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

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

I like it spelt as Marlow XD

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

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.

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!

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!

Lol. I can see it now....

Just realised that this is a zombie thread- oops.

MammieBear · 21/11/2017 16:30

How about Arlo or Milo?
