Have shortened our list to these two.

DC2 will be here in less than four weeks, dh and I have strong, differing opinions on baby names, and these two are really it. If you hate both, of course it’s fine to say so if you like, but I will have to ignore you Grin!

Many tia for opinions.

Vincent. Reminds me of the 'starry starry night' Don McLean song.

I prefer Vincent.

I like then both, but prefer Vincent.

Markus is a nice spelling. Where does that come from? I think we’ll stick with Marcus tbh, as dd has a really classic name, which can’t be misspelled. Would like the same for dc2.

Marcos makes me think of Imelda Blush. I’m sure I’d get used to it if I met one though.

I prefer marcos.

I prefer Vincent but Marcus isn't awful by any stretch.

pepperminttaste · 29/12/2017 10:19

Vincent! I know quite a few Marcus' though...

Willow2017 · 29/12/2017 10:17

Definately Marcus (but i am biased😀)

GemmaB78 · 29/12/2017 10:17

Marcus, though I like it spelt Markus! I wanted to use it but my husband hates it!

Thanks all.

I’m leaning towards Marcus atm, but that could easily change.

This is probably the first time on a baby name thread where I actually like both options! Not helpful I know. I’d be inclined to use both.

ChocolateCrunch · 29/12/2017 09:39

Marcus (or Mark), really don't like Vincent, sorry.

@hijklm

I feel the same way about Lucas as your dh does about Marcus! So I sympathise.

Blush I really should apologise to rags the world over!

Marcus or just Mark. Vincent is awful.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 29/12/2017 09:13

Oh sorry for the derail, but regarding your user name... Have some respect for rags. AngryGrin

Hijklm · 29/12/2017 09:11

Very different names.
Marcus I see as posh public schoolboy
Vincent is kind of cool.
I quite like both but they give off different vibes to me.
My DH hates Marcus. Says all he can hear is mucous.

Vincent
