Marley is awful. Nothing pretty about it. I would pick Maria. I like pp suggestion of Delia. What about Melia? I'm not sure if it's a legit spelling, but I went to school with a girl by that name.
I love Marley, it's what I named my parrot. Great pet name! I do think it's funny people think it's a masculine name, I believe it means "Seaside meadow" or something like that which is extremely feminine to me. TETO
I personally can't stand Maria. It feels dated to me, not classic. It was the name of a lot of the older moms of student's I worked with. I've never met a child with that name or anyone under the age of 40.
So of the three Delilah is my favorite with Marley being second. Maria if she comes out a 40 year old Croatian woman.

I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.
Maria and Delilah are both great. Maria feels so fresh for a little girl and I would lean towards that one. I would also have her consider Delia (Deal-yuh), which is sort of spitting the difference and getting a less trendy name than Delilah.
Agree with others, I have no idea how Marley made the cut next to these other names but it has to be nixed. All associations are weird - Rastafarian singer Bob Marley and the dog movie Marley and Me. I know a little girl named Marley and the name started popping up after the dog movie which I find really odd. As others said - it is a masculine surname and not at all suitable for a little girl no matter if it ends in "ley"
I actually think Marley is cute. But it's hard to imagine a successful adult woman named Marley. Really don't like Delilah, but Delia, Lilah, or Lily are good options. Maria is boring to me.
I don't get why everyone is saying Marley is terrible lol I think that's a beautiful name. One of my friends has a daughter named Marlena and everyone just calls her Marley. So that's my vote The other 2 are too older sounding for me...
I like all of them. Maria is more older sounding and I prefer it as a middle name. Delilah is nice and not overly common. I really like Marley, I have a little cousin named Marley, she's about 5 years old now and super cute!!
Re: Marley, Maria or Delilah
What about Marian or Diana?
TTC since September 2012
2. Delilah
3. Marley
Marley is all dog, and Delilah has the bad Biblical connotation. Maybe Lilah instead?
