HelpRe: Arlo for a girl?
in reply to a message by Evey
I wonder if everyone saying no is okay with Harlow on a girl. Hm.
It's a place name, so it isn't automatically masculine imo. Why not? A lot of -o sound names are rising for girls.

I am, although Harlow is a place where I live, so I find it difficult to imagine on any child. But I feel the same way with Marlow/Marlowe. Love it for a boy, cannot understand it for a girl. It (Marlowe) actually used to be given to more boys in England/Wales (Marlow still is) but last year it switched, not that it's at all popular either way. I don't mind some -o names for girls, including Hero, but some I can only imagine on a boy.

In theory I actually like Marlowe for a girl. But it's the only male name I like for girls and I wouldn't use it.

I also think Harlow is super masculine. I think of it as a boys name.
