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.

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.
