I like it
It's a female name as far as I have ever known. I prefer Margo but Marlo is nice, especially as a nick.
The spelling Marlowe is masculine to me.

It's cute. Retro, and makes me think of Marlo Thomas. Sounds a little nickname-y, but I think it could work on its own, too.

I love it! I had a friend named Marlo! She was very sweet.

Love it as a nickname.
It reminds me of Marlo Thomas, who I thought was just it, as far as singers go, when I was very young. I love it as a nickname for Margaret or Margalo; I think it's really cute and retro sound, like Caro for Caroline. As a full name, I don't think it has quite enough backbone to stand alone.
I also like Marlon for a boy. :)

Are we the only ones here who've heard of Marlo Thomas?! LOL. Doesn't seem masculine to me. Marlowe, yes, but not Marlo.

Apparently, lol.
When I hear Marlowe, I think of the writer Christopher and "The Passionate Shepherd to his Love." It looks completely masculine to me.
But Marlo? C'mon--how in the world is That Girl masculine? :D (A pictoral reference to Marlo Thomas back in the day, for those who've never heard of That Girl: http://www.imdb.com/gallery/mptv/1335/Mptv/1335/3091_0046.jpg?path=gallery&path_key=0060034)
I'm really glad to know that I'm not the only one who makes outdated references here, lol. ;)

I personally dont like it but it is similar to Marlow which I have seen used a girl before.
I dont know if Marlo is a form of Marlow, but Marlow is a place name and a surname and its meaning "remnants of a lake" is unisex so though I dont like it I think it could work for both male and female.
