Wow, another surname that I find more feminine than masculine and would rather see on a girl than a boy, if I have to see it at all. I used to say that surnames are inherently masculine, but now after recently realizing that Riley is not, and now that you've brought Marley to my attention, I have to change my mind about that.

I don't like Marley for a boy. I think a boy should have a strong masculine name. What is strong and what is masculine is, of course, a matter of opinion. My opinion is that Marley is neither, so I would not like it on a boy.
