Second son on the way soon do you think the name Mark is old fashioned?

 

[Astral Dog]

I like it :^)

 

[SOR5]

Oh hi Mark

 

[Altazor]

Oh hi Mark

 

[-Deimos]

Oh hi Mark

 

[robotrock]

More of a Marc guy personally.

 

[yanipheonu]

It's fine?

 

[Dyle]

It's no Cale Breckin

Mark's pretty good, definitely better than low tier male names starting with M like Max/Matt/Matthew/Manuel

 

[Affeinvasion]

There's nothing objectionable about it.

 

[Joyful]

its ok

 

[Strax]

Depends on if you like wrestling or not.

 

[PingPongvonLaserstein]

Mark is an okay dude, but Marc can go fuck himself.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Kid will literally be born a mark

 

[Ordinaryundone]

It's alright. Short for Marcus or just Mark?

 

[Lurch666]

Everyone called mark who I have known has annoyed me in some way so nope.

 

[The Kree]

It's not as cool as Hyperion, but it'll do.

Both my Dad and brother named Mark. I’m a little over saturated to the name but it’s a good name. My wife and I just had our first child, a son, and I named him Chael so I may not be the best to give advice on conventional names haha

 

[Skellig Gra]

Classic biblical name. Fits well in many cultures.

 

[SmackDaddy]

its a mark-ass name imo

 

[Xe4]

It's a good name. I have two uncles named Mark for reference.

 

[| Praxis |]

It's one of my middle names. I have always been indifferent to it.

 

[Farsi]

I will call him Mark-oh from now on.

 

[radios shipping overview]

It's fine. It's pretty common. (Oh hi, Mark)

 

[Ionic]

My dad and uncle are Mark. They're great guys. The real trouble is that my dad's brother is named Mike which apparently led to infinite confusion for my grandmother.

 

[Acorn]

It's my middle name and I have known about 20 people by that name. Think it's a bit too common tbh not that I'm suggesting you go celebrity and name it pomegranate.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

 

[TimeEffect]

Name him Smark

 

[Trouble]

its a mark-ass name imo

Is it better to be a trick-ass mark, or a mark-ass trick? 🤔

whatamark.jif

It's not a bad name at all, prefer Marcus though

EDIT: dammit lol

 

[CampbellzSoup]

Thanks I just thought it was a fun topic as I like something more traditional, and I get a say on this one as we named the first one after her father who passed.

I immediately got shut down with it’s too old fashioned so I thought I’d poll some of my buddies here

 

[Mumei]

I have an uncle named Mark! And a couple friends named Mark!

I like the name.

 

[Astral Dog]

Though i think you would be better with a Mike

 

[MarkMclovin]

Best name ever.

 

[slabrock]

It's not a bad name at all, prefer Marcus though

EDIT: dammit lol

Marcus you say?

 

[Clockwork5]

I like it as my name.

 

[Van Bur3n]

Only if you call him Marky Mark. At least once.

 

[Rumblebones]

It's a bit of a boring choice.

 

[Currygan]

Just call him Marco, which is soo exotic

 

[mrkgoo]

Mark is a fine name. But I like names that a re simple and are just names.

 

[Prez]

It's pretty bland. Try something original like Mork.

 

[Incitemaybe]

Not much to say other than it's common. Sounds like that may be part of the appeal to you so why not?

 

[Yado]

It's too plain.

 

[Atomic Playboy]

I have two uncles with that name, so I definitely associate it with an older generation. But I don't really have negative feelings about it. More that it just feels like the name of someone who is already a grown-ass man. Like, if I met a toddler named Mark, I'd expect him to be wearing a suit and offer me a firm handshake, before brushing me off to take a phonecall from a client. "Mark"s come out of the womb having been a partner in the firm for 3 years.

 

[old manatee]

I know one Mark and he's a perfect human being.

 

[FallingEdge]

 

[Imp the Dimp]

5/10 name

 

[thecosmicfly]

How about Steve.

 

[psyfi]

it's ok
