Thoughts on Mark?

Think it’s quite a strong handsome name, will serve him well throughout life. Happens to be the name of both mine and DH grandfather. Middle name Joseph. What do people think?

I like it. But then the only Mark I know is very nice.

My first real boyfriend in the early 90s. Happy memories for me. I like it.

decoraters · 21/10/2020 22:19

I love Mark!

It just sounds dated to me, not a classic just a boring 70's/80's name but its your baby so if you like it then go for it

NiceGerbil · 21/10/2020 22:18

Reckon it's due for a comeback.

It's a good name.

MadisonAvenue · 21/10/2020 22:17

To me it’s a 70s name and not a classic. Every class at my school had at least two boys called Mark.

Dull, I grew up with lots of them, all dull

I'm forever putting the word skid before it too 😬 (childishness I know)

hillfda · 21/10/2020 22:06

Really nice

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 21/10/2020 22:02

Like it.

Pugdoglife · 21/10/2020 22:00

Great choice

JayeAshe · 21/10/2020 21:59

I love Mark as a name. My younger cousin. Strong, intelligent, dependable.

emilybrontescorsett · 21/10/2020 21:56

Good choice

Cheeseycheeseycheesecheese · 21/10/2020 21:51

I think its a strong name, to me Mark is dependable. Probably because both my dad and fil are Marks 😂

And Joseph works perfectly as a middle name.

DramaAlpaca · 21/10/2020 21:50

I agree, it's an underused classic.

Mark Joseph is a very nice combination.

SeanCailleach · 21/10/2020 21:50

Strong and stable comes to mind.
It is a classic. Haven't come across a young one for years.

It’s an underused classic.
