Help[Opinions] Re: Marlowe
in reply to a message by Lily
Oh, Marlowe is the best!
I love it because of Christopher Marlowe. Marlow is just another surname, but Marlowe has historical context and meaning and the E adds so much elegance.
Eck, Meadow no. Yuck. Marlow. But honestly, I think the vast majority of people aren't going to know that Sienna Miller spells it a certain way. If they do associate Marlowe with her, which they might not (she's not THAT famous), they'll associate Marlow as well. Like people will assume Brangelina Shiloh, even if it's spelled Shilo.

Me too! I'd usually prefer Marlowe by far, especially because of Christopher Marlowe. But I fear that many people will now associate it with Sienna Miller instead of Christopher Marlowe which is why I'm thinking about using Marlow instead. On the other hand I just found out that another celeb named his daughter Marlowe and there's a celeb baby named Marlo around as well so it might not get too tied to Sienna Miller. But you're probably right about the spelling, so I might stick with Marlowe after all. The thing is they gave her the middle name Ottoline which is also one of my favorites and honors my grandfather who was Otto. Ahhhhhhh. I will definitely not use the combo now, though.
By the way, from what I know people are not sure how Christopher Marlowe's surname was spelled. Some sources say it was spelled Marlo or Marlow some even suggest Marle.
