Interesting.
It makes a lot of sense, too. Oddly enough Marion is a fairly common name in black communities - they tend to use names like Jordan, Marion and Stacy on boys still.

Yeah, I think either spelling can be used on either sex just fine, given the history of usage. I think Marion on guys is nice, too. I just tend to like the O for girls myself, and the A one for boys. I wouldn't name a boy Marian, though. Too many people would interpret it as being like Marianne.Stacy on boys is neat, I like that.

I think it's neat on boys, too.I like a lot of the names used in the black community - Demetria, Demetrius, Stacy on boys, Lucius, Vernon - they seem to have more creativity and lack the vibe of "I'm just going to be safe and name my child Jessica"

Ha, I know a ton of black girls named Jessica. To me it's one of those names that connotes neither/both black and/or white, like Marcus, Kendra, Tiffany, Anthony

I do, too.It was just the first super common name to come to me, which is why I used it.
