Baby Names

What do you think of

Marley? Marlee? Marlie?

Boy or girl?

I think of 1) the movie/book 2) Bob Marley (who the dog is actually named after in that movie/book 3) super trendy fad of giving people last names as first name when they were not first names in the first place.

  • It's okay, but nms. Marley is definitely my favorite spelling of it, I don't like the other ones at all. It is all girl to me.
  • I think that's what my brother's wife is dead set on naming their girl..definitely nms but I hope it grows on me cuz I feel kind of sorry for her (the kid that can't choose her own name).

    Maybe it will come out a boy :)

  • NMS.  I think of Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol.

  • Eh, it's ok.  Like the other poster said, it could be a name that could grow on you, depending on the child.  I am a teacher and had a girl named Arleigh in my class a few years ago.  I thought the name was awful, until I realized that the little girl really made the name work! 
  • I think of the dog

  • I think of Bob Marley, but I like it spelled Marlie for a girl.
  • There is also the actress Marlee Matlin.  It's nms but it's not much different than Marla or Carley.

  • Marley only and girl.

  • I have a friend named Marley and she's the sweetest person I've ever met. For that reason, I like the name and associate it with a girl.

  • NMS. I think of it as a surname but something about it seems feminine to me so if I had to choose, I'd use it for a girl over a boy.

  • my old bosses daughter was named marley. i think its cute, but in her case she was named after bob marley ( we lived in a ski bum town and she was a young single mom that wasnt a stranger to parties) i like it better for a girl than a boy. i just had a son named sage, but we were also thinking about zion or bodhi, . we wanted something earthy and spiritual but not over the top.
  • I knew a girl in college with this name but now I know 4 dogs with it...nms
