Thoughts on the boy name 'Mars' or 'Marz'?

[maya7161]

Hi all,

What do you think of the name Mars/Marz? I know it isn't very common so I'm not sure what others think of it. How do you think it should be spelt?

Thanks

[dementedpixie]

Not a fan. It's a chocolate bar

[Zoe1983]

Just no.

[Aridane]

No, just no. Especially Marz

[DaisyBlameless]

Should be spelled as Mark or Lars.

[janniedodger]

Its a no from me.

[Haffdonga]

Marz???

Oh dear me no.

[shaggedthruahedgebackwards]

It's a planet/chocolate bar in my mind

What about Mario, Mark, Marco?

[EmpressOfTheSpartacusOceans]

English people will read it as the name of a chocolate bar or a god of war. Are you from a different culture, OP?

[Belle1102]

Definitely not. If you absolutely have to go with it then mars is marginally better than Marz

[CoolCarrie]

You would be setting your child up for a bloody awful time at school
What about Marcus?

[PacificDogwod]

März is the German word for the month of March.

'Martial' is derived from Mars, the god of war according to mythology.

Personally, I don't like the sound of what it sounds like, and I don't like the connotations, so another no from me.

Lars is nice though

[Haffdonga]

Mars is god of war.

War fan, OP?

[portico]

Clearly the baby is an accessory to you, hence publicing the oddball name to all. Same school class as Blue Ivy, Kai, Princess et al.

[PacificDogwod]

I just looked it up - god of war as a power to peace, rather than Ares (destruction).

Still don't like it though.

[SisterMoonshine]

It's a lot to live up to, like Zeus or something.
(Oh crikey, don't go putting Zeus on your list now too).

[snowgirl1]

It's a no from me. How about Miles?

[PacificDogwod]

Portico, Kai is rather a commonplace name in German speaking/scandinavian countries. I know a Kai who must now be in his late 50s/early 60s.
I wanted a Kai but was vetoed by DH

[Reow]

Oh god. It's awful.

[PacificDogwod]

Oh, a baby Zeus!! Genius!!

[portico]

Personally, I would scan the DVLA personalised plates, and build a name around that.

[GrumpyOldBag]

A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play.

Just, no.

[RayofFuckingSunshine]

Mars/Marz? Just why?

[Cheesecake53]

I really like it - both spellings.
