new baby, friend of a friend :)

Baby girl,

Marlow Ryley.

What do you think?

Not my style at all!!!!

Marlow is OK, but I really don't like the name Ryley/Riley.

eh... could have been worse... could have been better.

I really like Marlow. Ryley, not so much.

I like Marlow, but I really don't like Ryley. (Not even spelled like Riley, so especially not with the two Ys) My aunt's dog was the first time I ever heard of the name, so it will forever be a dog name to me (a boy dog name, at that :p)

Together they sound like they should be on a boy, not a girl.

Eh, I can't say I like the trend of giving ugly boy's names to girls.

Marlo Riley would be so much better.

I like Marlow a lot (on someone else's kid, though, not my personal style) probably because it reminds me of Marla, which is a fantastic name. But I hate Riley/Ryley/however you want to spell it - on a boy or girl. Yuck.

I dislike both.

i think if youre going to give your daughter a unisex or masculine name, you should give her a more feminine middle.

masculine first + unisex middle =/= girls name, sorry

i also think it works both ways. if youre going to give your son a unisex name like taylor/morgan/jordan or something, give him a decisively masculine middle name, not a name like riley. pfffffft.

Marlow is part of my house address, I definitely don't like it as a baby name. Riley would have been better but I'd say the name as a whole is more fitting for a boy.

I think I like Marlow, but I can't decide. Would make a good pet name or for a character.

Not keen on Ryley, let alone the spelling.
