[Opinions] Marcia
This name has been growing on me recently. I think it'd be a cool way of honouring my dad, Mark. I realize people from my parents' generation will immediately think of the Brady Bunch, but the association doesn't bother me at all. Anyway, it isn't an issue with my generation, so I don't see why it'd be an issue for any hypothetical future children.
So, WDYT?

The marsh sound just puts me off. Marcella would be better, imo.
I've always liked Marcia. It has a sturdy, mid-century feel that really appeals to me, but, at the same time, I don't think it feels out of place next to today's names.
I don't think the Brady Bunch is a big deal either, but then I like Greg, so what do I know?

I like it. I wouldn't mind being a Marcia at any age. I'd rather be Marcia than Marsha. Although I like Marsha, it reminds me more of the Brady Bunch, and it also reminds me more of Marshall than it does of Marcus. Marcia evokes Marcus well... better than Marcella IMO. Ideally I'd want to pronounce it with three syllables, MAR-see-a. But I doubt I actually would, since that'd be pretty impractical.
prefer Marcella
