I’m sorry but I don’t like it. It’s very boring and I have personally never met a Mark that wasn’t weird, dim, a jerk or a combination of all of these qualities.

Maybe it's because I don't know a lot of guys named Mark, but it doesn't feel dated to me. In fact, I think it's a very strong, handsome, and cool-sounding name!

I do not understand this website. Any name that is boring or wildly overdone gets high praise. Any name that is sort of unique or interesting gets dragged through the mud. I know so many Marks, and the sound of it in general just isn't that interesting to me.

This is the name of my boyfriend who's a sweet lovable guy. He has a great personality and we clicked so well the first time we talked. He's left a Mark on my heart. This name suits him so well. Sure the name is basic and simple but there's nothing wrong with that.
Every Mark I have ever met has had a strong personality. This name works for all ages from children to adulthood to old age and everything in between. Naming your son Mark in this day and age he'd be probably the only one and won't have to share his name with anybody else, by having half a dozen Mark's in his class.

This is one that appears rather dated and not as refined as it might have been decades ago. Like the name Matt, it tends to conjure an image of a certain period in the previous century when it was hip and full of spice.
Now? It appears rather bland and lacking a certain element of uniqueness.

"Mark" is an incredibly classic, timeless, professional and handsome name. I find it an honoring bow to the old-world, yet a welcoming wave to contemporary life. A breath of fresh air from all the "Jayden"s.
I only support the traditional spellings... in other words: Mark, Marc. Taking it a further "kre8tiv" step to "Marck" instantly murders the elegant pleasure.
"Markie/Marky" is an irresistible nickname, may I add.

It's funny how many posters I'm seeing that scorn the name Mark for sounding like he's "marking things up" or "leaving marks all over the place." I've always thought that the sentiment "to leave your mark on something/someone" was very powerful, especially when conveyed in someone's name. I'd have to be one of those "refrigerator mothers" if I ever had a son and didn't feel like he'd left some kind of mark on me.

Mark is a very overly used name in America and I'm sure it's well know in other countries as well. I've known about three people with this name personally and all of them are hard working and honest people. The trait to be silly and creative seems to follow with this name too. Though I have to say that the Polish form of Mark is my favorite. It's more classy. Overall, Mark is a good name with great personality but only if you can overcome the fact that it is overused. Though it's probably not as overused as Christopher or Jacob. =D That's a plus.
