Mars is also used as a feminine name in Roman Mythology. However, it's more common for males. So, I think that the "Gender" of this name should be updated from "Masculine" to "Masculine & Feminine". A known female bearer of this name is Mars Argo, an Internet YouTube personality.Sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_(disambiguation) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Argo
How about this just being a really cool manly man kind of name with lots of ancient mythological history and not part of some obvious modern political agenda? Thanks.
Actually, altrough it may be strange, I think the name Mars is ok to name a person in italy, because it came from rome, and it's the god of war of rome... but that's my opinion.

Mars was the name of one of the commanders of Team Galactic in Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum. Strangely, the character was female.
I find it sort of odd to consider this name for a girl. Aside from the fact that she'd get made fun of, it is a VERY masculine name in every way. Other than the planet it's a Roman god and even the meaning has to do with masculinity.

The Greek name for the god Mars is Aries.

Correction: Aries was the ram in Roman mythology. Ares--no I--is the Greek god of war. I wouldn't name my child Mars, but I'd definitely consider other variations of the name, like Ares.
I'd never name MY kid this, but I can imagine it on a quirky, left-of-center sort of guy or girl who plays guitar, is chatty, and loves to have fun.If it weren't a planet, I think there'd be more kids with this name out there.
As the name of a planet, this is quite a strange name for a person, but it beats Venus, Jupiter, and, I shudder to think, Uranus. It's not that bad, sound-wise anyway, but quite strange.
Prince Mars, also known as Prince Marth, is a principal character in two of the Fire Emblem video game series, as well as the Fire Emblem anime. He is also an unlockable character in Super Smash Brothers Melee.
