Is Mark due a revival?

[Bortles]

In the same way Eric has been popping up again? Not Marcus or Marco but just Mark/Marc. Anyone know any little ones?

I don't like marcus/Marcel but don't mind Mark. But I've always liked Marc.

I like Marcus

I have several very positive associations with Mark and it was on my long-list. I think it is relatively neutral sounding and hard to dislike. If I met a little boy called Mark, I don't think I would find it dated in the same way that some of the other "about my age" names like Gary or Darren would be dated now. FWIW, the youngest one I know is about 11.

No. Eric is coming back because it’s a generation away from Mark. Mark is what today’s small children’s dads are named, so it will start to come back in twenty years when they start to have children.

Funnily enough the current popular names thread made me think of Mark. There are so many forty-something men named Mark in my workplace that they are known by their initials or their surnames.

It’s biblical so it’ll come round again. There aren’t many Johns currently. Lots of Matthews and Luke’s though.
