My father's name is Marc and when I was young, I would always misspell it because "normal" people would spell it M-A-R-K. My father spelled it M-A-R-C, so I got a little confused. I like the name, though. Although, it is a little bland. I've always hated plain names- like mine, for instance. That's why I sometimes go by "Anna Marie" instead of just "Anna". I do like the name Marc, all-in-all.
