Opinions on Marlow please

[polkadottytotty]

Hello

I really like the name Marlow for a boy. What do you think?

I'm worried that it sounds too much like Marlon which i don't like.

Also how would you spell it - Marlow, Marloe, Marlo etc?

And what could it be shortened to if anything?

Thankyou

Twice zombie! Unbelievable. People really need to get a life.

[MikeUniformMike]

Saw the thread and was going to recommend it. Lovely for a day out.

[JoVH]

Remind me in 8 years!

[MammieBear]

How about Arlo or Milo?

Just realised that this is a zombie thread- oops.

I created an account just to tell Tapwater to chill a bit. Jessie6564 did NOT tell people what opinions they could and couldn't express. Comments like yours are why many people consider MN to be a site plagued by helicopter parents and self righteous, judging harpies!

Sorry don't like it, just makes me think of the town in ?Buckinghamshire!

Also seems a bit interchangeable between boy and girl, personally I dislike names where you cannot work out the sex of the person.
But that's just my opinion!

Did you really drag up an old thread to tell posters from 5 years ago they are wrong?
Bloody 'ell.
I don't like the name at all, either.

My sons name is Marlow too, but we spell it Marlo thanks for sharing the nickname "Mars" very cute love it.

Just joining in here but we have just named our little boy Marlow and we love it.

[Falconwolf101]

I like it spelt as Marlow XD

[Annabannbobanna]

I have a friend called Marlo, she is Puerto Rican. I think it is very pretty.... for a girl.

ooof zombie thread.

[Quasilulu]

I knew a man with that surname. He was just like Alan Partridge so I honestly am not keen.

[Tapwater]

Jessie, did you actually search for your child's name and join Mn in order to tell people what opinions they could and couldn't express on a thread that is 5 years old??? Clue: when someone starts a thread on a names forum asking for opinions on a name, people are allowed to give them.

[carolinehi]

Totally agree with Jessie6564 and am shocked at how rude and opinionated some people are in their comments. It's a cool name. Name is far better than some of the awful names people call their kids.

[Jessie6564]

I know this thread is totally out of date but I joined mumsnet just to comment on it. We have a little boy named Marlow and we love the name. It's unusual but not "weird" IMHO. Also I think "Mars" is a fun nick name.

I like it. Cakeandroses, I LOVE the wire and we have joked about Omar, Avon, Brodie...
