They’re not to my taste but they’re certainly all unique which is nice!

SausageRoll2020 · 05/04/2023 21:52

Like Gideon, Marus is nice enough.
Caspian just reminds me of the sea.
Brody is awful.

Luredbyapomegranate · 05/04/2023 21:53

Gideon - really like it and underused
Brody - really don’t like it, more for a dog..
Caspian - ok but prefer Cassian
Marcus - perfectly nice

ComeTheFuckOnBridgett · 05/04/2023 21:53

I like Marcus but it getting shorted to mark would put me off it.

UsingChangeofName · 05/04/2023 21:57

I like Marcus, but really don't like any of the others.

Mumofgirls2017 · 05/04/2023 22:21

Gideon - bit much, sounds like giddy-up
Brody - meh
Caspian - love
Marcus- ok

Whydothat · 05/04/2023 22:34

Love Gideon and Caspian
Dislike Bridge
Marcus is a bit dull

JKisrolling · 06/04/2023 06:21

I love Gideon! I don’t have kids yet but if I ever have a boy that’s what I’d call him (if my partner agrees!)

KirstenBlest · 06/04/2023 09:11

Gideon - Giddy? Dislike
Brody - Dislike
Caspian - OK but a bit Narnian
Marcus - like

toastofthetown · 06/04/2023 09:19

Gideon - love Gideon
Brody - not awful but not my favourite from your list
Caspian - I love the nickname Cass and like Caspian
Marcus - Marcus is fine but dull

Unique? Not at all. Have a look at ons lists and you'll see how often they're used.

I like them all, particularly Caspian.

ourflagmeansdeath · 06/04/2023 11:23

Gideon - I don't mind it, not to my taste but it either makes me think of Neil Patrick Harris' son or the character from Hetty Feather!
Brody- It's okay, a little too close tk broody for me
Caspian- Lovely name, makes me think of Narnia
Marcus - It's quite nice 😊

My favourite would be Caspian

Caspian and Gideon and Marcus are perfectly handsome, solid, boys' names. I prefer Mark to Marcus.
(I think it is a Mr Mark Darcy thing.)
Brody is not attractive to me.

pancakesandpepsi · 06/04/2023 15:11

@Bienemajas each to their own in their views, from my personal experience I haven’t come across any in the schools or nurseries locally and certainly they are not popular names in my part of the country.

Bienemajas · 06/04/2023 15:55

But 'unique' means literally only a single one. A name that has never been used before...!

All those names are fairly popular even if you've not personally met one

emmathedilemma · 06/04/2023 16:47

Marcus is the best of a bad bunch.
Gideon and Caspain are hideous and I know too many dogs called Brody (they're very nice dogs but it suits them more than it would a grown man)
