Marcus, Marc, Mark

[MikeHawk]

What are your thoughts on these?

Refreshing. Makes me think of handsome but sightly grating Mark Wright.

I really like Marcus. I’m less keen on Mark/Marc.

Mark Anthony is a gorgeous, strong classic.

I like Marcus, have only ever met 2, both adults.

Marco is really cool too.

Pros: Strong, handsome, classic, striking.
Cons: Dated, the word mark meaning stain.

I quite like them. Don't hear them much these days.

This is my brothers name. It does not say these things to me

Don't like Marcus but love the others.

Marc looks unfinished.

Marcus or Mark are fine, a bit vanilla, but fine.

Hate Marc, love Mark, Marcus fine.

Totally boring, beige, outmoded dad names and much prefer modern names over these sorts.

I prefer Mark. Good strong name.

Marc and Marcus make me cringe, no idea why!

(Was there a dodgy "bad geezer" called Marcus on a daytime soap in the 90's? Was it El Dorado?)

Catherine Tate doing Marc

This has got me to wonder when did the name Mark first make an appearance on English soil? I don't seem to recall any mention of it in classic literary works, unlike other more conventional names.

All horrible.

A mark is a dirty stain.

Marcus has an awful barking sound, and is reminiscent of mucus.

I like Marcus

Mark. Strong, handsome.

In Arthurian lore, Sir Mark of Cornwall is a member of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table.

Does your brother not look like this then @Marmite27

I have a colleague called Marc. He says that he spends his whole life explaining that it's "Marc-with-a-c" and it gets old quickly.

Already used for one of the Evangelists by Tyndale/Coverdale in the 1500s..?

I’d go for Marcus

I like Mark but a bit early for a revival
