Awwww....I totally understand why you might think of naming your new little girl Marley after the sweet love you lost. I don't think it would be inappropriate in any way. What's appropriate is what makes you feel comfortable. Personally I think I probably wouldn't do it. I might go with Marley as a second name though, and name your new lil girl something like Madalyn Marley. Your new little one will have her own personality and traits, and while she might remind you a lot of your precious Marley, she will make her own place in your life and your heart for who she is. Having her very own name will help you to allow her to do that. You will always remember your sweet Marley, but having little Maddie in your life is a step forward and a step towards healing your heart.
