In Poland this name is NEVER feminine, so there is no confusion. In the English speaking world I can see the confusion between Mary-Anne and Marian but it does not occur in Polish. In fact the name is a really strongly masculine name to me.

Who would be cruel enough to name a boy Marian?

I visited Romania this summer, and I met several very wonderful new friends. This was one of my favorite names. Yes, it's female in America, but the way it is pronounced there, MAHR-yan, or as we said it sometimes, mah-ree-YAHN, it sounds very masculine. :) I love the name.
Pet names I use often for my friend Marian are Mario & Mari. And sometimes... Maria or Marianna.
And that is the one downside to this name is the teasing for it being a feminine like name. But, if you live in Romania, then that won't happen. America? Yes, it will.
