Marley would be a strange name for a girl. That’s what i think.

There’s a football player named tyrod. I always thought that was a part for an automobile. Spelled different. Pronounced the same.

Guess it’s been awhile since Tess glanced @ “Modern Maternity”!

She could always be named Roberta Marley.

I like that name!

1,2,3,4,5……..7,6,5,1.

I really wish more people would remember that the cute little baby that they want to saddle with a weird name will someday become an adult who will have to maneuver through life with that name.

Don’t roll dem bloodshot eyes at me. I can tell that you been out on a spree. I’ts plain that your lying, when you say that you been cryin. Don’t roll dem bloodshot eyes at me!

No, but his mom IS.

“Marley was dead.” Or so Charles Dickens assured us.

I had a friend who named her daughter (born before I knew her) after Siobhan from Ryan’s Hope. Problem? She spelled it Shavon. She’d never looked at the credits, I guess

I had a co-worker named “Lavoris”… Umm.. Naming your kid after a mouthwash really?

Marley’s pretty low on the endless teasing scale.

Better to have a unique name than the sea of Roberts and Johns or Mary an Leas out there.

ktfahel. If you knew my real name you would know I understand that better than most.
