As mar-see-ah it's lovely and has a cute nickname in Marcy. As marsh-ah it's kind of dated but not terrible.

I think it's pretty.

Reminds me of Marcia Cross (actress on Desperate Housewives). This name reminds of of a 1950s housewife style name. I don’t like it for modern times.

I don't like it, but it's better than swampy Marsha. If I were pushed, I'd settle for Marcelle, though I don't like it much either.

Marcy is much better.

Marcia sounds like it wants to be soft, but it just ends up kinda unattractive and a little harsh to the ear.

When it's pronounced Mar-See-ah I mildly like it, but when it's Marsh- ah I dislike it, too middle aged.

Agreed.

This spelling makes me want to pronounce it MAR-cha, but Marsha manages to be even worse.

Marcia Marcia Marcia ...It became a catchphrase and you still hear it today; on the Brady Bunch, the other kids used to say that because of Marcia's habit of making everything all about herself.I think it's kind of a harsh-sounding name, I get this impression of a hard-looking sixty-year-old woman with a Brooklyn accent (Mah-Sha) who smokes like a chimney and wears heavy eye makeup and terrible overprocessed, overdyed (probably dyed a dead shade of black) and scary-long fingernails.

She sounds cool.
