Hi everyone, my husband and I can't decide on a name for our baby. We're choosing between Marcus (Mark) and Daniel. Which name do you think is better?

Daniel is a handsome classic still well in use today, but not overly popular anymore.

Marcus/Mark feels more dated to me. It's ok, but I prefer Daniel.

Marcus! 💯

I love the name Daniel x

Daniel - but that's because it was my grandfather's name and he was apparently a very nice man.

Marcus (not Mark)
Or Duncan

Oh I had these as my last two choices, had a girls so never had to decide. I think I prefer Marcus but it's a very close call.

Daniel - just . They are both great choices!
