[Opinions] Marley.
I was at a family get together over christmas, and a friend of a family member came over too with her little girl who was called Marley, at first I thought she said Molly, which I thought was kinda cute but Marley?! on a girl!? on a human?! ew. What do you think?
Other kids at the party were:
Mayah (5)
Louis (4)
Riley (b) (few weeks)
Georgia May (3 mnths)
Darcey (g) (8 months)
Keira (12)
Oliver 'Oli' (4)

I actually love Marley. I actually do associate it with Bob Marley, but I'm pretty fond of his music and I personally don't have strong opinions against his lifestyle. I can kind of see where distaste can come from though, and Marley and Me could add to that for someone.
I think it works on either gender, but is generally less likely to be viewed as "trynn'Deighh" on a boy.
I actually like all the other names too, although I prefer the spelling Maia to Mayah and I wouldn't nickname Oliver at all.

What's so bad with Marley being used on a girl, or a human for that matter? I don't think it's terrible at all.
I'm not keen but then those kind of names are usally not my style!
I don't hate it. I can definitely see it being used on a girl. Why not? It fits in with the trend of Carly/Karly/
Kaylee/Jayla type names.

I worked with a woman who named her daughter Marley. I think it was a little bit influenced by Bob Marley, and that's what it made me think of more than anything.
To me, it has little appeal when spelled Marley - it seems surnamey and trendy and yes, doggy. But if it's Marlee, I can almost like it. Like Marlee Matlin, the actress.

As in the golden retriever?
If she was born before the movie "Marley and Me", I think I can forgive, even though it's not my style, but if she's older than the movie? Yikes.
I love Mayah, but spelled Maia. Georgie May is sweet, and I am fond of Oliver (although my husband detests it!) The others really aren't my style but at least they're spelled recognizably!

Ooops! :o)
I like it.
Just because there was a god-awful movie about a dog named Marley, that doesn't make it completely unusable for a human, IMHO. I also like it for a girl; I think it's cute.
