Help[Opinions] Marcia/Marsha
This name is one I recently came across. I think it's cool. I was waiting for my step mom to drop off my brother and there was a mom and she was calling her child Marsha (or was it Marcia?)
Well anywho, I researched the name and I like were the name came from and how it sounds.
What I want to know is what you think of it
Also which is better Marcia or Marsha? The probolem is that some people will say "Mar-ce--ah" and I don't like that. But I don't like the "Sha" in Marsha. So I'm stuck. What should I do?

I prefer Marcia.
Lots of people will know how to pronounce it, and it'll be pretty easy to correct those who don't. It also looks prettier to me. I think Marcia is one of those names that isn't too popular now, but is due for a revival.

I like Marcia pronounced Mahr-SEE-ah. If you want it pronounced as Marsha, why not spell it Marsha?
Though if people in USA pronounce Marcia a Marsha and you prefer this spelling, use Marcia and correct the few who pronounce it the other way.
I'm not fond of the sh-sound in the middle of names.

Marica
I realize Marica is a mistyping of Marcia, but I really like Marica (or Marika).

"Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!" I automatically think of the Brady Bunch, but most kids born today probably won't know anything about it (then again, they might given the popularity of the show). The name is personally nms but if I had to pick, I would use the spelling Marcia.
