Is Marcus really dull?

Now DH and I aren't exactly the most creative baby namers - DS was one of over 1600 boys with his name the year he was born and DD shares a name with over 2000 the year she was born (although hers is the slightly less used spelling/pn) - but we don't want to choose a name that could be seen as dull. Is Marcus though? I can't decide if it's lovely and underused or boring and dull. I've already posted a similar thread about Douglas so be as opinionated as you like!

I've never met a Marcus that I didn't like - as a name I prefer it to Douglas.

Good to see it's not seen as the epitome of boring!

I don't like Marcus but I like Mark. Can't explain it! (Same with Lucas and Luke - don't like Lucas, like Luke.)

No, Marcus is classic, lovely, and he will prob be only one in his class (IMO)

Not at all dull.It's lovely. A good strong name.

Yep

Douglas is better, although not to my tastes.
