Re: Marley
in reply to a message by Adelle
I love the name. Mike and I named his male dog Marley (before we knew about the book Marley and Me). When we told people it was odd the different responses; most younger people thought of Bob Marley (and his kids) and most older people thought of Jacob Marley from A Christmas Carol (I guess because it was around Christmas time). We didn't really name him after either, but I guess it doesn't matter. (As an aside - we took him to the park one day and met a guy with a puppy named Huxley.I should have thought of that!)
So, I think it's more suitable to a dog than a human, and it's a little trendy to use on a kid (along the lines of Taylor and Addison but much better). It is a nice name none the less, with a pretty sound.
Anyway, I think you should use a more well-established name to even it out. Some suggestions using your name list:
Marley Helena
Marley Lenore
Marley Cordelia
Marley Genevieve
Marley Augusta
Marley Sophia
Marley Philip
Marley Felix
Marley Asher
Marley Hugo
Marley Stephen
