Marlow or Harlow?

Which do you prefer for a girl?
TIA!

Marlowe is a male character in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," so it will always be 100% male to me.

I really like Harlow.

Marlow is a terrible name for a girl!

I don't like either of them, sorry.

Marlow is very masculine sounding and Harlow is a lake around where I live so it seems masculine as well.

I'd go with Marlow/Marlo, like Marlo Thomas.

I'd say you might want to avoid "Harlow the Harlot," but, frankly, I'd be glad to see kids these days using old timey words like "harlot."

Wasn't Marlow the name of the bird in Stuart Little?

ETA: NM, it was Margalo.

I like Marlow better but what do I know?

How about Margot? Similar sound and a lovely name for a girl IMHO.

Of the two, I prefer Harlow. If you do go with Marlow, I think the Marlo spelling is more feminine.

Harlow most definitely. Marlow makes me think of wine (Merlo).
