen. Nor Marley.

Could you call him Oliver with the nickname Ozzy just so he has options? If so that would be my preference.

Neither. See also Presley, Hendrix, Patton, Cobain, Morrissey, Fish, Meatloaf and, Alice (for a boy)

The only experience I have with those names are both cockapoos.

Maybe as nicknames as a PP suggested?

Neither, sorry.

Marley sounds like a surname. However some people want to hijack surnames for first names eg Jackson, Bronson.

Ozzy is a nickname. Nothing wrong with that per se but he might get questioned along the lines of "so what's that short for?"

It's short for Oswald. It is also a diminutive of Osborne, which is a surname.

Marley is a girl's name, or a ghost, or a surname.

And Ozzy is just dreadful.

What breed?

Makes me think of a ghost or the singer. Both weird names.

FFS

Love Ozzie

I know an Ozzy, but he's actually called Oliver.

My mates dog is called Marley

Marley, I knew one and it suited him.
Ozzy i have only seen as a nickname for Oscar but I prefer Marley

A Victorian ghost and a dog. Each to their own I guess.

This is a wind-up, surely?

John, Micheal, Robert, Nesta were the actual first and middle names of the singers in question. All good names. And Nesta is unusual if that's what you're looking for.

Get this moved to the pet section - you've got it in baby names!

Sorry OP, don't like either. Maybe for a dog but not a child.

I knew a pub dog called Ozzy (black Alsatian) . Great game of fetch with beermats . 😁

I know a Marley , a boy suits him, doesn't strike me as particularly out there or unusual.

Great names for pets

Sorry OP but they are my pet’s names. A cat and a dog.

Marley
