Good grief. Your reply to Jazz was far more rude than her well-stated opinion. Get a grip.
Marlow is lovely, I like Harlow better, but if you need an "M" name Marlow is quite nice. The Marleaux spelling isn't a fave. I also like Mila, Molly, and Miriam.
HTH.

Your posts have been nothing but gracious, Jazz. Thank you for keeping your cool in the midst of such unnecessary hostility.

You need to know that I've participated in dozens and dozens of conversations in these forums, and I've never seen anyone post so brashly, rudely and unkindly before. Pregnancy hormones aside (the vast majority of us here have those, and yet conversations usually remain civil), we don't tend to yell and fly off the handle in such a manner.

Marlow/Marleaux is lovely (oh, wait, is that how it's spelled? Or was it Marloux? Or Marlaux? or Marleau?), it really is. My opinion -- and of course it's just my opinion, you don't have to go with it -- is that the Marlow spelling would be much easier over the long haul for both you and your daughter. And yet, if going with the French spelling is quite important to you, then Marlaux has that going for it and will also be lovely for your daughter.

I took French in high school and married a guy who minored in French, and not EVERY word with those endings is French. Adding a faux-French ending to something doesn't make it French, it makes it wanna-be French...and I must say, the French are not fond of wanna-bes.
(As I am not fond of people who type in all caps...)
I minored in French at college.
