At least this isn't a feminine title. I don't like it, and if a person with this name ever went to Europe then I am sure his name might come up. Some people name their son Duke or Baron, King, and Saint, so I don't see why this name is so different. I don't like those names.

Many Americans pronounce this MAHR-kwis. [noted -ed]
The name Marquis was given to 220 boys born in the US in 2016. More than 99.9 percent of people with the first name Marquis are male.

General Marquis Warren is the name of Samuel L Jacson's character in "The Hateful Eight" although in the movie it's not pronounced the French way, and the s is not silent.

I actually think this is a nice name. It sounds classy.
This name is actually not the most "ghetto" thing I've ever heard. It actually sounds quite nice--but probably wouldn't look/sound right outside America. For example, if the bearer ever took a trip around Europe, his name might lead to some awkward social encounters--or he could turn it into a great ice breaker! However, Marquise is a truly awful name. But Marquis... not that bad.

I don't like this name. Since this is a title, it sounds pretentious and may lead to a superiority complex.
