My husband are expecting, but we often enjoy talking about baby names. One of his favorites is [name_u]Marley[/name_u] for a girl. I like, but not sure if I love. Anyway, I’m super OCD and like to have a middle name in mind for the first names that we like, but I can’t think of anything we like that fits with [name_u]Marley[/name_u]!
Suggestions? 
I like [name_u]Marley[/name_u] as a nn for [name_f]Amalia[/name_f] 
I think a three or one syllable name would work best with [name_u]Marley[/name_u]:
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Faye[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Thea[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Fleur[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Brynn[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Kate[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Petra[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Willa[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Zosia[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Gretchen[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Isaura[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Camilla[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rebekah[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Victoria[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Esme[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Eden[/name_u]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Serena[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Natalia[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Veronica[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Cecilia[/name_f]
I think [name_u]Marley[/name_u] needs something more serious to ground her, so I suggest [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f].
Have you thought of [name_f]Marlena[/name_f] nn [name_u]Marley[/name_u]? Gives her more options later on and probably easier to pair your fave middles with.
All great suggestions! Thank you I thought about [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. But I’m not a big fan of the “ah” sound at the end. I’ve always gravitated towards [name_f]Sophie[/name_f], more so than [name_f]Sophia[/name_f]. But not sure if [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] sounds okay. I also thought about [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]. I actually really like it. Though I do feel like [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is one of those names kids could “hate” or think is ugly when they are younger lol. My mom once told me she almost named me [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] and I always thought it was ugly and felt grateful she didn’t name me that. I don’t feel that way now, but I did as a kid. I don’t know. Maybe I’m overthinking it! lol
[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Olive[/name_f]! I actually love [name_f]Olive[/name_f] so much, I’m hoping to use it as a first name. Maybe I could talk to husband into [name_f]Olive[/name_f] [name_u]Marley[/name_u] if we ever have a girl 
lol. [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Juniper[/name_u] is adorable, too. Thanks for these wonderful suggestions
I actually agree with you. [name_u]Marley[/name_u] is sort of a laid back name, so I thought a stronger more traditional middle name may fit best, as well. Unfortunately, we do not like [name_f]Marlena[/name_f]. It’s a beautiful name, but just not our style. As far as stronger more traditional middle names go, I thought these might be some good options…
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
If you’re looking for something classic, I’d plump for [name_f]Jane[/name_f] or [name_f]Beth[/name_f]. If something more trendy perhaps [name_f]Jade[/name_f] or [name_f]Belle[/name_f]. Other classic options include [name_f]Kate[/name_f], [name_f]Ellen[/name_f], [name_f]Ruth[/name_f] & [name_f]Claire[/name_f]. More trendy options include [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f], [name_u]Rain[/name_u] & [name_f]Snow[/name_f]. Although something about [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] with [name_u]Marley[/name_u] is just screaming out to me! [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] just sounds irresistible, it’s seems like the kind of name everyone will compliment you one once they’ve heard it.
Best of luck!
P.S. I don’t like [name_f]Clementine[/name_f], I love [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] but it doesn’t sound right with [name_u]Marley[/name_u] and although I adore [name_f]Rose[/name_f]- it’s needs to be in the prime position at this point because it is in a state of chronic overuse in the middle spot. It’s just too predictable!
Originally I have [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] as my favorite combo. I still think it sounds great together. But I then thought about [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] and how that reminded me of marijuana and how [name_u]Marley[/name_u] will likely be associated with [name_m]Bob[/name_m] [name_u]Marley[/name_u], which can be associated with marijuana lol. So I just couldn’t get that out of my head. However, my mom’s middle name is [name_u]Jean[/name_u], so [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Jean[/name_u] might be an option.
I adore [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f], too. [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] reminds me of [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] the Spy, but I kind of like that lol.
I have [name_f]Rose[/name_f] marked as a middle name for many of the girl names that I like. I agree, it is overused. But my grandma’s maiden name is [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and the name means a lot to her and my family. So it’s more of a personal connection to that name. I thought it sounded like a nice pairing with [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. My favorite though is [name_f]Hattie[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is adorable but [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is such a filler name, although I admit it sounds gorgeous with pretty much every name out there.
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Jade[/name_f] is one I like
I agree! I probably wouldn’t care for [name_f]Rose[/name_f] so much if it wasn’t a family name. I like [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] over [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. But [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] in the middle can sound off.
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rosette[/name_f]

Sorry to threadjack but just seen the combo ‘[name_u]Dakota[/name_u] [name_f]Snow[/name_f]’ on Carysmarie’s signature. Such a beautiful name! It’s going in the list lol
[name_m]Bob[/name_m]?
To me it is a reggae name and a dog name, both male.

Heard a little girl being called [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Grace[/name_f] recently and it was really cute, even after being repeated a lot lol.
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_u]Haven[/name_u]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Abigail[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_m]Haiden[/name_m]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Elaina[/name_f]
Marley Rozlyn/Roslyn
In your signature you also have [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Olive[/name_f], [name_f]Hattie[/name_f], [name_u]Rory[/name_u], [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] so I thought I’d make suggestions based on those.
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] wouldn’t work but you could have [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Lucille[/name_f].
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Olive[/name_f] sounds okay but not very serious or grown up. I agree with a pp that [name_u]Marley[/name_u] should have something more serious in second.
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] Loreali or [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] (pp already suggested and I think it sounds great) or [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Francine[/name_f]
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rosanne[/name_f]. [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] is really sweet and a good way to use [name_f]Rose[/name_f] without it being predictable. It also sounds like [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] is lovely. Sounds like the name of a happy upbeat child. For me middle names are more private. Most children at school with her won’t know her second name to have an opinion on it. Middles names are for friends, family and future employers. But I don’t think [name_f]Harriet[/name_f] would be cause for teasing anyway.
p.s. I really like [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Clementine[/name_f]. [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] doesn’t sound as good but you could have [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Elena[/name_f] (I know you aren’t a big fan of the a sound but I think it sounds lovely with [name_u]Marley[/name_u]) or [name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]Elodie[/name_f].
I haven’t read all the responses, so this might be already suggested, but I knew a little
[name_u]Marley[/name_u] [name_f]May[/name_f] (or alternate spelling [name_f]Mae[/name_f])
and she was adorable!
I adore the name [name_f]Olive[/name_f]…So pretty!!!
