Thoughts on the boy name 'Mars' or 'Marz'?

[maya7161]

Hi all,

What do you think of the name Mars/Marz? I know it isn't very common so I'm not sure what others think of it. How do you think it should be spelt?

Thanks

No.

They may try to be the first to walk on Mars, too.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Have you considered Balonz for that finishing with a z vibe?

To the OP, try Marseille. It's more whacko.

No.

Pluto is far better.

It's a chocolate bar.

No it's a planet! What about its moons for names - Phobos (fear) or Deimos (panic).

No, not a fan. The only worse planet option would be Uranus, or Uranuz

Your a what?

How about naming him Mercury. Not after the Roman God Mercurius. Moreso, named after the God of Thermometers.

Oh wow, guess it isn't very popular then. Thanks for the feedback everyone. This isn't actually for a baby but someone who has already been named 'Marouf' (different culture). He doesn't like his name much (I think it's quite cool) and is asking me what I think of Mars as a nickname. He doesn't want a nickname that just seems overly unrelated to his actual name.

You could base it on an unsolved Countdown conundrum word.

How about M

Or Em

Ah well, that puts a different slant on it, doesn't it?

He's an adult (I presume), he can call himself anything he likes.

Yep he's an adult

I was at school with a girl name Marsali, and we all called her Mars, if that helps...

I prefer Ballonz

How about Lion instead?

Or Thor?

But nicknames are different! They are often silly or unusual, so now it doesn't seem so bad.

Interesting! I've never had a nickname / called anyone by any kind of nickname. Would you say it's okay as a business/work name? He works in finance and needs to keep things professional.

I get called by my nickname mostly.
