Marcus is my favourite boys name but was used by sister so need other suggestions.

DH is pretty much stuck on Harry atm but, at 30wks, I still cannot find another boys name I love as much as Marcus.

Suggestions much appreciated Smile

Marcus and Alastair/Alasdair (couldn't decide on spelling) were my 2 favourite names, but DH vetoed them both and then suggested something I hadn't even thought of.

charley24 · 22/08/2010 10:25

DD1 would have been Marcus, my other choices were Nicholas and Dominic !

ValiumSingleton · 22/08/2010 15:28

I love Marcus too, a good under-used roman classic. I also like Patrick, Julius, Dominic, Gregory, Peter, and slightly quirkier and so not quite in the same style as Marcus really, but I also love Thaddeus, Saul, Fergus, Donald, Victor

FerminaUrbinoDaza · 22/08/2010 15:42

I knew a Marcus who had a brother called Magnus.

StealthPolarBear · 22/08/2010 15:43

vincent?

ValiumSingleton · 22/08/2010 15:55

Marcus and Magnus. No, no, no.

Not for humans. Pandas in the zoo, yes!

FerminaUrbinoDaza · 22/08/2010 16:00

ValiumSingleton - that's nt the half of it, they were two of six, named in 'pairs'. Unfortunately I can't remember the rest of the sib set. It was spectacular.

Clowance · 22/08/2010 17:08

Yay, how exciting. I have a Marcus and have never met another young Marcus, and it is a name rarely mentioned or suggested on here.

I was starting to think I had given DS an awful name. Not that I care what others think Smile

I'll have a think what other names I liked...
