Sorry but they sound like names for dogs to me

Me too. I do prefer dogs to babies though 🤷‍♂️

Dogs names to me too!

Both are dogs names

Are you giving birth to a dog?

Neither, they sound too much like pet names to me.

Jacob Marley was a Dickens character

Can you use Jacob?

Both are dog’s names - unless you are naming a puppy and we’ve all just assumed you’re talking about a human baby?

Should this be in the dog house? Are you getting a puppy?

I know 2 Ozzy’s and 1 Marley, all cock- a-poos. Get a grip !

Ozzy could be a nickname for Oscar as well as Oliver or Oswald suggested by previous posters. All perfectly good names. There was also a famous designer and cartoonist called Osbert (Lancaster), and a famous Norman conqueror called Osmund (he organised the compiling of the Domesday Book).
I'm afraid Marley just makes me think of Dickens and Reggae - not bad, obviously, but rather overpowering associations - and vinyl floor tiles.

Ozzy could shorten to Oz - The Wizard 🧙‍♀️ of Oz!!

EddietheEagle · 02/01/2023 16:01

For which breed of dog?
