Marlo or Marley for boy

Boy Names
1

Older brother [name_m]Kasper[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

Not finding out the gender this time, and I find boy names so hard. Finally narrowed it down to these two, which were also on my list for my first named [name_m]Kasper[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

I know both names are technically considered gender neutral… what comes to your mind when you think of either name?

[name_f][/name_f]

I wasn’t sure of spelling for [name_f]Marlo[/name_f], I did have [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] down too- however I think perhaps [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] is more masculine?

[name_f][/name_f]

Thank you!

I think [name_m]Kasper[/name_m] and [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] (this spelling) are great for brothers. I know a few [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] boys so for me [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] seems more feminine :woman_shrugging:

I think [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] suits [name_m]Kasper[/name_m] better. [name_f]Marley[/name_f] has a more surfer/ boho vibe.

[name_f][/name_f]

I would use [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] but I can see how [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] cna work if [name_m]Carlo[/name_m] etc does. Either way, I would choose it over [name_f]Marley[/name_f].

I love [name_m]Kasper[/name_m] and [name_f]Marley[/name_f]! :heart:

ooh, tough! I think I prefer [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- breezy, literary and cool! I slightly prefer [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] as a spelling for you!

[name_f]Marley[/name_f]

[name_f]Marlo[/name_f] is my favorite, though I do prefer the [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] spelling for a boy.

Also prefer [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] (with this spelling) over [name_f]Marley[/name_f]. You could always use [name_f]Marley[/name_f] as a NN so that you don’t have to pick between them :blush:

Thank you! You don’t think [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] is too feminine? It’s so hard deciding on a spelling! Everyone says different :joy:

Thanks! What’s your reasoning for the spelling [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] over [name_f]Marlo[/name_f]? :slight_smile:

Congratulations!

[name_f][/name_f]

Both names are lovely however I do prefer [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] (this spelling) I think this spelling feels completely unisex and has the association of [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_f]Marlowe[/name_f] which creates a masculine flair. Whereas for me [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] feels more feminine and makes me think of [name_f]Margo[/name_f], [name_f]Cleo[/name_f] etc. So yes to summarise [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] (or [name_f]Marlowe[/name_f] do prefer the more streamlined Marlow) with nickname [name_f]Marley[/name_f].

Wishing you all the best :two_hearts:

@zoeyfleur[name_f][/name_f] I like both, but somehow [name_m]Marlow[/name_m] is feeling more balanced and solid for me today

13

Of the two I prefer [name_f]Marley[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

J@sper and [name_f]Marley[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

However, may I suggest a similar name I like even better……

[name_f][/name_f]

K@sper and [name_m]Morley[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

I know someone with this name. [name_f][/name_f] I think it is very distinguished sounding, yet friendly and a little different. [name_f][/name_f] Good for a little boy as well as a mature gentleman.
[name_f][/name_f][name_f]Hope[/name_f] you are willing to consider it.

I like [name_m]Kasper[/name_m] and [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] together!

Bugger, just discovered partner only likes spelling of [name_f]Marlo[/name_f]- so has to be that way if we go for that one!

I do like [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] :slight_smile:[name_f][/name_f] and would be just as happy to meet a [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] as I would a [name_m]Marlow[/name_m]. In fact, I go between the two of which is my favourite and today it is [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] again :person_facepalming:

I really love [name_f]Marlo[/name_f] for either gender with [name_m]Kasper[/name_m] but especially for a boy. To me it reads masculine and reminds me of [name_m]Marlon[/name_m] [name_m]Brando[/name_m]
