No strong feelings one way or another. I guess you could call it...

unremarkable.

 

[Earthbound64]

Also called John, right?


(Biblical reference, of course)

 

[TheMan]

too plain, boring, and common.

you can do better.

 

[Lorcain]

It doesn't seem too common anywhere I've lived, not like more popular names with 2-3 kids with the same name in a class or at a jobsite.

The best thing about the name Mark is that it may be the coolest name ever when you spell it backwards, KRAM!

 

[Luminaire]

Kinda plain and boring. It's 2017. Though, if you want to use the name while still having social relevancy, @Mark would suffice.

 

[Lord Panda]

Needs a modern twist to it.

Something like:

Fark.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

Mark is not an easy name for children to mock. That means it is probably a good name.

 

[D6AMIA6N]

What! You can't be serious!

Mocking the name Mark is easy for a child, let me show you. Fuck that Mark! Mark ass little bitch! Mark Mark fuck that asshole! And finally, Mark? More like dick face.

See?

 

[BocoDragon]

Biblical names are so played out.

 

[MetroidPrimeRib]

My dad is named Mark.

Upon seeing this thread title my first thought was still "Oh hi Mark."

 

[kakashi08]

Matthew or Matt or Matte

 

[umop_3pisdn]

It's classic and congenial sounding, monosyllabic, unpretentious, and hard to mock. I think it's a good choice.

 

[Fuzzy]

Mark is fine as long as he doesn't end up with the nickname Skid.

 

[Pinko Marx]

Great name.

 

[cryptosporidium]

Boring name.

Do something cool like Abel, Leopold, Django, Reinhardt, Pheonix, Guy, Glen, Hannibal, etc

Be the guy who makes his son cool through name alone. My buddy is named Jesus, pronounced Je Sus. Worked wonders for him.

 

[DorkLord54]

Is your son a chixken?

 

[Earthbound64]

Matte

Glossy

 

[Chojin]

It's no Aiden, Caiden, Jaden, Braden, Hayden, or Graiden but it should be okay.

 

[Not]

I'll forever hate the name Mark after reading Robert Kirkman's writing on Invincible

 

[Nipo]

I think of Mark from Rent. But since no one born after 2000 has really seen it that shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I really like the name Mark and I would also consider it, if I had another son.

Although, I've always wondered what it must be like for second children, who are the same gender as their older sibling to know they were given their parents second favorite name...

How about 4th favorite

 

[TheContact]

Pick something unique imo

 

[highrider]

I like it, but I generally prefer traditional names. Nothing against Colby and Aiden..

 

[Skellig Gra]

Pick something unique imo

This is how kids get stuck with stupid names that date them horribly to the era they were born in.

I like it, but I generally prefer traditional names. Nothing against Colby and Aiden..

FWIW Aiden is actually a traditional Irish name.

 

[SafeinSound]

Not a fan. But it's better than Caleb or Brayden

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

I don't like it.

 

[DrSlek]

Max....middle name: Power

 

[Brock Reiher]

O hai

 

[davepoobond]

why not Muarck

My wife wanted that bullshit. She wants to do a portmanteau of our dads John + Roberto if we had a son. And I was like. Okay I says, John-Robert sounds alright. I'm like the fourth John as far as I know since my great grandfather. And she's like "No I was thinking Rojon." I tell her that's not a name. She says she wants the kid to be "unique" so I tell her no, if we want him to be unique we'll sign him up for boys gymnastics.

Thank God we had a girl. Isabel. Best ever.

Gonna name my next KOTOR character Rojon.

Goodspeed Sir Sandwich!

Dodged a bullet there. Thank god for little Izzy.

 

[Prodigal Son]

trying to think of a birth mark joke for when mark is being born hold on

 

[super-famicom]

A lot better than Kale Breckin, that's for sure.

 

[Rest]

Mark is best when precede by a Marky.

 

[Not]

My kids are getting common fucking names

You're not born special, make your own specialness

Rojon is a name, I know someone named Rojon.

 

[Eidan]

It’s mine, so I approve.

 

[rpmurphy]

Used to go by that English name but it kinda sucked lol

Partially because being called Marky Mark in the 90s.

 

[Escape Goat]

Mark is an awful name.


Cthulhu Allspark is best.

 

[sphagnum]

The worst gospel, needed a couple rewrites.

Why not Ron?

 

[Hilbert]

I worked with a Mark, who I profoundly detested. Ruined the name for me.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Rojon is a name, I know someone named Rojon.

People name their kids all kind of weird shit. Rojon is not any sort of name that’s ever been used with any consistency.

 

[NESpowerhouse]

Oh hi Mark

Oh hi Mark

Oh hi Mark

Perfect.

 

[Monkeyball]

Do Marq for edge.

 

[Brakke]

Biblical names are so played out.

That’s my take.

At least go with a dope bible name like Abednego or something. Gotta dig deeper than Gospel-Author Basic.

 

[pantsattack]

More of a Marc guy personally.

This for me too. I knew way to many Marks.

 

[DKPOWPOW]

My dad's name is Marc, and I had a cousin named Mark (he sadly passed away). I've always liked the name, prefer it like Marc just cuz I love my dad. I say go for it.
