Marcus is an ancient Roman name. (Marcus Aurelius, anyone?) My cousin's child is named Marcus and they're about as white as you can get.

Love the name.

Love it, knew a REALLY HOT (white) Marcus. Also knew some black guys named Marcus, and I liked them all so have good associations with the name.

Please don't be ashamed. I too chose not to give my child a black name and we are black.

How PC. Give me a break. All ethnicities have names more common within their groups.

Black name. Nice name, but if I were white, I wouldn't use it.
