Marcia?

[Clueless79]

Like it? Or is it awful? Is it pronounced Marsha or Mar-cee-a? Hmm...

I like it (it's on my girls list) and would pronounce it Marsha, probably depends on the region, I'm in staffs.

Hubby just said he'd say Mar-cee-a so ignore my regional theory, lol

Looked after a Marcia once she was mar-cee-a. I really like it. She was called Marcie as a nn which is also lovely.

I have known both a Marsha-Marcia and a Mar-cee-a-Marcia, and personally prefer the latter.

I know a Marcia pronounced mar-see-a. I like it although it makes me think of a cartoon mouse possibly from a film I saw as a child! But you didn't really need to know that last bit.

Ooh I'm pleasantly surprised at these responses - it just floated through my mind on a whim earlier and I thought I liked it but expected to be told it's awful! I have to admit I prefer the Marsha pronunciation but is that too Brady? Or has that association passed now? Am liking Marcie

I would say Mar-ce-a, I'm much not a fan, it feels very bored american housewife - not sure if its just cos her name is Marcia, but Marcia Cross' character Bree in Desperate Housewives is what I think of. Marcie is pretty for a little girl but it is not my taste. Mar-ce-a is much better than Marsh-a.

Personally, I'd go for something more like Cecelia, Marianne, Maria or something if you like the 'shape' of the name.

One of my best friends is called Marcia ( Mar Cee A) she is one of the best , most kind, gentle people I know! :) She is 33.

I know a lovely Marcia

Great name, and Marcie is an adorable nickname for a toddler!

I like it. I'd pronounce it Mar-see-a.

If you like it pronounced Marsha why not spell it Marsha too?

I know one in her 40s - she's Mar-see-a.

I know loads of Marcia's in the U.S. and Mexico!!!!!

They all pronounce it Marsha, but when among Spanish speaking folks then Mar-cee-a.

I would pronounce Marcia 'Mar-cee-a' and call my daughter Marsha if that's how I wanted her name pronounced.

Hmm I quite like Marsha but for some reason I have this feeling that it's a name lots of people wouldn't be keen on and although it's probably daft to be at all influenced by others' opinions I'm only guessing at, I'd want my child to have a 'likeable' name. Back to the drawing board eh? Need to find the name that just feels right all round.

Marina, Melissa, Martha?

I know a Marcia and she's lovely, I love the name, it would have been top of my list if I'd had another DD.

Marsha. But its a 45 year old american, not a baby.

My old English teacher was Marcia (see-a)

She was lovely.

I have a second cousin, Marcia, whose name is pronounced Mar see uh.

I think Martha is lovely. It's becoming quite popular at the moment I think?
