they have such different vibes for me, so it depends on the context! to me, [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is vintage and familiar - maybe a little dated. [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], on the other hand, is more modern and unisex. i really like both names, but in different ways! i voted for [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u], simply because i like the sound slightly more, but i do prefer the nicknames for [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]

Ooh, this is difficult because [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] both have different feels! [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is a classic, solid name with lots of history. It’s nickname rich, too! However, people may think of it as an old lady name, since it hasn’t been in wide use for recent years. [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] has a more modern feel, and the meaning is very pretty. One problem you may get with [name_u]Marlowe[/name_u] is folks mispelling it as [name_u]Marlow[/name_u] or [name_u]Marlo[/name_u], which is something to look out for!

Overall, I chose [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] but you really can’t go wrong!
