HelpRe: Harlow vs. Monroe
in reply to a message by Starfish and Coffee
Harlow would be my choice between the two. For whatever reason, it sounds more nature and place based. I can imagine my young daughter Harlow catching frogs in a creek and having a rock collection that I would discover mounded in her closet.
Monroe sounds more urban. Maybe it is the combination of President Monroe and Marilyn Monroe, but it feels more like a carefully curated existance than one that developed naturally. It isn't a bad name (for a very surnamey first name with famous figure ties), but I do like it less than Harlow.
Marlowe / Marlow appeals to me more than either Harlow or Monroe, but I wouldn't use it either.
For a middle name, I would choose something traditionally feminine.
Harlow Eve
Harlow Minerva
Harlow Elizabeth - Yes, Elizabeth is used a lot as a middle name, but I think they sound nice together and the combo takes on a more literary feel then either name has on its own.
Harlow Yvonne
