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?

It’s an underused classic.

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.

DramaAlpaca · 21/10/2020 21:50

I agree, it's an underused classic.

Mark Joseph is a very nice combination.

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.

Good choice

JayeAshe · 21/10/2020 21:59

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

Pugdoglife · 21/10/2020 22:00

Great choice

StrictlyAFemaleFemale · 21/10/2020 22:02

Like it.

hillfda · 21/10/2020 22:06

Really nice

narcdad45 · 21/10/2020 22:11

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

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

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.

NiceGerbil · 21/10/2020 22:18

Reckon it's due for a comeback.

It's a good name.

smilingthroughgrittedteeth · 21/10/2020 22:19

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

decoraters · 21/10/2020 22:19

I love Mark!

TheId · 21/10/2020 22:30

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

SylvanianFrenemies · 21/10/2020 22:32

Love it ❤

JM10 · 21/10/2020 22:33

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

shrill · 21/10/2020 22:34

Love it

Kimbo1974 · 21/10/2020 22:34

Yea like it, my boys middle name

cactusdog · 21/10/2020 22:35

Love it! Strong and classic.

EhUp · 21/10/2020 22:35

Good solid name and definitely due a come back

I'd much rather Mark or John than Alfie or Archie!

audreyand · 21/10/2020 22:36

So so dull. And dated.

Strangedays20 · 21/10/2020 22:37

Too 60s/70s when there were three in every class.

Ontheboardwalk · 21/10/2020 22:37

I"m showing my age but just makes me think of Mark Fowler. Self centred and annoying
